Thank you so much for the video. This solved my problem. I needed a visual explanation as I had already started migration in the past (and error occurred, at which I gave up) and forgot about it, now wondering why it deosn't have the buttons that Google says to click. Now I know I just needed to delete the old one and start a new set up. Now everything is clear and working. It's so satisfying to see the migration finally began and is at 13%. No more $6 monthly fee for email that I don't use!!!

Hi - quick question, and thanks for the video. When you migrate a user's email (user 1) to another user (user 2), how do they appear in User 2's account? Are they in a specific folder by default, or are they just mixed into the existing email by date? I have numerous legacy accounts that are not being used any more, and I'd like to retain the data without having to pay for unnecessary licenses. Google forced our migration from a free account to Workplaces this month and it has caused a lot of trouble. Essentially, I just need to know if the emails (and also docs, drive files, etc) are somehow flagged as from that old account or are segregated in some way. I don't want to just have them dumped in and all mixed up. Thanks!

If you like, you can also migrate your email history to Google Workspace with the migration tool (described in this video). Hope it helps, thanks.

Thank you Carlos! This was easy to follow and comprehensive. I do have a couple of questions. 1. I am going to be migrating from a GoDaddy MS 365 account to Workspace. Would it make sense to set the migration source as MS 365 instead of IMAP? 2. There are several email accounts that will be migrated, that have folders created on Outlook for organizational purposes. Will these migrate as the same folders to Workspace?

@itwithcarlos

Жыл бұрын

Hi David, you are asking a very good question. Before January 1st. 2023 it was possible to use the IMAP migration (having MS 365 as the source), however, Microsoft disabled the Basic Authentication and it is what the Google migration tool uses. So it is not actually possible to use the IMAP migration in your case. The other option (migration source as MS 365) sounds like the most appropriate for your case. I honestly haven't had that opportunity to test it. I believe that option should work with no issues. Another alternative is Google Workspace Migration for Microsoft Exchange (GWMME) support.google.com/a/topic/9064794 Hope it helps, thank you!

Hi, thank you for your comment. You can verify your domain with Google and create the same email accounts that you have in MS 365. Your email service will remain working on MS 365 until you change/update your domain's MX record. You should not find any issues on creating the same email addresses in both services, however, only one will be active (where the MX record is pointing to). I suggest starting the migration and then updating the MX record. The migration will continue in progress while you new email service is active in GW. Hope it helps, thank you!

Thanks for the video. I have a number of work IMAP emails hosted at another email server. I want to migrate to Gmail workspace. My question is do I have to migrate all the emails or can I just migrate 3 or 4 out of the 10 we have on the other email server. The reason I ask is that If i change the MX record it seems that it will effect all the emails i have associated with that specific domain. Thanks again for the helpful video.

Hi Maxim, you are right. You can move your emails from server to other, however, there is a new issue when the source is MS 365/Office 365. This tools use IMAP migration with Basic authentication, and MS recently disables Basic authentication starting 2023. It means that this tool won't let you move the emails from MS 365. An alternative to complete this type of migration (for one or just a few email accounts) is to use Outlook and a tool called GWSMO. Here is a video that explain how this tools works. The video does not describe the migration in details but it show you the steps to configure the account in one PC with Outlook. This will do the migration and then you can use your iPhone and you Mac. kzread.info/dash/bejne/pGVltJJ7lK2zZMo.html If you don't have Outlook and a PC, the you could use a different Google tool called GWMME.

Thank you for the video! Super helpful! Question for you…if I set up a Google workspace email which is the same as an already existing email address on godaddy, do I need to do this process you describe? There is a part of the process where Google verifies ownership of the domain and updates records (I’m guessing it’ll update MX records), does it then also see that the emails were on godaddy and migrate them? I’m guessing the answer is no but just want to check.

Hello! Thank you for posting such an informative video. My only concern is the following: I have been using an old email address with my own domain from the provider Wordpress. I want to now use that same domain to register my workspace account. If I register with workspace using my domain which is linked to my old emails, would my inbound emails be disrupted or even worse lost or would my inbound emails be disrupted for up to 72 hrs but then flow into my new workspace account? Could I migrate my old emails after this process or will I lose access to my old email accounts when I verify that I own the domain using the txt method?

Hi Roham, you can use your domain name to set up Google Workspace. Adding the TXT record won't disrupt your current email service with Wordpress. Your old email service (with Wordpress) will stop working when you change the MX record to Google. You can initiate the email migration before, during or after updating the MX record and you won't lose your email history. When you change the MX record, you will need to start accessing your emails in Google Workspace and you should not lose any email as long as you are aware of the moment the MX record is updated. Please let me know if you need any clarification. Thanks.

Hello, I have question, our company is using webmail (horde) and currently we want to move all the emails to our google workspace. The question is how is the process to move the pop3 webmail to gmail including the old emails to migrate in the gmail?

