Import Gmail to Outlook
When you switch to Microsoft 365 email from another service, such as Gmail, you have two options:
- Import a copy of your old email into your Microsoft 365 account. This way, you can have all your email—past and present—in one account. Choose this option if you have the Outlook app (2013 or 2016) installed on your computer and plan to retire your Gmail account. Instructions are provided here.
- Connect your old email account to Outlook. You can see and access your old email, but it will be stored in your Gmail account, not your Microsoft 365 account. Choose this option if you plan to keep your Gmail account active or don’t have the Outlook app installed on your computer. For the steps, see Connect email accounts in Outlook on the web (Office 365).
