Important!

To convert to Gmail, messages must be individually uploaded. The speed of this process is completely dependent on the speed that you can upload, which is usually AT LEAST ten times slower than you can download. Therefore, converting messages to Gmail can take several hours.
Gmail has a 40 character limit on the names of folders. Therefore, Address Magic will "flatten" your folder hierarachy to make it fit. This strategy also fits better with Gmail's concept of labels instead of of folders.
