Migrate data between Google Apps accounts
If you create a new Google Apps account for your organization, you can migrate your Gmail and Contacts data as well as information in Google Calendar, Drive, and Sites from your old Google Apps account to your new one. You can also migrate a personal Gmail account to your new Google Apps account.

- Google Apps Migration for Microsoft® Exchange (GAMME) is a utility that migrates your mail, including labels and archived mail, to another account. GAMME can also migrate other data, but requires you to install the tool first.
- POP and IMAP—You can download your Gmail to your computer via POP or IMAP access with a local desktop client, such as Outlook® or Mozilla Thunderbird®. POP and IMAP download your mail in different ways. See Get started with IMAP and POP3 for details.
You can export Gmail contacts to a CSV file and then use that file to migrate your contacts.
