Gmail Migration
Most people discussing the migration of Telus email to Google Mail are coming with questions and/or complaints. This is unnerving as I contemplate initiating the migration. It would be helpful to k...
We are in an area that only has Shaw or Telus and they both have crappy customer service. Telus was supposed to move my mailboxes over a week ago and they have not nor have they had the decency of a follow up call or email. My wife still has the old email and she won't be switching to fckg Google unless they force her.
I have survived the migration and it went really well - I was surprised. In this household there are two iphones, two ipads, one android phone, a macbookpro, mac mini and two windows PC.
All the apple products went really fast without and issues setup was very easy and the information Telus provided was easy to follow.
The PC's were more of a challenge - both run Outlook 365 and I thought I would use my skills by manually setting them up - no go.
I ended up using the GSuite sync tool which worked really well - all the mail and all the folders we have were imported as expected to both machines.
The hiccough were contacts but that was not a Telus/Gmail issues as I have mine in icloud and my wife's are in outlook.com. However it was easy to import once the conversion was done. All in all I was surprised how easy this was and how relatively quickly it went!
- Curious if we're now able to keep our telus.net Email address after the migration no charge if switching Internet providers 🤔
Noticed you didn't get a reply. Likely not. The Anonymous.net email is tied to your account. They have no incentive to let you keep it if you leave.
The service is set up through a corporate G-Suite system, so they are paying Google to run the Anonymous.net emails. It's not the same as the free gmail email accounts.
