Google Email Uploader for Mac: Google Apps Migration Made Easy

Posted by John Saddington on Jan 30, 2010

Finally.

Google has released a Mac version of their Email Uploader which enables transition to Google Apps even easier. If you’re a Windows user you’ve had this capability for a while already.

Essentially this uploader helps you migrate your email messages from Apple Mail, Eudora and/or Thunderbird. You will need a Google Apps for business as this doesn’t work for a regular Gmail account.

I’ve been using Google Apps for my business, my blogs, and other assorted .com’s, and I honestly can’t imagine using any other system; it simply works. And with sync to my iPhone I’m sold.

And, we use it at my full time job at North Point Ministries. I mean, it’s just the bomb.

Are you using Google Apps? Are you considering the migration?

Email Uploader for Mac

Ultimately this is a boon for those who have been waiting for a Mac version. Unfortunately, it's not perfect and you can only load 500 at a time, then it slows down to 1 message per second.

But, you can't always get the world, right? I'm sure it'll improve over time.

    Morning,
    I was checking out google apps for buisnesses for our church i am the youth/media pastor here. I wasn’t positive of the benifits and everything of going that route. Maybe you could do an article on how you use them and clarify how they can used for churches.. Thanks a ton.

    • that would be a great article…!

      • I agree, so I wrote one and submitted.

  3. I love Google apps. I just started using it for my photography business. I have it integrated with Google voice. I don’t know why more people don’t take advantage of all it has to offer.

    That is particularly the case with ministries. Churches can get the premium stuff for FREE. I’m thinking of paying the $50 per year to unlock some of the other capabilities.
