Migrating emails from Google Workspace to your WHC service involves exporting your Google mailbox using Google Takeout and then importing the resulting backup file into your cPanel email account via Webmail. This process ensures that all your emails are transferred efficiently and securely from Google to your new email server.
Step 1: Export Your Mailbox using Google Takeout
Navigate to Google Takeout
Click on Deselect all
Tick the box next to Mail
Choose whether you want to export all data or specific ones from All mail data included option
Click Next Step down at the bottom
Select Send download link via email option from the dropdown menu
Leave the options Export once (1 export) and File type & size selected by default
Select the adequate file size for your mailbox (We recommend you select the option 2GB)
Click Create Export
Step 2: Download Your Mail Backup File
Navigate to Manage your exports
Click on Download
Go to your downloads' directory on your computer
Extract the backup file (the extracted folder's name is "takeout" by default)
Navigate to the Mail folder inside the extracted folder
Locate the ".mbox" file (default file name is "All mail including Spam and Trash.mbox")
Step 3: Import Your Backup to Your WHC service
Make sure the backup file you downloaded from the previous step is less than or equal to 128MB.
