In certain scenarios, you may need to migrate emails from G Suite to a cPanel server. This article outlines the steps for this migration.

Firstly, gather the following details:

• G Suite email account username and password.
• cPanel mail account username and password.

Note: If IMAP settings are not enabled in Gmail, enable them before proceeding with the migration.

Steps to Enable IMAP Settings in Gmail:

• Log in to your Gmail account.
• Go to Settings, then click on “Forwarding and POP/IMAP.”
• Look for “IMAP Access.”
• Enable IMAP if it’s currently disabled.

To enable Less Secure Apps settings:

• Click on the  Logo >>Manage your Gmail account >> Navigate to Security >>Scroll down to the page to Less Secure App
• Turn it ON.

If you don’t have the imapsync tool, install it using the command:

sudo yum install imapsync

Starting the Migration Process

To commence the migration process, run the following command inside the screen terminal on the cPanel server:

imapsync –host1 imap.gmail.com –port1 993 –ssl1 –user1 [email protected] –passfile1 /home/gaurav/pass1 –host2 eternity.herosite.pro –port2 993 –ssl2 –user2 [email protected] –passfile2 /home/gaurav/pass2

Replace “goransh” with the account username.

/home/gaurav/pass1 – Save your gmail account password in this file
/home/gaurav/pass2 – Save your cpanel account password in this file

This is the successful migration process from G Suite to cPanel!
