Google Email Uploader is application from Google that allow user to upload emails from desktop email application to Gmail in Google Apps ONLY. Normal Gmail is not supported. So far it works only Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express and Thunderbird.
If you use Google Apps, you can take the advantage of this application to keep the copy of your emails on the cloud, with only few steps below.
1. Download and install Google Email Uploader from this link.
2. Login to your Google Apps account. Yes Google Apps account, not your Google account.
3. It will read which email mailboxes and folders are available on your desktop. Just choose from which mailboxes you want to upload.
4. Usually, user who use desktop email application such as Outlook keep or arrange their email on folder. The concept of ‘Label’ (Gmail feature) is equivalent to folder. Google Email Uploader is suggeting to create Labels based on the folder name, so you’ll have similar email structure and find it easier to find back any email in Google Apps.
