Load all your mail into Gmail, at a rate of 30 messages per minute. I don’t want to think about how long this would take for me. Hat tip: Carthik.

Mark Pilgrim uses IMAP, but every couple months he downloads all his messages via POP and archives them for backup. I like this approach. I also think that if there were a way to do this with GMail — incrementally, like every month, as compared to the Herculean task of trying to shove all email you’ve ever received into GMail at once — I’d be very excited.
How many casual computer users actually have e-mail they received several years ago? Not many, and it’s often because they weren’t using e-mail several years ago. But in this coming years this is going to get more and more important. Someone’s going to have to figure out a way to make e-mail archival much easier than it is now.
here is another alternative in case u still read my comments before deleting 🙂

my bad, the above program works for hotmail and wont keep the dates… apologies if it offended anyone 🙁
Andrew, for me that wouldn’t work because the whole point of IMAP for me is having all my email accessible from anywhere.
