Switching to Gmail
Import email and contacts Whether you're switching to Gmail from another email provider like Yahoo!, Hotmail, or AOL, or just transferring to a different Gmail account, you can import the emails and contacts from your old account into your new Gmail account. Import mail To transfer the messages in your old account to Gmail, you can use the Mail Fetcher feature. Mail Fetcher creates a connection between your two accounts so that existing messages are imported and new messages sent to your old account are delivered to Gmail. Follow these steps to import mail into Gmail. Additional options: •If you only want to import existing messages, you can disable Mail Fetcher after the initial import. •If you only want to import new messages, you can use auto-forwarding instead of Mail Fetcher. Note: To use Mail Fetcher, your other email provider must support POP3 access and you will likely need to enable it in your account. The same is true for auto-forwarding. Gmail supports both POP3 and auto-forwarding. Import contacts To transfer contacts to Gmail, you will first need to export your contacts from your old account and then import the contacts file into Gmail. Step 1: Export contacts from your old account Follow the instructions to export contacts from Gmail or export contacts from other email providers. Step 2: Import contacts into Gmail Once you have a contacts file saved, you are ready to import contacts into Gmail.
