Windows Live Mail 2012
I recently migrated (using migration tool) many Windows Live Mails 2012 storage folders to my Google powered Telus email/Gmail. When the storage folders came over there was a copy in All Mail but als...
What you're describing is related to how the TELUS Google Workspace environment handles imported messages. Unlike standard personal Gmail accounts, TELUS email accounts are part of a managed workspace, which sometimes interprets imported messages differently — especially if messages were flagged or tagged as "sent" during the migration process. This is why you're seeing the folders duplicated in “Sent Items.”
Unfortunately, there is currently no setting to prevent this behaviour during migration via the TELUS Gmail interface, and deleting the messages from "Sent" does, as you noticed, remove them from all folders due to Gmail’s label-based system rather than traditional folders.
We recognize this is not ideal. At this time, the best workaround is to use filters or labels manually post-migration to organize or isolate your messages as needed.
I just created an Outlook Email Account with the Telus email address, storage folder names showed up but the folders were empty. How do I get the storage folders out telus email account?
thx.
