IMAP TO GOOGLE WORKSPACE

IMAP email to Google Workspace migration

If your business email runs on an IMAP host such as GoDaddy, a cPanel server, or Zoho, we can move it into Gmail for Google Workspace with every folder and message intact. Most IMAP moves are email only, so they are often the fastest migrations we run.

Scope

What moves

All IMAP folders

Inbox, sent, drafts, and custom folders, mapped to Gmail labels.

Message history

Every message the server holds, with dates and attachments.

Planning

What to plan for

Calendars and contacts

IMAP only covers mail. Calendars and contacts are exported from the host, when it allows, and imported separately.

Passwords

IMAP migration needs mailbox credentials or an app password per user. We collect them securely and never by email.

DNS ownership

You need access to your domain's DNS to switch MX records. If your host also manages DNS, we plan that change too.

Process

How the migration runs

The same five documented steps as every migration we run, adjusted to your platform and data.

Questions about IMAP email migrations

Can we migrate GoDaddy email to Google Workspace?

Yes. GoDaddy email migrates over IMAP. We move the mail, then update MX records so new mail lands in Gmail.

Is there a free option for IMAP migration?

Yes. Our Free plan includes a self-service email migration tool with training resources. Managed migration is available if you want us to run it.
