Import Old Emails and Contacts From Other Accounts to Gmail
Import old emails and contacts from other email accounts that you own.
A few notes:
Open Gmail https://gmail.com and click the Settings gear icon in the top right.
Select See all settings.
Select Accounts and Import.
If some settings here are disabled for you on the admin level, you see this as Accounts.
To the right of Check mail from other accounts: click the link Add a mail account.
Type the email address you want to transfer emails from and click Next >>
Username: retype the email address of the mailbox from which you are importing.
Password: enter the password for that mailbox.
POP server: enter the POP server. For Gmail / Google Workspace, it’s pop.gmail.com with port 995.
Leave a copy of retrieved message on the server: it’s best to check this box. Otherwise, once you import emails, you will remove them from the original mailbox.
Always use SSL when retrieving mail: check this box.
Label incoming messages: this is optional. It makes all the imported emails go to a folder (label) you select in your Gmail.
Archive incoming messages: after importing emails, remove them from the Inbox. They will still be accessible by searching or in other labels.
After this step, Gmail may also ask if you want to add the email address as a sending address.
Import old emails and contacts from other email accounts that you own.
Import old emails and automatically continue importing new emails from other email accounts.
