Google\u2019s new PST migration tool
\nThe GAMMO tool allows you to import email, contacts and calendar items directly from an existing Outlook profile or a standalone PST file.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For the purposes of this document, I created a brand new PST file called \u201cGoogleTest.pst\u201d. Within that PST file I created two folders, one called \u201cFolderA\u201d and one called \u201cFolderB\u201d. Each folder contained around 15 emails.<\/p>\n

Start by downloading the tool from Google\u2019s site at:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/tools.google.com\/dlpage\/outlookmigration#utm_campaign=launch&utm_source=entblog-gammo-0526&utm_medium=blog<\/a><\/p>\n

This will bring you to the download screen directly:
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Click on the \u201cDownload Migration Tool\u201d button. This will automatically bring up the installer.
\nWhen the installer completes its initial download it will bring up the installer wizard.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Click Next.<\/p>\n

You will need to sign in with your\u00a0 Gmail account (username@company.com).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Click Next<\/p>\n

You will then be taken to the user profile selection screen. The drop down menu will list all the currently available Outlook Profiles set up on your computer. The last option in the list will be \u201cFrom PST File(s)\u2026\u201d
\nThis option will allow you to browse for an existing PST file on your computer.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Click Next.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

Once you have browsed to the correct PST file We will choose \u201cMigrate all Data\u201d
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Click Next.<\/p>\n

On the Migration settings screen, choose the options to import the items you want.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Click Next<\/p>\n

The migration will begin. The \u201cMigration in Progress\u201d screen will show the current status of the migration.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When the migration has completed, click \u201cClose\u201d to bring up the \u201cMigration Completed\u201d dialog box.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Click OK.<\/p>\n

The installer has now completed. GAMMO is fully installed on your PC and may now be run again in the future from the Start menu.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Click Close to exit the installer tool and return to your desktop.<\/p>\n

After completion, the GAMMO tool created two new labels in Gmail. The labels were named to correspond to the two folders that were created in the PST file:<\/p>\n

GoogleTest.pst\/FolderA
\nGoogleTest.pst\/FolderB<\/p>\n

These two labels had the correct items. They did not have any other labels attached to them, including \u201cinbox\u201d (ie. They were considered to be \u201carchived\u201d from the start).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
