To move and transfer from Hotmail to Gmail, firstly, configure and set up your Hotmail e-mail account on one of the supported mail client mentioned above. Here’s a guide to add Hotmail to Outlook 2007.

Next, configure and add Gmail mail account to the SAME mail client you used to setup Hotmail account by using IMAP access. That means if you’re using Outlook 2007, configure both Gmail and Hotmail account in Outlook 2007, with Gmail account type as IMAP, and Hotmail account type as HTTP. Before setting up, ensure that IMAP has been enabled in Gmail. To enable and turn on IMAP in Gmail, go to “Settings”, then click on “Forwarding and POP/IMAP” tab. Select “Enable IMAP” and then click on “Save Changes”. Gmail has a comprehensive guide on how to configure various email client to access Gmail via IMAP.

Once both accounts have been added, inside the mail client there should be 2 mail items or email folders to represent these two e-mail accounts.

Move Hotmail to/from Gmail in Outlook

Expand the folder tree to reveal Inbox mailboxes for both accounts. Now, simply select all messages in Inbox of Hotmail account and drag and drop or cut and paste them into Inbox of Gmail account folder. All e-mails in Hotmail will be moved and transfered over to Gmail.

Notes:

  1. If you have many folders in Hotmail to organize and categorize your emails, you need to go into each and every folders to move across the messages inside the folders to Gmail.
  2. If you still want to retain and keep copy of emails in Hotmail, make sure you use copy the emails, not move.
  3. You can put transfered emails into a folder under Gmail root folder. It only means that the emails will skip the Gmail Inbox and automatically applied with a label by the name of the folder. If you want to apply label and also want the emails to show up in Inbox, you need to copy twice - to Inbox, and to folder with the label name. See how to apply multiple labels to Gmail via IMAP.
  4. The process to download emails from Hotmail and then upload and import them into Gmail is slow and takes a long time, especially when the amount of mails is a lot. So be patience.
  5. If the transferring and moving is terminated halfway, simply select the remaining emails in Hotmail and move it to Gmail again to continue to transfer process. But ensure that both e-mail accounts is synchronized between local folders and the remote servers.
  6. The trick works also if you want to move from Gmail to Hotmail, or want to copy all mails from Hotmail to local folders.

Once all mails is moved, you can now start using Gmail with all your existing emails in Hotmail imported, with valid and correct timestamps, original sender name, and without worry on privacy or security issue as transferring process does not involve third party service.

Tip: With free POP3 support, Gmail can now download and transfer all mail messages from Hotmail automatically. If your Hotmail account hasn’t have POP3 enabled, use the hack to turn on POP3 access to Hotmail instantly.

    you can have incoming hotmail email redirected to gmail. Gmail explains it here:

    Keeping your old email address?

    Add it to Gmail and use it with your new account.

    Gmail lets you add your other email addresses to your account so you can manage mail from one place. Use Gmail to send messages from another one of your email addresses. Here’s how:

    * Log in to your Gmail account at mail.google.com.
    * Click ‘Settings’ at the top of any Gmail page.
    * Open the ‘Accounts’ tab, and click ‘Add another email address.’
    * Enter your other email address in the text box, and click ‘Next Step.’
    * Click ‘Send Verification.’ An email will be sent to your old account to verify that you entered the correct email address.
    * Follow the instructions in the verification email, and start using your Gmail account to manage all of your email addresses!

    Danny’s method of using the linked passport accounts didn’t work for me. I still get the message that hotmail cannot forward to the gmail.com domain.

    If you want an easy way to be able to receive your hotmail messages on your iphone etc.. all you need to do is to create a rule in your email client to send all new incoming emails to a GMail, AOl etc account. Leave the client open on your desktop at all times. Then add that account you are forwarding to your mobile device.

    In GMail it allows you to send and reply to email using any email address that you would like.

    There is also another way to enable a hotmail account to forward amails to a gmail account.

    By default it is not possible to forward emails from hotmail accounts to non Microsoft associated email clients, such as gmail. However, there is a way to get around this.

