Clarification: Moving FirstClass Email Folders to Gmail

Many people have asked for clarifications on how to move their FirstClass email folders to Gmail.  

If you have emails in FirstClass email folders you must move these emails back to your FirstClass Mailbox.  

Once your emails are back in your Mailbox, you can set up Gmail to Fetch (POP3) your emails.  

If you have previously set up the Fetch (POP3) method of retrieving your emails, then you will need to take an additional step to get your emails to move over.  You must mark them all as unread in order for Gmail to retrieve them. 

When the emails are received in Gmail,  you may either leave them in your inbox -- where they will be at the bottom of the list because of their dates -- or make new folders/labels in Gmail.  

If you create new folders and move your emails -- do NOT delete the emails that are in your inbox.  If you do that, it will delete the emails out of your folders, too.
