Recently I have been moving several clients off of private IMAP servers onto Google Apps, and played with a lot of different migration techniques including POP sucking, email program drag and drop, and the command line.

Great solution, read on for code and links.
It’s always a great opportunity to hear open, unscripted talk from big leaders, and today Mark Zuckerberg gave a tech forum talk at BYU that I attended. There were many interesting tidbits on topics ranging from entrepreneurism to education and technology. I took notes on the session, and also included a link to watch the full session.
