Email SYNC

Hi,

I m using Hostgator as my webhost and now i m going to purchase the Business version from Google Apps to use Gmail as my exchange client. I have so many emails in the Hostgator server is there any option to sync them into Google apps email?

Please explain incase if there is any option.

 

Syncing E-Mail
It’s a common problem: You have Microsoft Outlook at work, a different e-mail program at home, and a smartphone in your pocket, all with independent inboxes and outboxes. Ideally, all your devices should communicate, so that when you receive or reply to a message on one, it’s reflected on all of them. But they don’t do that.

Fortunately, there’s a simple solution. It’s called Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP for short), and it allows for two-way communication between your e-mail account and your PCs. That means whatever program or computer you use to access your e-mail, you’ll always see the same thing. There are several ways to set it up, but the easiest is to use Gmail, Google’s free e-mail service, which recently added IMAP support. And because Gmail can pull messages from most existing e-mail accounts, it’s a cinch to route everything to one inbox.
