I'm reaching out to seek advice on transferring my emails from my Gmail account to my Office 365 account. Due to organizational changes, I need to migrate my significant amount of important emails, contacts, and attachments accumulated over several years from Gmail to Office 365. I've read about various methods, such as using the Office 365 Import Service or third-party migration tools, but I'm unsure which is the most effective and secure. Has anyone here successfully completed this migration? If so, could you share the steps or tools you used, along with any specific configurations or settings to ensure no data loss? Your insights and experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Import Gmail data to the Office 365 account using Office 365 import service. Here are the steps to follow:

Prepare Your Gmail Account:
- Ensure that IMAP access is enabled in your Gmail account.
- Create an app-specific password if you have two-step verification enabled.
Prepare Your Office 365 Account:
- Log in to your Office 365 admin center.
- Go to the Exchange admin center, then to "Recipients" > "Migration".
Create a Migration Endpoint:
- Select "Migration" and then "More..." > "Migration endpoints".
- Click "New +" and choose "IMAP".
- Enter your Gmail IMAP server settings (imap.gmail.com, port 993, SSL enabled).
Create a Migration Batch:

- Select "IMAP migration" and create a CSV file with Gmail account details.
- Upload the CSV file and follow the wizard to start the migration.

Several third-party tools can simplify the process of migrating Gmail data to Office 365. I would like to suggest Kernel G Suite to Office 365 migration tool. This tool offers user-friendly interfaces and additional features to manage the migration process more efficiently.

Here are some steps to manually migrate your Gmail data to an Office 365 account.

Step 1: Export Gmail Data to PST File:

Configure your Gmail account in Outlook.
Once the data is synced, use the Outlook Export feature to export your Gmail data to a PST file.

Step 2: Import PST File to Office 365:

Use the Office 365 Import Service or Outlook to import the PST file to your Office 365 account.

I hope you find this helpful.

Are you migrating from Google Workspace (formerly G Suite)?

If so, you can use the data migration service.

Set Up the Data Migration Service:
→ Log in to the Google Admin console.
→ Go to "Data migration" and set up a new migration.
Migrate Data to Office 365:
→ Choose "Email" and select the migration source as Gmail.
→ Follow the prompts to enter Office 365 credentials and start the migration.

By using this method, you can successfully import Gmail data into an Office 365 account.
