Exporting Roundcube emails to Gmail can be done manually, but the process is time-consuming and requires technical precision. To begin, log in to your Roundcube webmail account and individually download the emails in EML format. Then, open Gmail using a desktop email client like Thunderbird or Outlook configured with your Gmail account via IMAP. Import the EML files into the Gmail account through the email client. However, this manual method poses several challenges—it’s inefficient for large mailboxes, risks data loss or email structure corruption, and lacks support for bulk conversion.
For a more efficient and secure solution, the MCD IMAP Backup Tool offers an easier and more reliable approach. This tool allows you to directly export Roundcube emails to Gmail by configuring both email accounts via IMAP, supporting batch migration while preserving folder hierarchy, attachments, and metadata. It also minimizes the risk of data loss and supports advanced filtering options for selective migration. Using the MCD IMAP Backup Tool significantly simplifies the migration process, making it ideal for both individual users and organizations seeking a hassle-free way to transfer their email data from Roundcube to Gmail.
