Email transfer from Telus to google mail
I have stumbled on a number of web articles about telus mail moving to gmail. Link: https://www.telus.com/en/bc/support/article/telus-email-transition-general-information I have not received any no...
They are migrating the email accounts over in batches. They will email you prior to your account moving.
Just did the migration this morning. I use Outlook 365 so used the G Suite Sync app (GSSMO). What a mistake!!
It took 2 + hours to do some sort of synchronization - then when I opened Outlook IT DID IT AGAIN!!!!! Fully synced, I close Outlook and it spends almost 10 minutes syncing all over again. There's no new emails, no new contacts, no new calendar items. What is it syncing? Who in their right mind would use such a piece of crap? Gmail online interface is simply awful and besides, I want a desktop email solution - not something I have to use in a f@#$ing browser.
Worse, I use Outlook to manage several emails (thankfully unrelated to Telus.net) and those accounts WERE DELETED!!!
WTF?
This is the most inconvenient migration I've every done. Very unhappy with Gmail and Telus. I'm going back to IMAP and looking for another email provider - despite the HUGE inconvenience of having to change an email address I have used for almost 20 years.
I wasn't specific - if you want to continue using Outlook, go to the instructions here: https://www.telus.com/en/bc/support/article/telus-email-as-alternative-application
I would not recommend POP.
IMAP is not the ideal solution but at least it works without the constant unnecessary syncing
