Move initial email

How to move email messages to another account. Hi, everyone. Leo No10boom here for Askleo.com. If you're not getting my weekly email newsletter, Confident Computing in your e-mail box every Tuesday, you're missing out. You're missing out on answers to questions, solutions to problems that you may be facing every day. Visit Askleo.com/newsletter to learn more and sign up today. So let's read today's question. It's one that I hear frequently. "For years, my wife and I have used an email service with an annual fee. It is always met our needs, but there is probably no good reason to continue paying fees for what is available free elsewhere. However, even after pruning, we have hundreds of old emails stored on servers at our current service. Is there any way we can transfer the old emails to a new email provider in bulk? We would probably transfer to Gmail or Yahoo!" So the answer, of course, is maybe it depends. There's rarely a simple yes or no answer to any question that I get asked. So what I want to do is I want to show you a couple of po10tial solutions to the problem you're facing here and some of the characteristics of when might when might work and when it might not. So over here in Windows 10, I have two email accounts open in my Web browser. I have my Hotmail account. AskLeoexample@Hotmail.com and then in another tab, I have askLeotest@Gmail.com. So I have these two accounts ready to go. What I'm going to do for the purposes of this video is pre10d that I am moving from Hotmail to Gmail. Now you can see that in my Hotmail. I have exactly one message. You clearly have hundreds. Just assume that this one message represents the hundreds of email messages you have. They'll all get moved. I just needed to weed out all the spam that shows up at this account before showing it to you. And you can see that even this message is technically spam, but it's at least an example message. So option number one is. Import, it would be nice if you could import your messages directly from one account to another and as it turns out in Gmail, you could do something like that. So if you're moving to Gmail, if you're planning on Gmail being your new account, your new user interface, this is one option. Hit the gear and Gmail, see all settings. And then in accounts and import, you'll see that there's something called important mail and contacts. That sounds like exactly what we're trying to do. If we click on that, you'll see it begins a process of asking you, OK, where are you coming from? What is the email address of the account you want to import? In my case, I want to enter my Hotmail email address and then continue the process. I'm not going to because I don't actually want to do this. This is...