    For example, if you would like to have emails forwarded from abc@hotmail.com to xyz@gmail.comdo as follows:

    1. Register xyz@gmail.com as a Microsoft Passport Account by going to the this cite - xyz@gmail.com as a Microsoft Passport Account by going to the this cite - https://accountservices.passport.net/ppnetworkhome.srf?vv=600&lc=1033

    2. Make sure that the abc@hotmail.com account is already registered as a Microsoft Passport Account, which it should be.

    3. Log into the newly created xyz@gmail.com Microsoft Passport Account, and link the two accounts to each other - on the scroll down menu above the ?Sign Out? button, click on ?Link Accounts?, and link the abc@hotmail account to the xyz@gmail Microsoft Passport Account

    4. Sign on to the abc@hotmail.com account, which should now be linked to the xyz@gmail account, by clicking on it in the scroll down menu above the ?Sign Out? button, go to options, and set up the account to forward to xyz@gmail.com. This is a setting in the options menu.

    Even though the hotmail account is not supposed to forward to non Microsoft related clients, it will now forward to the gmail account, becaue their Microsoft Passports are now linked to each other.

    This worked for me, and I hope it works for anyone else who tries it.

    Note, that nowhere during this whole process is in necessary to log on to the gmail account on the gmail domain, only log on to the newly created Microsoft Passport Account as xyz@gmail.com

    Also note, that the emails will no longer be stored in the hotmail account. Once forwarded to the gmail account, they will be deleted from the hotmail account.

    Hope that helps!

    I wanted to migrate all of my old emails from my clumsy hotmail account to my new Gmail/Google Apps account and wasn’t sure how to do it once I’d established that Outlook Express doesn’t run on Vista, before reading your article.

    I’d already tried Mozilla Thunderbird using their webmail plugins, however, that still didn’t download the folder structure for Hotmail even though via IMAP it did for Gmail.

    As you wrote, the best answer is to use a free MS product such as the new Windows Live Mail (beta), which was indeed about to view hotmail’s folders via http and gmail’s (actually tags, but they work like folders) via imap at the same time, allowing for direct drag and drop functionality.

    It still to nearly a full day to synchronise though,possibly due to my 12,000+ emails!

    Thanks again, I may write a blog post covering this process and your article in due course.

    Hi! I used this procedure and I am not successful in it.
    Outlook 2003 is not Hotmail Live compatible. It is necessary to install a Microsoft addon called Microsoft Office Outlook Connector.
    Can anyone help me with this??

    This worked great for me :) Thank you for the great walk through. At first I tried using POP because Windows Live suggested that I do, but of course it didn’t work. After that I just used the “Manual server configuration” and configured it per Gmail’s instructions and *blamo*, it worked like a charm.

    Just a little note, if you have folders in your hotmail and aren’t seeing folders in your GMail, it’s because GMail doesn’t use folders, they use labels.

    Thanks again for the great article,

    [...] My digital life kwam met een andere oplossing, die er wat ingewikkeld uitziet, maar wel werkt. Door een (tijdelijk) account aan te maken in Outlook, krijg je een map met al je Hotmail erin. En als je dan in Gmail de IMAP enabled (en Gmail beschrijft precies hoe je dat moet doen) krijg je ook een Gmail mapje in je Outlook. Daarna kopieer je je Hotmail mapje in je Gmail folder en klaar is kees: als je verbinding legt met je Gmail account staan ze er ineens in . [...]

    Thank you! It works great and indeed: new email to my hotmail account have to be forwarded one by one, but i hardly use that anymore.
    I am grateful for my hotmail archive in gmail, and glad that i did not have to use a third party!

    Kind of crappy, new emails will still be coming to the Hotmail account and will have to do this trick everytime.

    It is just good if you want to terminate your hotmail account.

    ?How about someone develops a freeware program that would download all hotmail messages from HTTP format and become an IMAP server, like an “IMAP Hotmail API” kind of thing ?

    What program of the mentioned does do something like that, did not show clear enough to me.
