In this video, I show you how to migrate emails from one user to another in Google Workspace using the Google Admin data migration tool.

This is a common task when:

An employee leaves your business

You need to close an email account but keep all emails

You want old emails moved into a new or shared inbox

You are trying to reduce Google Workspace licence costs

I walk through the full process step by step inside the Google Workspace Admin Console, including:

What access and permissions you need before starting

How to use the Data Migration tool correctly

Connecting the source and destination accounts

Uploading the migration CSV

Choosing the correct migration date range

Migrating all emails (including deleted and spam if required)

Confirming the migration is complete

Deleting or archiving a user to save on subscription costs

Transferring Google Drive files when deleting a user

How long you have to recover a deleted user if needed

This tutorial is designed for Google Workspace business accounts and is ideal for business owners, IT admins, and anyone managing company email accounts.
