I'm sorry to hear that you're still having trouble with your email service provider. I would just like to put a couple of things in perspective:

How fast is your internet connection, and how far away are you from Polarismail's datacenter in Montreal? I can easily imagine waiting 2 hours to download & upload 10K small email messages using a typical DSL or cable connection. IMAP has a large overhead that becomes quite noticeable when the network latency (ping) is high.

Again, how large is your backup, and what were you using to upload it? 10GB with Thunderbird? Yep, that would take a couple of weeks with my crappy DSL connection, too.

I don't know which planet you're from, but last time I checked, it took only 7 months to go from March to October. If a child was conceived in March and born in October, he might be in need of an incubator. Of course, that's still too long to wait for a feature that was promised "soon", but methinks you might be exaggerating a bit!
