Google Apps

I have a lot of emails in outlook 2007 and I'm trying to migrate to google apps, now I dont want to loose any of these emails and want to transfer them to the google apps account, I think that im using POP at the moment.

How do I get them from outlook to gmail please?

Is it the pop fetcher once the account is set up? But how will it work if its using the same domain ?

To make things even more fun the mail is not on the server its just on the computer :s

The way i managed it was to disable the POP account to GMail and set it up as IMAP instead, then from within Outlook simply drag & drop the contents of Outlook's Inbox folder to the IMAP Inbox folder - mail should then be uploaded to GMail. Obviously confirm using GMail's webmail.
If you want to continue using Outlook then keep GMail setup as IMAP rather than POP.

Seconded. Add your gmail account info as a new IMAP account in Outlook, and drag them over.
