Mail import (Apple) taking too long (for <1000 emails?)

Ok, so I followed these instructions (Archiving Gmail in Apple Mail Slow and Buggy) but I’m still seeing the circle (it has been about 10 minutes now…since I clicked on one of the folders to import it).

I’ll keep looking. Wow…it just finished while I was writing this post. I’ll see if the next folder takes just as long.
Thanks, J
