Work around for: Network error occured, disconnected Trying to reconnect (1) Reconnected!

Version: 2009-02-20

Migrating from gmail to google apps:
I backed up from gmail, restored to apps.
Worked for a few minutes (maybe 5mb) before giving lots of:

Network error occurred, disconnected Trying to reconnect (1) Reconnected!

and eventually died with a message 'web log in required' or similar. I tried entering the capture words from another fix to this problem. Didn't work for me.

Today, I tried backing up from my apps account *over* my backup from my gmail (not many emails in my apps, .eml files from my gmail backup were left alone). Then, I tried restoring to apps.

So far, so good, over 100mb now restored with no error messages

HTH,
Steve
