How To Migrate Protonmail to Gmail Account

Ryancooper
To manually Migrate ProtonMail to a Gmail account, you’ll first need to enable ProtonMail Bridge, which allows access to ProtonMail via IMAP. Once installed, configure your ProtonMail account in the Bridge app. Afterward, add ProtonMail to an email client like Outlook or Thunderbird using the Bridge settings. From there, you can manually export and import emails to your Gmail account by dragging and dropping folders. This process can be time-consuming and error-prone, especially for large mailboxes or if you're unfamiliar with IMAP configuration. It may also lead to incomplete transfers, broken email threads, and lost attachments.

Alternatively, using a tool like Migrate Cloud Data IMAP Mail Backup Tool simplifies the process. It automates the entire migration by connecting both ProtonMail and Gmail via IMAP, ensuring a smooth and accurate transfer of all emails, attachments, and folders. This method saves time, eliminates the need for technical configurations, and reduces the risk of data loss or corruption.
