How Do I Solve Problems Related to Importing Mail?

We may simply send and receive letters using this method. We may also use this to transfer mail from one account to another. However, in the vast majority of cases, customers are unable to import mail (messages) from their old Gmail account to their new Gmail account. It appears that there are some technical issues inside Gmail that are preventing users from resolving their importing mail issues.

Solutions to the Mail Importing Problem in Gmail

Make sure that if you have an issue with importing mail, or if your emails are erased or missing when importing, you attempt the simple solutions listed below.

• First and foremost, double-check that the account into which you’ll be importing the emails is still operational.
• Please double-check that your password and username are valid.
• If this isn’t the case, remove and re-add the email address from which you’re importing.

To do so, take these steps:

• To begin, log in to your Gmail account and go to the settings area.
• Once you’ve accessed the settings area, you’ll see the account and import or account tab options.
• Now, under the “check mail from other account areas,” remove the email address you’re importing.

If you import your emails from another email service, such as yahoo or outlook, you will be able to resolve these concerns.

• The name of the POP server that you specified in Gmail is the same as the name of any other email.
• Make sure you’re using port 995 or 110.

If you’re having trouble importing mail from another Gmail account, have a look here.

• You must first verify your POP settings. To do so, log into your email account and click on the settings area.
• Open the “Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab” after accessing the settings section.
• Now check the “POP is enabled” box under the POP download section.

And Then There’s the Account from Which You Import:

• Open your Gmail account and go to the settings tab.
• After that, go to the Check mail from other accounts area and choose the account you want to import. Check your username, which should be your entire email address, proper password, and POP server, which should be pop.gmail.com. Your port should be 995, and you must utilize an SSL secure connection when receiving mail.

Unable to Find Emails After Import

Follow the procedures below if some of your emails are missing after you’ve imported them. Check to verify if the problem has been resolved after completing each step.

1. Search a Discussion Thread For Messages.

All answers to an email are collected in a single discussion thread in Gmail. To see all of the emails in a thread, go to:

• Gmail should now be open.
• Send yourself an email.
• Click the Expand All Expand All Icon in the upper right corner. The whole email is displayed.

2..Make Sure Your Email isn’t Too Big.

Emails that are 150 MB or more, including attachments, cannot be imported into Gmail.

Here’s how to look for emails by size in Gmail

• Gmail should now be open.
• In the search field, type:
• Enter size: followed by the size in bytes to search for emails by size. 
• Enter greater: followed by the size in bytes to find emails that are larger than a specified size. 
• Enter smaller: followed by the size in bytes to find emails that are less than a specified size. 

To determine the size of an email from another provider, such as Outlook or Yahoo, contact that company’s customer service.

1. Examine Your Account’s Options.

• Open Gmail on your PC.
• Click Settings Settings in the upper right corner, then See all settings.
• Select “Accounts and Import” from the drop-down menu.
• Check to see if your import displays in the “Import mail and contacts” area.
• If your import displays in the “Importing mail and contacts” section but no messages arrive, check to determine if your former account supports POP. If this is the case, your old email client may have erased messages before they were transferred to Gmail.
• Go to the next section if your import does not appear in “Import mail and contacts.”

2. Inspect The Import For Any Issues.

• Open Gmail on your PC.
• Click Options in the upper right corner, then See all settings, then Accounts and Import.
• Look for the area under “Check mail from other accounts.” Click Edit info if your import shows there.
• Check to see if the “Leave a copy of retrieved messages on the server” option was ticked.
• If this option is ticked, the emails from the former account may have been erased before the import began.
• The emails aren’t in your old account if the box isn’t ticked. Emails from your former account may have been erased before the import began.
