Exporting Emails from BUmail to Gmail

A graduating student or other student may want to be able to have all of the emails in their BUMail in a different email account. The following documentation outlines how to do this. At this time, Information Technology only supports doing this through Gmail.

Note: In order for the email move to work successfully, you must move all emails out of their folders and into the mailbox.

1. Log into http://mail.google.com
2. Select the Gear from the top right and select Mail Settings
   
   
   
3. From the Accounts and Import tab, select Import Mail and Contacts
   
   
   
4. Google will open a new window. Enter your Butler email address and select Next
   
   
   
5. Enter your Butler password and select Next
6. Enter your Butler password again. The POP username should be your full Butler email address, and the POP server should be bumail.butler.edu
   
   
   
7. Verify all of the settings and hit Start Import. Note: Ensure the Leave a copy of retrieved message  box is checked so that it leaves a copy on the BUMail server
   

After 2-3 days, your mail should now appear in Gmail. Your contacts will need to be manually copied. For instructions, please visit our Exporting Contacts page.
