Email migration/transfer
Email migration means moving a lot of emails from one email account to another. Usually, you need to do this when you are switching email accounts. The cloudHQ email migration also moves all email details: labels, dates, flags, sender info, etc. Our tool uses the Gmail API and can move around 20,000 emails a day.
BTW, in tech terms, migration can mean “copy” just as much as it means “move.” For example, “let’s migrate our photos from the phone to the desktop” does not always mean the photos are removed from the phone after the transfer.
Email forwarding
Email forwarding means resending emails from your inbox to another email address. It’s useful for sending emails to your CRM, colleague, etc. Email forwarding will not keep email meta-data (like labels). It uses Gmail’s sending limits, so you’re limited to 500 emails/day for free Gmail accounts and 2,000 emails/day for paid G Suite accounts, based on Google’s daily send limits.
