Migrating One Gmail/Google Apps Mail Account to Another

After trying to write my own IMAP tool to migrate google apps mail from one google apps account to another and getting hung up trying to apply the proper flags, I discovered larch - a ruby script.

So I downloaded ruby for windows:

http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/

Ran 'Start Command Prompt with Ruby' from the start menu and issued the command

gem install larch

Ran 'larch --help' to discover the arguments and I'm on my way!

It failed once but I ran it again and it picks up from where it left off - sweet!

Ryan Grove is the man!  Thanks Ryan!
