Telus webmail and my google account connection

Rapono

So my main google account is directly linked to my telus webmail account (I put in my telus email as my username/email when logging into my google account), and I'm worried that moving everything to gmail will negatively affect/possibly compromise my google account. I cannot afford to loose this google account. Anyone know if this is a risk?

Have a look at these instructions
Some folks have had difficulty with maintaining two Gmail accounts with the same telus.net address, but this differentiation should address the issue.

See these as well.

I so scared of things going very very wrong and losing important emails/having conflicts with my existing google account that I'm trying to see how long I can get away with still using the webmail service. Anyone have any idea?

No issues so far aside from having to be logged into my non-Telus gmail account to use Google Docs.

Anyone know if the folders I have in webmail will also transfer over in the gmail move? I have alot of very important emails I can't risk losing in some of them.

As a backup, and for certainty, you could:

  • export them to your computer
  • if using a mail application, place them in a local folder in the app
  • place them back in the inbox

Lots of folders for me and they all were migrated. As mentioned a backup is a good idea.
