Migrate your Outlook email to your Gmail account

Screengrab_2 Although most of us still use an offline client to access our email, one key reason for this is that we often have multiple accounts and archived email, contact information and more. If you've not heard from someone for a while, quickly search for their last email and drop them a quick note. It's all very easy to do this from within your existing email client. However, now Gmail offers over 5GB worth of storage for hosting your email, there's no reason why you couldn't migrate some of your Outlook-based email across to your online account.

To do this, you'll need to make sure you strip away some of the largest email. You could temporarily store these in a separate folder (away from your inbox) so they are not copied across. Turn on IMAP support within Gmail and then follow these instructions.
