Mark Lyon's GMail Loader

Got a new boss who's does not like anything that isn't Microsoft. So, buh-bye to our internal GroupWise and our external email system and hello Google Apps. Transferring the information from the Thunderbird accounts became much simpler with GMail Loader. Easiest way to do this is in the Google Apps Inbox, label everything to "NewInbox" and archive it. Then in each of the Thunderbird folders, use GMail Loader to transfer the info the the GA Inbox. When it all arrives, label it with the TB folder name and archive it. Keep on repeating until all the TBird folders have been transferred. It worked very quickly with the exception of the HR Director, who had a BOOCOO of folders, due to the fact he'd been with us for quite a while. Could have been much worse had I not had the utility.

Google Notebook

Google continues to become more and more useful. Other than the Ask section, I never use Yahoo! any more. Just tried the Notebook function and FF add-on. Rather than copying a chunk of data to a local file and then possibly forget to take it to home/work with me, I can drop it in a GN and have it handy where ever. Later, if I want to put it in my Clie or format it to a specific file, I've got it. Very sweet Google.
