Hi, It's tough to explain, but if you log into your gmail account on the web, then click settings, then click forwarding and pop/imap, Enable Imap, and then you use the Imap server settings instead of the pop server settings.
This allows you to manage all of your email on the server, so that a change made on one computer takes place across all devices that you use to check email. Once you have added the IMap account to windows mail, you can then select messages and press control shift V to move them. You then choose your IMap folder and the messages are uploaded to the server. Then when you put the settings into a new device such as apple mail on your mac, the messages are downloaded to the new computer but managed on the server. So, your new mac and your old windows machine will have exactly the same mailboxes and a change made on one takes place on the other. Just remember to remove the pop account or set it to stop checking or it will grab all of the messages and try to delete them from the server and just make a huge mess. If you are really intimidated by all of this and you just want some one to sit with you over the phone and do it, check http://www.erik-burggraaf.com and feel free to give me a call. I charge, but you will have the peace of mind knowing that it will be taken care of just the way you want. Or you can follow the steps above and just keep emailing the list with questions as you go. We're here to help.
