1. Connect to GWMail via IMAP with Outlook (skip if you have already done so)
2. Connect to Research via IMAP
3. Drag and Drop Folders from Research to GWMail

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

• A GWMail Account with ample space to move your Research mail to. We strongly urge you to delete mail that you do not need!
• A Research Account with mail on it
• Outlook installed on your computer. Outlook is available with the purchase of Microsoft Office suite. Please see the Book Store or your Local Service Provider (LSP) if you do not own/have Outlook installed on your computer.

Connecting to Research

1. Follow Steps 1 -> 10 outlined on the Outlook IMAP connecting to GWmail document here, and make the following changes:

Step 5. Email addresses is your research email address. For example, I would use ithelp@research.circ.gwu.edu.

Step 6. Incoming Mail Server: research.circ.gwu.edu; Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.gwu.edu

Step 7: Account Name - This is the part before the @ in your email address on research. So, I would use just ithelp.

Transferring Mail From Research to GWMail

Click on Action -> Send/Receive to get both your GWMail and Research mail.

Next, click on the Folders listed under Research (research.circ.gwu.edu) and drag and drop them to GWMail (imap.gwu.edu) to transfer your mail.
