I'm in the process of migrating from Gmail to Outlook.com, following the steps described in this tutorial. The last step is to import the old emails from Gmail to Outlook.com, using TrueSwitch. Unfortunately, I realized that TrueSwitch has been shutdown since the tutorial was published.
Is there a good alternative to TrueSwitch?
I've seen YippieMove, which is not free; I'm willing to pay if it's worth the price, but I have no idea how good it is.
If there is no good online solution, is there a PC-based tool I could use?

A simple solution would be setup imapsync: We use it here for big migrations, assuming you are migrating from gmail I can bet you have a huge amount of data.
Here is a tutorial of how to use it: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-migrate-mailboxes-between-imap-servers-with-imapsync
Hm seems you cannot use it in outloo.
According to here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090709000633AAJXg6o you can Go into Settings, then into POP/Mail forwarding and (assuming you're using POP) click the 'Enable POP for all mail (even mail that's already been downloaded)' button then hit 'Send/Receive' in Outlook. it will download every message ever received in your Gmail account.
