Oh! This is big news. I never knew this sort of thing could be done. Ok,
so my .evolution in my /home has over 3 GB of mail in it. Is this going
to be able to be done? You mentioned that over 500 MB, Gmail may
throttle my connection.

And you mention trying one mail at a time. My outbox has 15,000 mails in
it. Am I going to be able to transfer large amounts like this by the
method discussed?

When I put my evo mail into that new folder I've created, is it getting
"mailed" to the gmail account, or "uploaded". I do not want something
getting "mailed" and thereby new sets of headers etc attached to it.

Thanks,
