How to import all mails from gmail to gmail

A clever question!

Importing all emails from one Gmail account to another Gmail account is a bit tricky, but it's doable. Here are the steps:

Method 1: Using Gmail's built-in import feature

  1. Log in to the Gmail account you want to import emails from (Source account).
  2. Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner and select "See all settings."
  3. Go to the "Accounts and Import" tab.
  4. Click on "Import mail and contacts" and then "Start import."
  5. Enter the email address of the Gmail account you want to import emails to (Destination account).
  6. Click "Continue" and then "Start import."

Note: This method only imports emails from the past 7 days. If you need to import older emails, you'll need to use Method 2.

Method 2: Using Gmail's IMAP feature and a third-party tool

  1. Enable IMAP in both Gmail accounts:
    • Log in to the Source account and go to the gear icon > See all settings > Forwarding and POP/IMAP > Enable IMAP.
    • Log in to the Destination account and go to the gear icon > See all settings > Forwarding and POP/IMAP > Enable IMAP.
  2. Use a third-party tool to import emails:
    • Some popular options include:
      • Synchronize (free): A simple, web-based tool that allows you to import emails from one Gmail account to another.
      • Gmail Backup (free): A tool that allows you to backup and restore your Gmail emails, including importing emails from one account to another.
      • Mailspring (free): A desktop email client that allows you to import emails from one Gmail account to another.

Please note that these tools may have limitations, such as only importing emails from a specific date range or having a maximum number of emails that can be imported.

Method 3: Using a script or API

  1. Use a scripting language like Python or JavaScript to connect to both Gmail accounts using their APIs.
  2. Write a script that fetches emails from the Source account and imports them into the Destination account.

This method requires more technical expertise and may be more complex to set up.

Remember to always follow Gmail's terms of service and ensure that you have the necessary permissions to import emails from one account to another.
