Migrate Gmail to Outlook: Secure & Local Email Transfer
Switching from Google to Microsoft? Since Outlook.com removed the feature to import connected email accounts, a direct web transfer has become difficult. The desktop alternative — manually moving thousands of emails via PST files — often ends in synchronization errors. With the local Mailriva desktop app, you bypass this hassle: Transfer your entire Gmail mailbox via IMAP directly into your new Outlook account, safely and automatically.
Why a direct web import to Outlook is missing
In the past, you could easily link your Gmail account within the Outlook.com settings. Microsoft has discontinued this option. Mailriva securely copies your Gmail to Outlook data from server to server — locally on your computer — without exposing your passwords to the web.
Bypasses Missing Import
Mailriva fills the gap left by Outlook.com removing its import function.
Labels Become Folders
Google Labels are automatically converted into clean Outlook folders during migration.
Gmail Stays Intact
Nothing is deleted or moved at Google. Your source mailbox stays unchanged.
Full Privacy
The transfer runs through your own computer's connection. No third-party servers involved.
