This process will only transer mail in your Inbox but not the SentMail or ChatMail.

That was very useful. Worked like a charm, only con was the inability to copy drafts. Thank you for that very efficient tutorial!

@Kev1 Labels and read/starred status will not get transferred. You might want to look into Yippiemove.com for that. It’s not free, but it’s only a few bucks and will save you a lot of time.

I successfully transferred my email to another computer, but in doing so, it deleted access to gmail at my main computer. What do I do now? It opens with a window asking for email address and password, but doesn’t accept either. Help.

When transferring emails using this method, can the labels be transferred as well?

Or will all the emails be unlabelled after being tranferred to the new gmail account?

Very sad that this doesn’t work from iPhone (accessing gmail via safari browser, then choose Desktop version vs Mobi version of gmail to access Settings).

As others have stated, steps/paragraphs 2-3-4 do not exist on the Desktop version of my gmail account (via safari) as seen from iPhone. The only option available is to add an email address to your new gmail, but not the full old gmail account (ie, there are no windows in which to type “pop.gmail.com”, etc.). It does let you type in a name, the email addy you want to add (and a new reply-to addy), and lastly there is a window for the verification code.

I was sooo hoping to save having to redo all the labels/folders in the new gmail addy AND from having to forward all the emails individually.

After I transfer emails from the old Gmail account to the new one, in the way described, two questions: (1)Will all emails transferred to the new account remain in my old account as well, and (2) from then on, will every email addressed to my old account be transferred (meaning copied?)to my new account, but remain in the old account as well. In this way, I want to use each account as a backup of the other one.

Will it import all my mail from my old gmail account with attachments creating and putting them in the folders that the old account had or does all the email from the old account get put just in to the Inbox on the newer account?

Thanks

@shaaani: yes
@Jonathan: imported mail retains the original date
