How to Move Deleted Gmails to Outlook with CloudFuze
Businesses migrate emails from Gmail to Outlook either for business expansion or as part of a larger transition from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365.
Whenever businesses transfer Gmail to Outlook, they usually tend to focus more only on moving emails from active Gmails. However, equally essential are the deleted Gmails, which are frequently kept under Gmail’s Trash or preserved under Labels. These emails can get permanently lost during the migration if not appropriately handled. So, it is essential to accurately migrate them during your Gmail transfer.
This blog post provides insights on how you can seamlessly move deleted Gmails to Outlook with CloudFuze.
Importance of Migrating Deleted Emails from Gmail
Enterprises transfer deleted emails when migrating emails from Gmail to Microsoft Outlook for various reasons, including:
- Legal and Compliance Requirements: Many businesses have to maintain deleted emails for a specific duration of time due to legal or compliance requirements.
- Accidental Deletes: To retrieve emails accidentally erased from the user’s previous Gmail accounts
- Data Recovery: Deleted emails can include records, significant discussions, or information that is answerable to the country’s law and order policies.
Since Gmail and Outlook handle deleted emails in varied approaches, it can be challenging to migrate deleted emails. So, it is advised for enterprises to safely export Outlook emails before proceeding to delete Gmail account.
Challenges in Recovering Deleted Gmail Emails
- Permanent Deletion: Gmail deletes emails from Trash automatically after 30 days, making recovery impossible unless you backup Gmail emails.
- IMAP limitations: Deleted emails might not be reachable using standard IMAP syncing techniques.
- Retention of Emails: It can be difficult to move deleted Gmails to Outlook through manual methods.
