Migration guide
How to migrate from Gmail to Tramovio
A complete, step-by-step walkthrough. Takes under 30 minutes to set up — the rest happens in the background.
Before you start
- You have a Gmail account you want to migrate from
- You've created a Tramovio account (sign up free)
- You have access to your Gmail account settings
- 1
Create your Tramovio account
Go to tramovio.com and sign up for a free account. You'll receive your EU email address instantly.
Get started - 2
Enable IMAP in Gmail
In Gmail settings, go to Settings → See all settings → Forwarding and POP/IMAP → Enable IMAP. Save changes.
- 3
Start the history import in Tramovio
In Tramovio settings, go to Migration → Import from Gmail. Enter your Gmail credentials and authorize access. The import starts automatically.
- 4
Set up forwarding from Gmail to Tramovio
In Gmail settings, go to Settings → See all settings → Forwarding and POP/IMAP → Add a forwarding address. Enter your Tramovio address and confirm.
- 5
Start notifying your contacts
Begin replying to emails from your Tramovio address. Update key accounts and subscriptions with your new address over the next 7–30 days.
- 6
Cancel Gmail when ready
Once you're confident all contacts have been updated and nothing is missing, you can stop the forwarding and close your Gmail account.
Tips for a smooth migration
- Don't rush. The 30-day Transition Mode is there for a reason — use it.
- Update high-priority contacts first: banks, employers, government services.
- Check your Gmail Sent folder to identify frequent contacts you've emailed recently.
- Use Gmail's "Last account activity" to check if anything is still actively using the address.
- Keep Gmail forwarding active for at least 30 days after your last update.
