Here, two methods will be discussed. One will include adding the Outlook email address to Gmail and another requires you to export a .pst file so that it can be imported to Gmail later.
Let’s start with the first procedure.
This procedure requires you to have a Gmail account and an Outlook Email Address before getting started. After having these, you should follow the steps mentioned below.
Out of all these choose the desired one and select “Start Import” and click on the OK button.
Now the import process will continue by itself without any further interaction from your side. So, now you may resume the session or may log out of the Gmail account. The import process might take a few minutes or hours depending upon how much data is required to be imported.
Before getting straight to the solution, I want to bring some points to your notice that are meant to be taken care of.
After covering up the above-told steps, now is the time to dive into the steps of exporting the Outlook emails to Gmail.
Step 1: Launch the Outlook App on your PC
Step 2: Sign in to the Outlook App using the correct credentials
Step 3: Now, export the “.pst” file and save it to the personal computer, for this follow the below steps.
Step 4: Now is the time to enable the IMAP, go ahead and check the steps.

Meanwhile, if the Outlook app crashes or does not function properly, it needs to be fixed.
Step 6: Now, is the time to import the previously created “.pst” file to the newly added Gmail account.
Now, wait till Outlook finishes importing the file and this process might take a few minutes or hours depending upon the size of the “.pst” file.
Step 7: Once the import is complete, you may go to Gmail on the web browser and check whether the imported emails are present in your Gmail account or not.
Till this point, all imported Outlook emails must have been transferred to the Gmail account.
