So a year ago, I decided to switch from Gmail POP to IMAP. Up until then, I had been using POP since that what was Gmail gave us back in 2006-2007 and I had no need to change until I got an iPhone and I wanted a bit of sync in my life.

So I've been slowly rebuilding my organization from my 'On my Mac' mailboxes to Gmail labels and it's been slow and I have a few mailboxes that I've been avoiding to redo because of the sheer amount of different senders, number of years, etc.

I should have asked this before, but would it be possible to just select all the emails from the 'On my Mac' mailboxes and drag them to a Gmail label? Would Gmail be smart enough to know that these emails already exist in 'All mail' and just apply a label, or would this just create duplicates?

Thank you and Happy Holidays.
