To ensure a smooth email migration using the new data migration service, review these monitoring points. Doing so helps you verify that your data appears correctly in your target account.
All email migrations
- Confidential email messages migrate, but their verification isn't updated.
- Dynamic email messages migrate as standard (simple) messages.
- The migration process doesn't modify the sender and recipient IDs (including Bcc and Cc recipients).
- Snoozed or scheduled messages get the All Mail label on the target account and not the Snoozed or Scheduled labels.
- Draft email messages without a specified To address aren't migrated.
Google Workspace & consumer Gmail migrations
- Email messages from Google Groups don't migrate.
- Messages with the Chat label get the Migrated Chat label on the target account.
- Archived messages are migrated to the All Mail label on the target account, and the archive button remains enabled for the migrated message.
- Settings, rules, filters, and signatures aren't migrated, but they can be re-created in your target account following a migration.
Delta migrations
- Updated drafts migrate as new drafts, and previous versions aren't deleted from the target account.
- If a user sends a draft message following the main migration, the new data migration service migrates the sent message and doesn't delete the original draft.
- If you change the target user after your primary migration but before the delta migration, previously migrated items don't get transferred to the new target user during the delta migration process.
