You can migrate emails from One Gmail to another via the POP3 pull method built into every Gmail account, or use desktop server clients too drag and drop messages. However, if you are in a hurry I won’t recommend using these free manual methods as they often result in errors and broken folder structures. Instead you can skip straight to the best alternative trusted by countless Gmail users worldwide.

In case you want to learn why the manual methods are so problematic don’t worry I will share exactly how I shift my Gmail emails between two accounts. Don’t waste any time looking for a migrate old account button on the main screen of Gmail. It is there but hidden behind three layers of the settings screen, and even when you find and use it, the outcome is rarely what you require.

I have faced the same issue myself. I tried every method that is supposed to transfer your emails between two Gmail accounts, and it helped me understand the scope and limitations of each technique.

Now that I know this, I plan to share my experience so you don’t have to replicate the same trial and error that I had to go through. Read the guide, migrate once, and migrate right.

How to Migrate Emails from One Gmail Account to Another Manually?

Before going further with this method, you must have your old Gmail account configured to allow access using POP. To do this configuration of POP access, follow the steps below-

  • From your current Gmail account, tap on the Settings gear icon in the accounts toolbar. From here, tap on the See All Settings.
  • Now, from the new window screen, choose Forwarding and the POP/IMAP section.
  • Afterward, in the POP Download section, check the Enable POP for all mail options.
  • After choosing POP, when messages are accessed with the POP menu, you will get multiple different options, select any, and tap Save Changes.
⚠️ Critical Update for 2026:
Google has announced that the “Check mail from other accounts” (POP3 fetch) feature will be deprecated starting January 2026. This means the traditional manual method (explained below) is becoming obsolete soon.

See How to Transfer Emails from Gmail to Gmail Step by Step

Now, for the destination account, just log in with your new Gmail account first.

  • Step 1. Login, go to Settings >> See All Settings > Accounts and Import.
  • Step 2. Then, from this section, just select Add a mail account option.
  • Step 3. It will prompt a new dialog box. Here, enter your old Gmail address you’re transferring your emails from, and tap Next. Then, here, select Import emails from my other account (POP3) to migrate emails from one Gmail account to another.
  • Step 4. From the next wizard, just enter your user name, password, and add pop.gmail.com under POP Server and select Port number as 995. Also, check the “Always use a secure connection (SSL) when retrieving mail” option below. Or you can customize the process as per the requirement, then click Add account.
⚠️ Important Warning: This method flattens your folder structure. If you have emails organized in labels like “Invoices > 2024,” they will all arrive in your new Inbox mixed together.

Confirm that Both Gmail Accounts are Connected

Now, in this last step, you must make sure that the old Gmail account recognizes the new Gmail account. To do this, follow the steps-

  • On the next screen, select the “Yes, I want to be able to send mail as xyz@gmail.com”, tap the Next button.
  • After this, enter your name > check Treat as an alias > Next Step > and Send Verification option.
  • Now, simply close the window and move further.
  • In this step, you need to sign out of your new account to move further.
  • After successfully signing out, here, log in to your Gmail account from which you are you’re transferring emails.

Note: When you transfer Gmail emails from one account to another, it’s important to do the confirmation step.

  • Now, from the inbox, just open the email from Gmail Team with the subject Gmail Confirmation – Send Mail as xyz@gmail.com.
  • Simply copy the confirmation code, then sign out of this old account.
  • Now, log in to your new Gmail account again, where you want to access your old emails. Again, move to the Accounts and Import section and select the Verify option for the old Gmail account’s address under the Send mail as section.
  • It will ask for the verification code, paste the code, and hit the Verify button to connect both accounts together.

By following these manual steps, you can transfer your emails, but it will not fetch all the messages at once.

Use the Email Client to Drag and Drop Emails from One Gmail to Another

Only use it if you have good internet bandwidth and have used desktop email clients in the past.

  • Download and set up a free email client like Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird to act as your bridge.
  • Then, add both your source and target Gmail account into the client one by one.

One small trick that I use is that I open another instance of the client and arrange both windows side by side.

Drag and drop emails to migrate from Gmail to another Gmail

  • Then it becomes a lot easier to drag and drop emails from one Gmail account to another. I don’t have to move the cursor and use the scroll wheel at the same time.

One other suggestion is to create a separate folder in the target Gmail account and place all emails in there to avoid mixing up the emails from both accounts.

⚠️ Risk Factor: This relies entirely on your local internet speed. If the connection drops during, data corruption can occur. Moreover lack of delta sync and reporting means you are entirely on your own when it comes to troubleshooting.

