When I transfer e-mails from Outlook 2013 to GMail via GSMMO, some of my sent e-mails end up in the spam folder. I can move them to the inbox with "no spam". How do I get them from there into the sent folder? Do I really need to use IMAP? X_X

Best Answer

Gmail and Outlook mailboxes work very differently.
While Outlook has folders and allows to add any email to the sent folder, Gmail has views and labels.
Users can't add emails to Sent because it is a view that contains all emails where the Mailbox owner's email address can be found in the From field.

Workaround:

  1. In Outlook create a custom folder (i.e. name it as Outlook Sent)
  2. Move the content of the Sent folder to the new custom folder.
  3. Migrate your email to Gmail

Result:

  • There will be a label in Gmail and all the emails in your new custom folder will have that label
  • Gmail's Sent will include all emails that were sent from the primary email address by the Gmail's mailbox owner.
