Apps Documentation & Support
The Email Migration API enables you to migrate email from any email data source into a Google Apps Gmail account. You can write extraction code which operates against an email server data store, interface protocol, or email client data store. You can then use this API to upload the email messages to a target mailbox, specifying the correct labels, date, and status. The Email Migration API supports administrators migrating mail to accounts other than their own, and supports end users migrating mail to their own accounts.
Supported Editions: This API is only available in Google Apps for Business, Education and ISPs, and cannot be used for migration into Google Apps (free edition) email or Gmail accounts not hosted in Google Apps.