@itwithcarlos

Hi Jessie, it depends. When using pop3, the email data is on users' local computers/devices. User's data might be partially stored on the email server. POP3 only allows you to keep Inbox emails on the server (if the user setup the device to keep a copy on the server). Unfortunately it is how pop3 works. Having said that, an option to migrate users' emails is by exporting emails to a pst file (if you are using Outlook). Then you can import the pst file back to Google Workspace (by using Outlook as well). Hope it helps.

@@itwithcarlos So I guess my question is whether the MX record is needed for connecting to the the source email account. It sounds like it is not. But more importantly, I need to be able to have a fallback. Is the data sync operation idempotent? If I don't change the MX, would I be able to sync the google account multiple times without getting duplicates? Then I could simply change the MX record once I've confirmed all the data has synced properly. I need to sync email for my whole company, so I can't change the MX records until I know it's working. Should that work? In theory I would run the migrations but leave the MX record as-is, so the email works as before, but new mails would have to be synced again once we're ready to make the switch?

Thanks for your response, how do I migrate in bulk e.g 100 at a time

Since you are planning to migrate from Exchange, the GWMME tool could be more appropriate or convenient. Here is a link to information bout this tool: support.google.com/a/topic/9064794?hl=en&ref_topic=13002773 If migrating from Exchange Online, you may still find the Basic Authentication restriction.

Hello and thank you for your comment. I am afraid I am not familiar with delta syncs, but this type of migration (IMAP) does not do that. Have a nice day!

Thank you so much Carlos. Very helpful indeed! In my case, I'm moving to a new web host and to Google Workspace for mail. The domain nameservers currently point to old web host with the mailbox that I need to migrate. So I'll update nameservers back to domain registrar, and then update DNS to Google Workspace. So my question please, can I proceed with data migration as soon as DNS has been updated? Please advise.

@@itwithcarlos Thank you so much Carlos. Please are you able to clarify the following: during the migration, an alert appeared: Google identity alert 'Google detected suspicious activity and suspended the account', and the alert Status is 'Not started'. I only updated the User's first name and last name. I also suspect it is because I had not updated the MX record at the time? Weird thing is that the account is still accessible on my PC and setting it up on my phone works so could this be a false alert. Also in the alert page, I see a Delete Alert option but unsure if deleting will fix it. Or perhaps DNS is still propagating since updated DNS about 15hours ago, though MX lookup indicates propagation is complete. Grateful if you could please advise. I'm looking up possible solutions as well.

Hi again, perhaps its because mailbox was already signed up with MS365. Yes, only finding out now when consulting domain registrar since I could not remove an old SPF record. Data already migrated to GW, so Im thinking its best to remove mailbox from MS365 and continue with GW.

So far I have understood migration has to take place before updating mx dns record. Right?

Hi Raihan, no really. You could perfectly update the MX and then star the email migration. Actually in some cases it is suggested. Thanks.

Do you have to create the emails on the new server first? in our case the emails are being switched from an existing email host to google workspace, so it would be moving from the same email to the new email which is exactly the same, just managed by Google instead. if we link the domain and set up the emails I'm afraid we would lose the ability to do this? Or am I wrong?

@itwithcarlos

Hi Stephanie, you have to create the email accounts in the new server (GW) first. Adding your domain to GW and creating the email accounts in GW won't make your original email service to stop working (as long as you don't modify the MX record). When you modify the MX record is when the new email messages start flowing to the new email service (GW). I suggest to update the MX record just after initiating the migration. Your new email service will become active, users will be able to access and receive new emails in GW while the migration is running in the background. Hope it helps, thanks

Hi question, if i successfully migrated my imap webmail to google workspace, does it mean also that if someone sends me an email on my old webmail, i will also receive it on google workspace? And can i also reply to the email address using the webmail email address on google workspace?

@itwithcarlos

Hi Jan, ideally you will migrate your emails just after updating your domain's MX record. It means that all your emails will start flowing to Google Workspace. No emails should go to your old email service after updating the MX record. Please be aware that emails won't be received in both email services at the same time. Your emails will only be received on the service where the MX has the highest priority (Zero is the highest possible priority). Please feel free to reply if I didn't addressed your question properly. Thanks.

These steps can be used to migrate from one GW to another GW, however, keep in mind that it migrate only emails. The migration of contacts/calendars and files in Drive will need to be move manually. If you are changing your domain, there is a better approach/procedure which is adding the new domain as an additional domain (within your current tenant) and them make the new domain as your primary domain.

The emails should have moved/marked to their respective labels/folders. If it didn't happen, then, you may need to create filters to move them.

The problem is not the MX record, the migration will run regardless of where the MX record is pointing to. The problem that you are seeing is something different. If you are migrating from MS 365, then you can't use the IMAP migration tool that is described in the video. MS 365 does not allow you to connect with Basic authentication (used by the IMAP migration tool ) since Jan 2023. In this case, you may need to use a different migration method. If you are using Outlook, then you could try migrating using GWSMO support.google.com/a/users/answer/171710?hl=en Thank you.
