I'm attempting to migrate my emails to a new gmail account using the migration tool. I've already setup my the "send as" functionality on gmail so I can send as my old address and I've added the pop3 details (it is currently receiving new emails perfectly)
I follow the on screen instructions and I authorise the app in my gmail account online. It correctly finds my contacts, calendars and emails (contacts and calendars transferred without a problem)
However, I get this message.
I've followed the first step at https://support.google.com/a/answer/176213#api but cannot access the admin account (I have a personal gmail account) so what am I meant to do? I get "You need to use a Google Apps account to log into Google Admin Console."
So, not finding any helpful solutions online I try to limit the number of emails being migrated by setting a date limit in the migration tool (down from 15,000 to 5). It still doesn't work!
Can anyone help or give another way to import emails?
Thanks
"I have a personal gmail account", but Gmail is not listed on the requirements. The tool is for Google Apps only. Not for Gmail. – Arjan – 2015-08-15T15:45:17.550
Arr. Ok but everything (https://code.google.com/p/google-email-uploader/) directs me to do that. How is anyone meant to transfer then?
