How do import my old Apple Mail and Entourage emails into Gmail?

[mach1andy]

I have 2 (Apple Mail and Entourage) clients storing 3 months of emails each and I want to merge them into Gmail. The messages no longer exist on the web-based servers and I heard IMAP might be in handy for transfering the messages to an online acct then transfering to gmail.

Any idea of how to do this with Entourage or Apple Mail?

BTW, they're both from the same email address, I just changed providors (hosting/email) during the 6 month period.

Your advice is much appreciated!

7Masscomm,

These are cool services for gmail but they don't really help export historical emails in a client (entourage and apple mail) to get to gmail. Thanks for the other tips though!
