Email Migration

A: Yes. With the number of possible email services to choose from, it would take a book to list all the Mailbox Migration methodologies involved for each provider. The best bet is to contact your IT support or your Managed IT Services provider to perform the task. If you have no IT service, it’s easy enough to Google ‘IT Support Los Angeles’ to see who’s out there. Other than that, search your new email account for how to import your data.

A: Migrating your existing email into a G Suite email system, or the new Google Workspace is not difficult. However, if you have some form of IT support working for you, it would be best to let them do it. Any form of IT services can easily perform this task. Note that migrating data from a Personal Gmail account to a Business Gmail is not generally successful because of the change in address schemes. You may be able to transfer some data through the tedious process of downloading and re-uploading. For business email migration you can simply follow these steps:

1. Log into the Gmail Business account to which you want to migrate the data.
2. Click the Settings cog and click Settings.
3. Click on the Accounts and Import tab.
4. Click ‘Import Mail and Contacts’.
5. Once the new window opens, enter the email address you want to migrate from and click Continue.
6. A transitory ‘terms of use’ and privacy policy window will open - hit Continue.
7. Sign into the old account, hit Continue.
8. Depending on the email service you use (Outlook, Yahoo etc.), you will need to give the migration      app permission. Follow your specific instructions and click Yes.
9. Once the app has gained access to your email, you will see an Authentication window. Close it to continue.
10. Select the information you want to import to your new account and the Import Options. Click Start Import.
11. Your migration will begin. The Finish window will open, estimating the time frame before you will be able to view your migrated messages in the new G Suite email or Google Workspace account. Click ‘OK’.
