How to Move from Gmail / RediffMail / HotMail / YahooMail to ProEmail

Stage 1: Quick and Live Migration

Set Up Email Forwarding:

• Go to the settings of your Gmail, RediffMail, HotMail, or Yahoo Mail.
• Find the email forwarding section and enter your new ProEmail address. This will ensure you receive any new emails sent to your old address.

Forward Important Emails for Immediate Access:

• Select important emails from your previous account and forward them to your ProEmail address for easy access and immediate use.

Start Using Your ProEmail:

• Start sending new emails and replying to messages using your ProEmail address. This will help establish your new email identity.

Notify Your current working Contacts:

• Send a brief WhatsAPP message to your contacts informing them of your new ProEmail address. Example “Hi, I just sent you an email from my new ProEmail address. Please check and confirm receipt. Let’s use this email for all future communications. Thanks!”

Update Accounts and Subscriptions:

• Gradually update your email address on any accounts or subscriptions linked to your old email.

Stage 2: Old Emails

Scenario 1: If You Don’t Have Outlook Desktop App

Forward Important Old Emails:

• When you have time, select important old emails from your previous account and forward them to your ProEmail address for easy access.

Leave Some Emails for Reference:

• Consider keeping very old emails in your original account for reference. This helps maintain a complete record without cluttering your new inbox.

Scenario 2: Move Through Outlook

Configure Your Old Email Accounts in Outlook:

• Set up your Gmail, RediffMail, HotMail, or Yahoo Mail in the Outlook desktop app.

Export/Backup Your Emails:

• Export your emails to a PST file. This serves as a backup of all your old emails.

Remove Old Accounts from Outlook:

• Once the backup is complete, remove your old email accounts from Outlook.

Configure ProEmail in Outlook:

• Set up your new ProEmail account in the Outlook desktop app.

Import the PST File:

• Import the backup PST file into your ProEmail account to transfer your old emails.
