Migrate GMX to Gmail: Fast, Secure & Local Transfer
Moving away from GMX.com and upgrading to Gmail? Gmail's built-in 'Import mail and contacts' tool often fails with GMX accounts due to strict security blocks and the use of older POP3 protocols which ignore your custom folders. With the local Mailriva desktop app, you bypass these web-based errors. You can copy your entire GMX mailbox directly to Gmail via a secure, local IMAP connection.
Why Gmail's built-in import fails for GMX
Google's native tool usually pulls emails via POP3. This means it only grabs your Inbox — leaving behind your Sent items and meticulously organized subfolders. Additionally, GMX blocks external web services by default. Mailriva runs directly locally on your computer, ensuring a full IMAP sync that keeps your folder structure perfectly intact.
Direct Server-to-Server
Mailriva transfers GMX to Gmail via IMAP and copies all folders, emails, and attachments.
Folder Structure Preserved
Inbox, Sent, custom folders — everything is recreated 1:1 in your new Gmail account.
Source Stays Intact
We strictly copy your data. Nothing is deleted, moved, or marked as read in GMX.
Purely Local, No Web Tool
The app runs on your computer. Your credentials are never uploaded to any server.
