How to Migrate Outlook PST to Google Workspace?

Here are the methods:

• #1: Gmail Import option
• #2: Google Workspace Migration to Microsoft Outlook
• #3: Instant Migration for Multiple Accounts

# Import Option in Gmail Settings

This method applies in the situation when you have an account configured in Outlook (IMAP or POP) and you want to migrate its emails and contacts to Google Workspace.

When you are ready to migrate your emails and contacts to an individual Google account, you only need to find the import option in Gmail settings.

1. First, login to your Google account and open the Mail page.

2. Then, click on the Gear icon from the top-right of the screen and select See all Settings option.

3. It will open the Settings window consisting of multiple tabs.

4. Go to the Accounts and Import tab.

5. Look for Import mail and contacts option and click on it.

6. Enter the account address you want to import data from and click the Continue button.

7. You will need to authenticate the account.

Note: During the process, you may have to provide your server name and port number for the account holding the data in Outlook. For major providers, Google will auto-fill these details for you. But, for a domain-specific and non-traditional email provider, you will need to fill them yourself.

8. Continue with the process until you click Start import. It will automatically load Outlook data into Google Workspace account

Once done, Google will import all emails stored in your Outlook mailbox when the import process started. It will also automatically forward email messages sent to your Outlook account to this G Suite account for the next 30 days. So make sure to update everyone about your new account or simply set permanent redirection.

# Using GWMMO tool
