Step 01:
Setup the Email Migration
Before starting the transfer, follow these easy steps to set up your migration.
Start a New Email Migration:

2. Click on “New Migration”.
Add the Credentials for Your Gmail Account:
In the section “Existing Address”, enter the following data:
| Account Type | Gmail |
| Username | Your Gmail address (e.g. mailjerry@gmail.com) |
➡️ Next, click on “Connect with Google Account” and follow the Google instructions that appear in the login pop up. Grant access to your Gmail account so that your email data can be transferred.
Add the Credentials for Your Other Account:
In the section “New Address”, add the credentials for your other email account:
| Account Type | Your account type (select IMAP if unsure) |
| Username | Your other email address |
| Password | Your email password (or your app password if you transfer from a provider that requires app passwords) |
| Mailserver | Your mailserver address (if using IMAP) |
"My mailbox migration is complete and it is commendable that MailJerry outperformed all the migration softwares in the market including Google's own which was really pathetic.
Step 02:
Start the Migration
In just a few seconds, you will be ready to begin to migrate emails from Gmail to another account:
1. After you have entered the login details for both email accounts, click on “Check Settings”.
2. Once your settings have been verified, you will be taken to a summary page. In the summary, activate “Synchronize Emails for 10 days”.
3. Now click on “Start Your Migration”.
MailJerry will now migrate all your email data. Just wait until your migration finished.
💡 Of course, you can close the app / shut down your computer while the migration from Gmail to your new account is running. Rest assured that all your emails will safely be migrated by our cloud email migration tool.
Congratulations, that’s it!
You successfully started to transfer your emails from Gmail to another account! Sit back and relax while your emails are being transferred. 
How long will it take to transfer emails from Gmail to another account?
The time it takes to migrate your emails depends on the amount of data you wish to migrate. Small accounts can be finished within a few minutes, while larger mailboxes may take some time.
Google slows down the migration speed of your emails to your new account once a certain data limit is reached, and the migration may take several hours. However, you don’t have to worry about this. You can simply shut down the MailJerry app and even your computer, as all data is directly transferred between Gmail and your other account.
Can I use my Gmail account during the migration?
Yes! You can use your Gmail account as usual to read, write and send emails during the migration. It’s important, however, to activate the Mailbox Sync for your email migration. The mailbox sync ensures that emails received (and sent) during the migration will be added to your new account once the initial email migration is complete.
MailJerry did not migrate all emails, but shows lots of skipped messages. Why is that?
When migrating emails with custom Gmail labels to another provider (including Gmail), skipped messages can occur. But there’s not need to worry: As long as MailJerry does not show failed messages, you can rest assured that all emails were migrated.
The skipped messages are shown because of how Google handles Gmail labels, which is different from all other email providers working with folders. Due to this Gmail characteristic, MailJerry skips emails to prevent duplicates.
