Transfer Emails From Other Email Providers to Google Workspace
Move email messages from other email providers to Google Workspace using IMAP.
Go to the Admin console https://admin.google.com and click Data migration.
Click SET DATA MIGRATION UP.
Click Select a Migration Source and pick Gmail, then click the blue START button at the bottom.
Next, adjust your migration preferences.
First, set the Migration Start Date. This feature transfers only emails starting from the date you select.
Below, you can choose whether or not to transfer deleted emails, spam or exclude some folders from the transfer.
Click SELECT USERS.
Click Add user.
Type the full @gmail.com email address under Source Email.
Click AUTHORIZE below.
A new tab opens. Sign in with the @gmail.com account to authorize the migration. First, type your email and click Next.
Type your password and click Next.
Click Allow to authorize the data migration service to copy over emails to Google Workspace.
Copy this code by clicking the icon to the right of it.
Back on the Google Workspace migration page, paste the copied code under Authorization Code. Next, type the Google Workspace email you want to migrate messages to and click START.
That’s it, now you’ll see that the migration is Initializing under the Status column.
You can check the box to the left of the migration info to pause the migration, resume it or stop it completely. Stopping the migration doesn’t remove any emails that have already been migrated.
The Status column will update when you refresh the page, starting with Estimating the number of items in the source mailbox. It may take some time, especially if there are lots of messages.
When it finishes, the Status will change to Complete.
You can hover over it to see the number of migrated and failed emails. However, it won’t show you which emails have not migrated and why.
Please note that it can take up to a few hours after the migration completes for the emails to become visible in the new mailbox.
You can always restart the migration from scratch to migrate over any emails that failed to migrate the first time. You won’t generate any duplicates in the Google Workspace mailbox. You can repeat the process as many times as you need to, although it rarely takes more than one go.
Click More above the migrations list and select Pause all migrations to pause all migrations at once.
Click Exit migration to stop all migrations.
Click Email reports to send a migration-related report.
