Importing from Gmail to Outlook? Retain All Important Emails
Important and starred emails usually have vital client conversations, project updates and approvals. But losing those during migration can be costly. We at CloudFuze offer enterprise-level Gmail to Outlook migrations that are scale-inclusive, migrating terabytes or even petabytes of data across thousands of users.
Our approach retains starred, important and priority emails along with metadata, attachments and folder hierarchies. IT admins can easily migrate Gmail to Outlook with CloudFuze to ensure compliance, continuity and zero loss of mission-critical business communications.
Challenges in Migrating Starred and Important Emails
Few challenges in migrating Gmail to Outlook for businesses and IT admins:
- Retention of Gmail-specific flags: Gmail’s starred flags and important emails don’t always translate one-to-one in Outlook, potentially losing priority.
- Metadata retention: Timestamps, read/unread, labels and folder structure must be retained for compliance and end-user experience.
- Management of large datasets: Migrations involving thousands of users and TBs or PBs of mail can bring systems to their knees.
- Prevention of API throttling: Bulk mailouts often exceed Google’s API thresholds, causing delays and retries.
- Reducing/eliminating downtime: Users can’t be interrupted during migration and continuity is top priority.
How CloudFuze Addresses These Challenges
CloudFuze removes the risk of losing precious data during Gmail to Outlook import by:
- Keeping starred and marked important flags intact so workers can quickly find priority emails in Outlook.
- Keeping metadata and folder structures like timestamps, read/unread status, attachments and folder hierarchies intact.
- Scaling with automation and managing thousands of accounts and large email volumes.
- Intelligent API throttling management with batching, retries and real-time tracking.
- Performing zero-downtime migration so workers can stay productive while migration happens in the background.

How CloudFuze Retains All Starred/Important Emails When Importing from Gmail to Outlook
Before Migration
In Gmail, Granger has several emails marked as stars, with important communications like project updates, approvals or client communication.
After Migration
After migration these messages are imported in the Outlook Inbox with a red flag of high importance (!) instead of the star in Gmail. Metadata like sender, timestamps, attachments, shared links and important messages are preserved, and workflows are uninterrupted.
This shows that CloudFuze can migrate starred or important emails 100% accurately during migration.
