Migrating your Outlook email account to Google lets you access all your old emails in DoliPlus’ messaging system, which runs on Google services. This way, you can switch tools without losing your history.

Why migrate your Outlook account to Google?

When you adopt DoliPlus’ email system, your messages and contacts may still be in Outlook. Naturally, you don’t want to start from an empty inbox. The migration transfers all your messages to Google’s servers.

You benefit in several ways:

  • Preserved history: Your old emails remain accessible
  • Smooth transition: You keep working with familiar references
  • Unified messaging: Everything comes together in your DoliPlus environment

How to migrate your Outlook account to Google

Google offers two approaches depending on your situation. In both cases, the operation copies your messages to the Google account without affecting the original Outlook mailbox.

The simplest method: Gmail’s built-in import. From your destination Google account, go to Settings → See all settings → Accounts and Import, then click Import mail and contacts. Enter your Outlook/Microsoft email address and password: Gmail connects via POP3 and retrieves your old emails (and contacts).

For large volumes or business accounts: Google provides the official Google Workspace Migration for Microsoft Outlook tool (GWMMO, formerly “Google Apps Migration”), which installs on Windows and imports emails, calendar and contacts from Outlook or a PST file.

The general process remains similar:

  1. Connect the Google account that will receive the messages
  2. Specify the Outlook/Microsoft mailbox to transfer
  3. Start the transfer and let the copying happen in the background

Once migration completes, your emails appear in DoliPlus’ messaging system. You can now manage all your correspondence from a single tool. Learn more about DoliPlus webmail

After migration: Centralising your email

With your messages transferred, you configure your account directly in DoliPlus. You can then read emails, reply and organise your correspondence alongside your customers and quotes.

Migrating your Outlook account to Google is just the first step. The ultimate goal remains combining email and business management in one environment, making daily operations simpler to track.