Set up Auto Forwarding for Transferring All New Incoming Mail

If you wish to go manual, then I suggest you set up auto forwarding on your old Gmail so that all new messages redirect to the new account on their own.

  • Step 1: Open your Old Gmail Account.
  • Step 2: Go to Settings > Forwarding and POP/IMAP.
  • Step 3: Click Add a forwarding address.
  • Step 4: Enter your New Gmail Address.
    Adding destination Gmail forwarding address in Gmail
  • Step 5: Log in to your new account to find the Verification Code sent by Google.
  • Step 6: Enter the code in the old account and select “Forward a copy of incoming mail to…”
  • Step 7: Save Changes.

Last Words of the Article

For any email data migration, users prefer to consider safe and secure platforms. For this, Gmail is one of them for most users. But, still, migration from Gmail may be required in different situations. So, in this article, we have shared the easiest way to migrate Gmail to a ProtonMail account. Using the suggested solution, one can easily transfer bulk emails from a Gmail account to a destination Proton Mail without data modification.

Common Asked Questions & Answers

Q. In what order does ProtonMail’s built-in import feature pull my email?
A. Emails arrive in descending order of the date they came into your original Gmail account; there is no way to change this setting.

Q. How long does the migration take to complete?
A. This depends on how fast your bandwidth is and how many emails are in your source account. If it’s just a few MB of mail, it won’t take more than a few minutes. However, accounts where historical mail data goes into certain GB have to wait for a while before the migration completes.

Q. Can I keep using my account while the import is being done?
A. Yes, you can keep using both your Gmail and ProtonMail accounts while the transfer takes place. Make sure you perform a Delta run after the first instance finishes to capture all the emails that were made after you hit start.

Q. Is it possible to stop the import midway or put a filter so that only a specific set of emails from my Gmail account get to my new Proton account?
A. No, this is one of the major limits of ProtonMail’s import feature. You have no option to stop the process once it’s begun; the only thing you can do is let the import complete and then manually delete all the newly arrived emails.

Moreover, there is no option to put a date filter; you either pull everything or nothing.

So, for backup, I want to migrate Gmail to Yahoo Mail, as Yahoo is providing almost similar services. So, is there any direct solution for bulk migration on Mac OS 12.0?

Why Choose Yahoo Mail Over Gmail Platform?

Because of Google Mail features, most users manage their data only in Gmail accounts. But sometimes, there is a need to migrate their account to a different platform due to various situations. For that, you may prefer to go for secure Gmail to Yahoo migration. There are many other reasons for this migration, such as-

  1. Storage space is the major concern of every Gmail user because of the 15 GB limit for managing data. While Yahoo Mail is the leader in this feature as it provides you 1TB of storage space.
  2. Apart from this, the security objective also causes migration. There are always more cyber attacks on Gmail user accounts because of the major popularity of Gmail. So, it is better to migrate Gmail to Yahoo Mail to manage all emails and attachments together.

Accompany this with an auto email forwarding rule so that you don’t have to repeat the process for every new message that arrives in your Gmail account.

Tips to Keep in Mind for Migration

  1. Keep Mailbox Storage Limits: Since Gmail provides 15 GB of storage space for a single user account, and iCloud provides 5 GB of storage space for each user account. So, you should keep in mind how much data you can migrate from your Gmail mailbox to iCloud. If your data exceeds the limited given size, you will not be able to migrate the rest of the data.
  2. Organize the Number of Emails: Due to the space issue in iCloud, we suggest that you set a specific duration to migrate all the emails. As in this case, you can filter out emails that are important enough to migrate from Gmail to iCloud and leave the rest.
  3. Communicate with Users: The most important tip we suggest to you is to discuss with users or staff before starting the migration. In this case, all users can prepare themselves for the migration to prevent any data loss.
  4. Keep a Copy of Data before Migration: Before going for Gmail to iCloud migration, we suggest you keep a copy of the data. By doing so, you can prevent any future uncertainty or data loss in severe cases.
  5. Pre-plan the Migration: Whenever you are planning to migrate Gmail emails to an iCloud account, it is better to plan everything in advance. So, you should take care of how many users you have to migrate altogether. Or, which accounts should be migrated first, so map them accordingly. Also, identify all possible problems that may arise during the migration.
  6. Keep Email Limit during Migration: As a Gmail user can send and receive emails up to 25 MB in size, including attachments. On the other hand, the size of an incoming or outgoing email to an iCloud user is 20MB, including attachments. So, in this case, you can remove unnecessary attachments from the email to prevent failure during migration.
