I would like to move some of my emails (Gmail) from one Google account to another.

 

The emails I wish to transfer are ALL the emails in various 'Labels' (Gmails name for Folders).

 

There are probably 3,000 odd emails in about 10 Labels. To make it clear, every email within those 10 Labels needs to be moved.

 

I have seen various options on the web, but I have found nothing that preserves the Label assigned to that email ie it will transfer the email to another Google account but without the attached Label assigned to that email.

 

 

 

Any suggestions?

 

 

 

Thanks

In the past I used thunderbird and set up both accounts with imap and dragged across. Labels are folders to imap so it seemed to copy the one that I dragged it from over ok. If you label with multiple things then that will not work tho.

I think Gmail lets you set up aliases? So if your account is abc@gmail.com, then email sent to xyz+abc@gmail.com will also go there.

 

So, at the receiving end, set up one alias per label, and filter incoming emails to automatically add label e.g. xyz if it was addressed to xyz+abc@gmail.com. At the sending end, select all the emails with label xyz and forward them to xyz+abc@gmail.com. Rinse and repeat.
