Email migration

Migrate your email from Gmail

Whether you’re leaving a personal Gmail account or Google Workspace, Migrabox copies all your mail to the new mailbox and keeps your labels as folders. Your Google account stays as it is.

The easiest way is the Sign in with Google button: no app password to create. It’s included in paid plans; you can also use an app password instead.

Server settings

You don’t have to type these in — we work them out from your email address. They’re here for transparency, or in case your provider uses different values.

IMAP server	Port	Security
`imap.gmail.com`	993	SSL/TLS

Username: your full email address

You’ll need an app password: outside apps can’t sign in with your normal password. It takes a minute to create in your account’s security settings.

Good to know before you start

With Sign in with Google (paid plans) you don’t need any password. If you’d rather use a password, Google only accepts an app password, which you can create only with 2-Step Verification turned on; in business Google Workspace accounts the administrator may have turned them off.

In Gmail an email can carry several labels. In the new mailbox each label becomes a folder, and the email appears in each one. We don’t copy the “All Mail” view, which would duplicate everything.

Google’s free 15 GB is shared with Drive and Photos. When we measure your mailbox we only count email, so the price reflects your mail alone.

How it works

Enter your Gmail address and password: we recognise the server and count your emails.
Tell us your new mailbox: we check we can sign in before asking for any payment.
Pay once and watch the copy live. Your Gmail mailbox stays exactly as it is.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to turn on IMAP in Gmail?

No: Google keeps it on at all times. Just sign in with Google, or create an app password from the link we show you along the way.

Will my emails stay in Gmail too?

Yes. We copy, we don’t move: nothing changes in Gmail. You can close the account once you’ve checked everything is in the new mailbox.

Can I migrate a Google Workspace account?

Yes, by signing in with your Google account or with an app password. If the administrator blocks outside apps or app passwords, ask them to allow them while the copy runs.

Ready to move your email?

We check both mailboxes before you pay. Free up to 3 GB, then from $4.99.
