What I need is to takie many hundreds of Outlook email folders and subfolders located in many personal email post office files (.pst files) and convert them to Gmail. There is a Google App, Mail Sync, that will take the messages, contacts, and calendar entries (and soon tasks as well) and move them to the faster, less restrictive Gmail environment, but it only works with one .pst file and each email can only be under one “conversation.” There can be labels (again, conversations) for sub-folders, but all sub-folders are limited to 40 characters total (not each sub-folder, all sub-folders). This is too restrictive for me having sub-folders nested in some cases 10 deep. Any of my emails could be part of a Google Wave including financial, networking, video, audio, text, photo info, charts, Power Point slides, PDF’s, you name it, in a Wave of Wavelet, “Blib” of “Blip.” I’m researching how to access the elusive .pst format and reconstruct the folder/sub-folder structure independently of Outlook and make each email part of many “conversations,” such as date (all emails within a date or date range), all emails arranged by sender both sender names and sender email address, arranged by sub-folder name with immediate access to folder parent paths (something for which Outlook is woefully inadequate) arranged by projects, sources, points of interest, actions taken, actions required, personal, private, public, business, social, you name it. There is a lot of historical, collabrative, info stashed away in my emails on such diverse subjects as personal development, inspiration, spirituality, junk, family, health, Internet investing, Real estate investing, people, magazines, my business, my son’s businesses, my blogs, friends, those I follow, those following me, Home, OK what ever is in my Favorites Folders list in Outlook. Conversational threads are a great way to organize in Google Apps, but I want it expanded which means my Outlook folders would have to exploded to glean what’s in hundreds of thousands of emails I have collected over 30 years, many still useful. The paid version ($50/YEAR) will give each Gmail user 25 Gigs of storage. That’s way more than enough for me even with all the media files stashed in my Outlook folders. I want and need this App. It’s my number one discretionary project. What do you think?
