Subject: Help needed in migrating mails from one GMail account to another Gmail Account...

Hi,

I have had three Gmail ID for quite some time now and now I would like close
one of them down, the main issue being one I wish to close down has been my
primary ID for quite some time and I want to migrate all the mails from that
account to the secondary account.

Lets call the accounts in question here as *user.acct.1* and *user.acct.2*,
I also have a yahoo ID where POP3 has been activated, lets call this *
user_acct*. I didn't want to use the standard forward feature coupled with
ID spoofing so as to make the secondary ID act as a primary one, as that
would mean the maintenance of the other account.

I decided that once the fetcher feature is activated on my secondary ID, I
would POP all the mails from *user.acct.1* to *user.acct.2*. Then I learnt
that the POP feature is applicable only for non GMail accounts.

As this was not an option any more, I decided that I will POP my *
user.acct.1* to *user_acct* and then POP *user_acct *to *user.acct.2* and
thus effectively fetching all the mails from *user.acct.1* to *user.acct.2*.

I looked at the section "*Configuring other mail clients" *to configure my
yahoo account top fetch the mail from *user.acct.1* ID.

The config is as follows:
   *Incoming Mail (POP3) Server - requires SSL:*
 pop.gmail.com
*Use SSL*: Yes
*Port*: 995
 *Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS:*
 smtp.gmail.com (use authentication)
*Use Authentication*: Yes
*Use STARTTLS *: Yes (some clients call this SSL)
*Port*: 465 or 587
 *Account Name: *
 your Gmail username (including @gmail.com)
 *Email Address: *
 your full Gmail email address (usern...@gmail.com)
 *Password: *
 your Gmail password

I started configuring *user.name.1* account in yahoo and it was then I
discovered, to my immense disappointment, that yahoo mail fetcher doesn't
offer authentication using SSL. At least the version of yahoo mail that I
had (its a yahoo.co.in version), It offers free POP and forwarding, along
with other standard yahoo mail (free) features.

Only other option that I have now (rather I know of) is to download mails
from *user.acct.1* using Outlook or TB and set it up to forward the mails to
*user.acct.2*. Considering the fact that I use a 64K connection at home I
dare not try that as I have over 500MB mails in my primary ID and I think it
will take too much time.

I tried looking at other webmail services that has SSL feature for their
mail fetcher so that I can have an online process, that just needs to be
initiated by me (as the setup process) and the servers would take care of
the rest after I have logged of from the net. I am afraid the best I could
find was inbox.com service which offered SPA.

Could anyone please suggest a process by which I can do the same, of course,
without having to subscribe to some paid service? Is there any other process
that I can look at for doing the above said?

Any help would really be appreciated,
Many Thanks,
Vijay

I'm aware of applications you can use, but that would require using your
home connection.  I'm not aware of any online service that could do what
you'd like.

I've heard that if you use pop.googlemail.com instead of the pop.gmail.com,
you can get GMail to pop from GMail... try that.

Will this work for Google Apps for your Domain accounts?  I would
like to start using my domain account but I have been using my
@gmail.com address for over 4 years now and I have a LOT of email I
would like to move to my @domain.com account.

Unfortunately, that will not work for Google Apps.  Google Apps email
addresses do not have the mail fetcher feature.  However, you could try
opening a new GMail account, tell it to forward all incoming mail to your
domain account, while also having it POP your old emails.  I'm not sure if
that will work, but it's worth a try :)
