Are you switching to a new Gmail account but worried about losing your valuable email data? Fear not! Gmail provides seamless methods to transfer your email data from one account to another. Whether you’re migrating for personal or professional reasons, follow these simple steps to ensure a smooth transition without losing any important emails or contacts.

Prepare Your Source and Destination Accounts

Before you begin the transfer process, ensure that you have access to both the source (current) and destination (new) Gmail accounts. Log in to both accounts to make sure they are active and ready for the data transfer. In your source Gmail Switzerland email list account, go to “Settings” by clicking on the gear icon in the top-right corner. Then navigate to the “Forwarding and POP/IMAP” tab. Enable IMAP if it’s not already enabled. This will allow you to access your emails from another account.

Add the Destination Account

In your source Gmail account, compose a new email. In the “To” field, enter your destination Gmail address. Attach any emails you want to transfer to this email and send it. This will essentially send your selected emails from the source account to the destination account. In your destination Gmail account, go to “Settings” and then to the “Accounts and Import” tab. Under “Check mail from other accounts,” click on “Add a mail account.” Follow the prompts to enter your source account’s email address and password. Choose to import emails using POP3.

Select Import Options

When prompted, choose the import options that suit your needs. You can choose to keep a copy of imported emails in the source BLB Directory account, label imported emails for easy identification, and even set up automatic email forwarding from the source account to the destination account.

Start Importing

After configuring the import options, Gmail will begin importing your selected emails from the source account. The time it takes depends on the amount of data being transferred. Once the import process is complete, verify that all your important emails have been successfully transferred to the new Gmail account. Organize them into folders or labels for easy access.
