Importing Outlook emails into Gmail - Getting Unknown Sender

Question

I want to backup my Outlook email into Gmail.

I have setup my Gmail account in Outlook using IMAP like is suggested here - http://www.keenerliving.com/importing-outlook-into-gmail - and I can successfully upload Outlook emails into Gmail, but Exchange mail doesn't copy across the sender and receivers. All Exchange emails in Gmail are listed as sent by (unknown sender).

How do you upload Exchange emails into Gmail from Outlook while maintaining the correct From and To email addresses?

Answer 1

Don't use Outlook to copy e-mails.

Use Windows Live Mail (which is part of the Windows Live Essentials suite) and set up connections to both Exchange and Google Mail using IMAP.

Then it is simply a case of copying the folders or individual e-mails with the e-mail address intact.
