Migrate from cPanel Mail to Gmail / Google Workspace

cPanel's webmail (Roundcube/Horde) feels dated: slow search, weak mobile UX, no team sharing. The biggest blocker for users moving to Gmail / Google Workspace is the fear of losing old mail. This guide solves that.

Where to find cPanel mail settings

1. cPanel → Email Accounts → next to your address, "Connect Devices" / "Set Up Mail Client"
2. "Manual Settings" → "Secure SSL/TLS"
3. Incoming server (IMAP): usually mail.yourdomain.com, port 993
4. Username: full email address (e.g. info@yourcompany.com)
5. Password: the email password you set in cPanel

Easy Mail Transfer steps

1. Sign up
2. Source provider: "Custom", host mail.yourdomain.com, port 993, email + password
3. Destination: Gmail (imap.gmail.com) + Gmail App Password
4. "Connect and continue" → folder picker → optional date filter
5. Pay $0.99, transfer starts

Multiple mailboxes?

For a company with 10+ users, Bulk Transfer: same cPanel host, different email/password pairs, all run in parallel.

After migration: point your MX records to aspmx.l.google.com; new mail lands in Gmail and the old mail is already there.
