Note: If you have been using POP3 or have Local Folders, all of your mail will reside in a .pst file.

 

1) Close Outlook and copy the .pst file to the desktop.

2) While the .pst file is copying, download and install the Outlook Migration Tool from https://tools.google.com/dlpage/outlookmigration

3) Once the .pst file has copied to the desktop, rename it to “migrated.pst”. Add the “migrated.pst” file to the Outlook Data File tab.

 a) Compact the .pst.

 i) Click the File tab.

 ii) Click Account Settings, and then click Account Settings.

 iii) On the Data Files tab, double-click the data file that you want to compact and click Compact Now.

 iv) Wait until it is done and click OK.

 v) Repeat for any other data files to be compacted.

4) Once it has compacted, confirm that the .pst is well under the 25GB limit.

5) Check the Outlook folder names and rename any folders that have ^.

6) Run the Google Apps Migration For Microsoft Tool.

7) Put in your Berkeley email address and choose “No, help me sign in.”

8) Authenticate with your Calnet ID and password (Google key if Departmental Account).

9) Choose Allow access.

10) Return to the Tool and make sure it says From .pst file and check Migrate All Data.

12) Choose Email and contacts, if they are associated with this account.

13) Click Migrate and wait.

Note: It's about 1 email a second. Keep that in mind.
