Transferring PST files, commonlyused for storing Outlook mailbox data, into Gmail folders involves a few stepsto ensure a smooth migration. Initially, Gmail doesn't directly support PSTfile uploads. However, you can use a workaround by utilizing the 'Import mailand contacts' feature within Gmail settings.
Begin by accessing your Gmailaccount and navigating to the 'Settings' menu. Locate the 'Accounts and Import'or 'Accounts' tab, then select 'Import mail and contacts.' Here, you'll need toprovide the details of your Outlook account, including the email address andpassword. Gmail will then prompt you to choose the items you want to import,such as emails, contacts, and calendar events. After selecting the desiredoptions, proceed by following the on-screen instructions to complete the importprocess.
Keep in mind that this method might take some time, depending on thesize of the PST file and the internet connection speed. Once the import isfinished, Gmail will have successfully transferred the contents of your PSTfile into your Gmail account, neatly organized within the correspondingfolders.
