Micah here (not sure why it says Beth Peter on the admin account. I gotta fix that).

Here are the links where I gleaned info on moving previous e-mails to gmail.

It does keep the same date that it was originally sent but for some reason it ends up in the Inbox the same day it is redirected from Thuderbird. I did have success with a personnal account that keep the original date sent as well as placing it in my Gmail Inbox in the relative date but I can’t figure out why it worked one time but not again. But an archive filter could be set up to archive everything redirected so it doesn’t clog the Inbox.

Using Thunderbird is time consuming but I had a lot more success with this rather than using Mbox & Maildir to Gmail Loader (GML) or gExodus – a graphical Gmail import tool.
