Did it work?  :)

Luckily, I don't use IMAP.  Just POP3.

As a DB person, I know the perils of trying to synchronize a
database.  :)

Ah, that explains why I'm swapping - which of course leads to slow
decay in conversion speed.

Luckily it's relatively easy for me to divide the e-mail folders into
smaller more manageable chunks.  I'll try import them in 20K units
That seems to be an okay size.  Although I wonder if it's more
allocation than sheer number ...
