Subject: Re: Is there any way to download all email archive of linux kernel, and then import to Gmail for search?

Thank you for your help, guys!

I think it will be an viable method to achieve my goal in the following way:
1. Export part of or all (maybe Gmail cannot hold all) of the archive
mail from Gmane to a local mbox file.
2. Upload the mbox file to Gmail by Gmail Loader.

I will try this way and tell you the result.

I think it will be very nice if Google is willing to use its Gmail
technology to archive mail lists. Anyway, Gmail is the best Web Mail
(functionality, user experience) that I have ever used.
