Transfer emails to google apps

I have started the big task of using Google apps for my email accounts. I have managed to get Google apps email accounts working fine with Mail.app. Now I tried "Google Email Uploader" to store all older emails on each Google account. But unfortunately I see that Google don't treat the threads (sent/received) emails the same, and there is some confusion between the two.

Also after I upload the emails, Mail.app is downloading the emails and there is a mess in Mail.app too. 😟

I'm planing to change from POP to IMAP when I manage (if I manage) to solve the upload issues. So if anyone have been through this procedure and have some advice to give it would be much appreciated.

So I got it working and uploading the emails to Google apps mail. A bit confusing as Google mail has "Sent Mails" and "Sent Messages" but it works. I can now receive and send emails from Mail.app through Google apps mail.

The last struggle I have is that the sent messages won't show up in the normal "Sent" part of Mail.app. I have been playing around with the settings in Mail.app but I don't get it to work. iCloud/MobileMe IMAP is working fine with the Sent mail.

Any suggestions or does anybody have the same problem?
