How to Transfer Emails from One Gmail Account to Another?

Are you looking for unique solutions to move your emails from one Gmail account to another, but not finding any reliable solution for it?

Then, you have come to the right place. We will tell you the methods that are not just secure but quick as well to transfer emails from one Gmail account to another.

In general there are three different methods to move emails from one Gmail to another Gmail account. One can prompt Gmail to fetch email items or use a third-party tool to transfer emails from one Gmail account to another or move them manually using a desktop client such as Outlook. While allowing Gmail to fetch your emails for you, you are bound to lose your email labels, and while moving emails manually, these labels are preserved. Here we are discussing the first method.

A three-step process to transfer emails from one Gmail account to another is shown below in the infographic.
