Move to Gmail from Hotmail, Yahoo, AOL Mail With Migration Tool

Gmail has added a simple migration tool by which you can easily switch to Gmail from other email providers such as Yahoo Mail, Hotmail, AOL Mail and from internet email accounts with Verizon, Comcast, EarthLink etc.

Previously Gmail allowed migration from other email accounts with a “mail fetcher” tool, but they worked only with email accounts which allowed “POP forwarding”.

The new tool powered by “TrueSwitch” allows easy migration from several email account providers. You can migrate all the email messages as well as contacts with a simple tool available for all new Gmail accounts. This tool is available only on a limited basis for existing Gmail accounts but will become available for everyone in the near future.

With this simple tool, you can migrate to Gmail from Hotmail, Yahoo Mail, AOL Mail and from internet Email providers like Verizon, Comcast, EarthLink and many more.

How to Migrate to Gmail from Other Email Accounts?

Go to Settings --> “Account and Import” --> Click “Import mail and contacts” and enter your email account details, the new tool will help you transfer all your emails as well as contacts without any additional steps.

You can import contacts, import old mail and import any new mail for the next thirty days.

The “TrueSwitch” migration tool also offers similar migration procedures to Yahoo and Hotmail from various email accounts.

The migration will take up to two days depending on the amount of messages in the mail box.
