I have been forwarding emails from my university-based Gmail account to my personal Gmail account for years, and there are no copies of the emails in the original Gmail account. Now I graduated and I want to move these already read emails back to the original account so that they do not take 10GB space in my personal Google account space. Is there a way to do this?

  • Do you want to delete them? If you can move them back, and you lose access to the university gmail account, then they will be gone. – mhoran_psprep Jan 27 '20 at 13:04
  • No it is guaranteed that I will never lose access to the university account. – user5054 Jan 28 '20 at 3:08

To fetch emails with the new (or old one) Gmail account do the same procedure:

Log into your new Gmail account.
Hit the gear icon.
Select 'Settings'.
Go to the 'Accounts and import' tab.
Go to the 'Check mail from other accounts' section.
Select 'Add a mail account'.
Enter your old Gmail account and hit 'Next'.

  • Thanks for the response, but I think this will move my personal emails as well to the university account, which I don't want. Right? – user5054 Jan 28 '20 at 3:15
  • You can filter mails with tags, or delete after transfer. – AndriuZ Jan 28 '20 at 7:46

    If you are going to do this make sure you "Leave a copy of retrieved message on the server." otherwise all the mail will be moved. – mhoran_psprep Jan 28 '20 at 11:35
