I'm looking to migrate from an IMAP email service to our new Workspace for Nonprofits. I've used the migration tool and that seems to work to properly migrate the inbox and inbox contents. The specific account I'm migrating from has a set of folders (a folder with subfolders in one case). The migration tool seems to have created the folder structure but the target folders are empty. Is this the expected behavior? If so, is there a way to migrate folder contents? If not, is there some trick?

I did set the range to include the oldest message. I finally gave up on the migration through Workspace and went the very long way around by

1. Installing Thunderbird on my Mac
2. Installing an Import/Export extension
3. Manually exporting each folder from my source to an mbox file
4. Manually importing each folder to my Thunderbird client
5. Selecting each message in the imported folder (in groups) and moving them into the proper target folder
Some long time later, I was done with all the email migrated.
