My 2 meg took about a day to pull over, but it's all at Google's end. I guess you could, for this, get the premium edition for 10 days, migrate your mail over, and then cancel the 30-day free trial.

I've got 1.6GB of mail that I've accumulated over the past few years - and while I definitely don't need the majority of the stuff there, it's very handy being able to quickly track down items that I do want - from pretty much anywhere. And it's the kind of thing that would dissuade me from changing providers. Damn clever move, Google... Out of interest, what does this mean for your mail archive in your gmail account?
