Rescue for paranoids or transfer mail from Gmail to Hotmail
Hello, dear habravchane!
It's no secret for anyone that on March 1, 2012, the new Google Privacy Agreement will come into effect, which has caused many paranoid fans of information security to worry, including me. Of course, Google doesn’t force anyone to use their mail; if you like, go away. But what about the letters that are in my box? There are a lot of them there. Save them on the computer? Inconvenient. Send to another mailbox manually? A lot of work, and how then to organize them? The ideal option is to create your own personal mail server at home and not allow anyone to read their mail, but there are not so many people who can do this (and they have been keeping all mail at home for a long time).
I didn’t know what to do in this situation until one friend gave me a link to an article that described the method of transferring all mail from Gmail to Hotmail. Why choose Hotmail? Yes, because Microsoft has developed a special tool that facilitates this migration and allows you to transfer mail automatically. (I'd like to add that, to date, Hotmail personally seems to me to be the most reliable mail service in terms of confidentiality and information security.)

What can a person who wants to transfer all his Gmail-mail and contacts to Hotmail to do? To do this, just take 3 simple steps.
1. Create a Hotmail account (if you don’t have one yet). I think this step should not cause the slightest difficulty. Come here and fill out the appropriate fields get a beautiful mailbox @ hotmail.com.
2. Import old emails from Gmail. And here is the moment that everyone waited and feared. Go to the TrueSwitch website via the link , enter the data of Gmail and Hotmail accounts and voila! - letters begin to be sent to our new mailbox. You can choose to forward letters in the last 2 weeks or in general all (in this case, the process may be delayed). In addition, TrueSwitch takes care of sending all emails to Hotmail that will arrive in our Gmail inbox over the next 90 days.
3. If you don’t want to delete your Gmail account , but simply don’t want to log in using it, so that Google doesn’t determine your location, this additional step will help you, which will allow Hotmail to automatically pick up and send mail from this mailbox. The following sequence of actions will help us in this:
The TrueSwitch script will gradually pick up our mail from Gmail and put it in a separate folder in the Hotmail folder structure and, in addition, will mark these letters with a special label. It is worth noting that some emails may end up in the junk mail folder if Hotmail considers them spam. If some of the letters are not among the imported ones, you need to check this folder as well.
From myself I want to add that the script selects the speed of work based on the number of letters. He forwarded my several hundred letters for several pieces, but for one girl who asked to do the same with her mailbox, in which there were about 10 thousand letters, letters flowed in a stream.
I hope my article will help you quickly and painlessly transfer your mail from Gmail to Hotmail and worry less about your privacy.
