Transfer Verizon Email to Gmail for Free Today

Taking your email data out of Verizon and adding it to Gmail lets you view your messages regardless of who your ISP is. Here, I will teach you the exact steps of how to transfer Verizon email to Gmail just the way I do it.

But Why Gmail?

Well, Gmail is the most popular email service on the planet. Choosing it will boost your email communication multifold. No matter which Internet Service Provider you use—be it Verizon or any other—you will still maintain your email access with no issues whatsoever.

There are other options, no doubt, but the features Gmail gives you have no contest. It’s not just me who’s saying it; it is the 1.8 billion monthly users who believe it as well. Moreover, Verizon has bumped up its plan pricing multiple times in 2025 alone. Consequently, many users have expressed an intention to switch to a more affordable provider, and many have already done so (7,000 as per Verizon’s 2025 Q3 report).

This exodus creates considerable urgency for those who still use Verizon emails, but at the same time, moving thousands of emails from one account to another is not as easy as switching phone service providers.

Don’t worry; I have helped many people switch their email accounts and will be happy to help you, too. Let us start with a method that perhaps you have been thinking about using yourself: i.e., forwarding mail.

How to Forward Verizon.net Email to Gmail in 2025?

It’s quite simple. All you need to do is hit a button, and that’s it. Let me explain you step by step.

• Step 1. Sign in to your verizon.net account.
• Step 2. Open an email.
• Step 3. Click the forward arrow icon.
• Step 4. Type your Gmail email address in the To field.
• Step 5. Press Send to transfer Verizon Email to Gmail.
• Step 6. Repeat for every other message.

I recommend setting your emails from oldest to newest. When you forward a message, it will appear in the order.

However, there is a big limitation to this process is that you can’t scale it to multiple messages simultaneously. So it takes a lot of time getting all of your messages across.

Then there is the problem of all incoming; you can’t just stop people from sending messages to you. Fortunately, we have a built-in feature that lets us handle such situations, i.e., autoforwarding lets me teach you how to set it up.

Log in to your Verizon Net’s email platform (managed by AOL ever since the 2017 migration)

• Step 1: Click the Settings Gear Icon, then select More Settings/All Settings.
• Step 2: Go to the Forwarding section.
• Step 3: Enter your Gmail address and Save.

Now all your new messages will redirect on their own; you don’t have to forward them manually.

Even with this, forwarding is not the ideal way to transfer messages far from it. Consider the second manual strategy, which is a better DIY option.

Use Email Clients to Transfer Verizon Email to Gmail

You can move your Verizon email to Gmail with the help of any of the many desktop-based email clients. Here is what you need to do.

• Connect your Verizon email to Outlook or any other client, and add your Gmail account as well.
• Then open a second instance of the same client and arrange both the windows side by side.
• Finally, select a bunch of messages from the Verizon mail account and drop them into the Gmail account. Repeat till you move everything.

This method sounds easy, but it is actually quite complex. If you have never used a desktop client before, then I must tell you that setting them up is no easy feat.

Also, you get no indication of how much transfer is done and how much is left. The drag and drop method indeed lets to transfer multiple messages at once, which is quite an upgrade from the earlier one message at a time forwarding, but it is still not fast enough. You have to actively participate in the process.

This means that you use it, but only if the number of messages is less, and you plan to operate your Gmail account through the email client.

Don’t worry, I have more tools in my arsenal that I have not yet revealed. It’s time for you to learn the built-in facility Gmail gives to all accounts, even the free ones.

Gmail’s Built-In Mechanism for Bringing in Verizon Email Data

• Log in to Gmail on any browser, then click the Settings Gear and click the See all settings option.
• On the settings page, switch over to Accounts and Import, then click the Import mail and contacts link.
• A small window appears in the top left corner of your screen. Provide all of the information and continue till you transfer Verizon Email to Gmail completely.

Now this process has a few limitations;

• You have to redo the entire process every time you want to import.
• There is no option to stop the process in between if you want.
• You can’t filter what gets transferred; it’s all or nothing.

You can easily get rid of all these limitations if you use the automated tool instead.
