Exporting emails to Gmail

I'm trying to move my Blueyonder emails over to my Gmail account using the MailJerry app on my Windows 11 PC. It is failing on the Blueyonder login although I'm using the same credentials from the ...

    A friend suggested I try POP3 migration and I found out that a new App Password had to be generated for that too.
    So, I created one and got POP3 Gmail Import working successfully for the Inbox only. I then manually deleted the originals from the VMAIL inbox.

    Onto IMAP with MailJerry for my folders....
    Another App Password had to be generated in VMail and then one in GMail too.
    As there is a 250MB limit on the free option, I invested £11 on a monthly plan for the first month that will synchronise for the rest of the month. 
    The migration kicked off great and told me it would take over an hour so I left it alone. When I returned, it appeared stuck but when I looked at the "Migrations" page it had completed OK. All look good with slight adjustments to duplicated labels (eg Finance/Financial)

    Downside is - now my PC App and phone apps don't sync with VMail as credentials are wrong!
    I'm not changing it again so I'm hoping the MailJerry sync covers it OK.

     

    FREEDOM!!!!

    Thanks for your help 🙂

I've never used Virginmedia email, but as I understand it they introduced this new arrangement after a number of security problems. It needs a new password for each device that logs into the email on their server. So MailJerry would need its own password to log in.

There are email experts on here who may know more, but I think you should contact MailJerry who might have had to deal with other VM customers with the same problem. 

I hope you can get this sorted and get away from this wretched VM email.
