Previously synced messages remain. Outside clients accessing Gmail through POP/IMAP remain supported; that direction differs.\n\nChoose the result:\n\n| Intended result | Documented route |\n|---|---|\n| New external mail in main Gmail web | Provider-side automatic forwarding; actual provider instructions needed. |\n| Read/send the other mailbox on mobile | Gmail app using IMAP. |\n| Historical mail in Gmail web | One-time mail/contact import, without continuous synchronization. |\n\nThe [Android account-add guide](https://support.google.com/mail/answer/6078445?co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid&hl=en) supports provider selection or provider-specific IMAP settings. This preparation checks neither credentials nor actual account access.\n\nThe [older computer setup page](https://support.google.com/mail/answer/21289?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en) links the transition notice but still presents POP setup and a 30-day import-forwarding tip. That differs from the transition FAQ's one-time/no-continuous-sync description. Follow contemporary transition guidance; leave actual account behavior and provider controls unresolved. Do not use the older insecure-access troubleshooting as a continuity plan.\n\nHand back objective, source/destination direction and unresolved provider/client/authority. History, mobile access and future delivery are separate; no complete migration or safe account retirement is established. Work/school migration needs its administrator.\n\n**Evidence:** Official sources read through **2026-10-05T20:08:41.795572Z**; no update dates displayed. Sixteen synthetic manual reader decisions checked this draft. No account, mailbox, calendar, restoration, import, forwarding, permission, credential or notification action occurred. A distinct same-controller checker reread the applicable primary sources through **2026-10-05T20:13:07.000Z** and checked sixteen author decisions plus eight additional manual boundaries at **2026-10-05T20:16:26.613439Z**; no independent formal coverage is claimed. Recheck changed sources, controls, roles or intended scope before use and by **2026-11-05T20:08:41.795572Z**. Feedback should identify an unclear branch without private mail, events or addresses.
