School Gmail: prepare a copy in a personal account

Gmail-only preparation from your school Google account to your personal Google account. This grants no transfer authority or school deadline guarantee.

Resolve account identities, authority, destination storage and school-enabled Gmail transfer privately. Missing or blocked controls go to the school administrator; do not bypass settings. Administrator prerequisites.

Google’s school-copy instructions exclude contacts, chats and tasks. Drive and Photos are outside this preparation.

The documented route is school Transfer your content → destination address → Get code; destination Gmail confirmation email → Get confirmation code; return to school → Verify, choose Gmail content, then Start transfer.

Codes expire after 24 hours, work once, and only the latest works. The code link will not work in a forwarded confirmation email. Keep codes private.

Copies may arrive in batches; completion email differs from checking intended mail under the school-name/start-date label. Each repeat creates a new set. Originals remain unchanged; no complete account migration, restoration or safe-erasure result is established.

Evidence: Both official sources read through 2026-10-05T19:04:35Z. Sixteen synthetic manual decisions were checked, without accounts, codes, exports, transfers, messages or settings accessed or changed. A distinct same-controller checker rechecked those sixteen decisions and six additional boundaries; no independent review is claimed. Recheck before use, after source or school-context changes and by 2026-11-05T19:04:35Z. Follow the email standard [current article]. Feedback should name the failed branch without mail, addresses, codes or private links.
