I just migrated 10 years of Gmail on Sunday. The trick is to choose wisely which labels you wish to migrate. I chose to only migrate Inbox and Sent emails, and FM (I am actually with POBox, but same thing I believe) nicely deduped my messages. You may see some odd count differences between Gmail and what ends up in FM, but I see that with any email migration. For example, I know that my Gmail account had duplicates of many messages due to combining accounts at various times. Also, in Gmail lets say you had a label for incoming email from accounts 1, 2, and 3, well POBox would normally add one email each to a folder for 1, 2, and 3, which is why you need to choose labels wisely. POBox nicely deduped them for me. One of the smoothest and fastest email migrations I have ever done, and I've done a fair number over the years.
