MacOS – Export Outlook Emails (Mac) to Gmail

gmailimportmacosms office

I'm looking to export emails from Outlook and Entourage from Macs, and import them into Gmail (Google Apps).

Any suggestions? Found really simple solutions for Mac Mail and Outlook for Windows, but nothing for Outlook on a Mac.

Alternatively, is there any way to export Outlook emails (Mac) to either Mac Mail or Outlook for Windows? Then, I could upload to Gmail from there (risk loosing email quality, attachments, etc.)

Best Answer

It depends on the setup you already have, but I think this should work.

  • In your mail client (Entourage/ Outlook) setup the IMAP access to your Gmail account.
  • Setup the folders for sent and trash.
  • Move all mails from your other inboxes to your Gmail inbox:
    Select all folders by clicking the top one under the account to be moved, and then Shift-click the bottom one. After all the folders are selected, drag and then drop them onto your Gmail account in the sidebar. (If there are many folders you may want to consider testing a couple first, before moving all of them).

If the account is large, it will take awhile to upload all the email.
