no need for gmail if he has a machine that can run an imap server 
(dovecot, courier, ...), as this would be faster.

and yes, if the mailbox is large, that'll take a loooooong time. I don't 
know which outlook* variants can copy multiple folders at once. Last 
time I had to do this, I needed to copy folders one at a time and when I 
reached the last folder, I left the machine for one day... (that was 
with some outlook 200?).
