If you’re still using Outlook, there’s another easy way to import your Outlook .pst folders into your GMail account:
1. Enable IMAP on Google account
2. Enable IMAP in your Outlook, your GMail folders will then appear in your Outlook folders list.
3. Just create a new label in GMail ‘old’ and it will be re-created in Outlook as a folder.
4. Simply move all your Outlook folders to this new folder and it will all be uploaded to GMail, correctly labelled and the timestamps kept intact.
When all is done, disable IMAP in Outlook, close it and then remove the ‘old’ label from all the messages in GMail.
