Provider switch

Move your active inbox. Keep your history independent.

A provider change should decide where new mail goes, not whether the past remains usable. Preserve supported Gmail or Microsoft 365 history in AtArchive before the old account is closed, downgraded, or forgotten.

AtArchive is not a mailbox-migration service that writes old mail into your new provider. It gives the old history an independent archive so the provider switch and the preservation decision are no longer the same thing.

Why separate history from the migration

The new provider does not need to become the new owner of your past.

search

Keep the old history searchable on its own

Search preserved records by people, organizations, dates, attachments, phrases, and other available context without relying on the retired provider.

account_tree

Preserve provider boundaries

An archive can keep source/account identity visible instead of pretending several historical inboxes were always one mailbox.

swap_horiz

Make the next switch less consequential

Once history has an independent home, changing the active provider again does not have to restart the preservation problem.

Switch without making history collateral damage

Preserve first, then move forward.

Archive the old provider

Connect the supported Gmail or Microsoft source while the account is still active.

Verify the historical archive

Open old messages and attachments you recognize before treating the source as disposable.

Move new communication separately

Set up forwarding, DNS, migration, or a new mailbox using the provider tools appropriate to your active-mail move.

What AtArchive contributes

AtArchive is optimized for historical preservation and retrieval rather than active mail delivery.

  • Supported Gmail/Google Workspace and Microsoft 365/Outlook historic email ingestion.
  • Multiple archives can be managed while preserving account boundaries.
  • Search and archive views continue to operate on the history AtArchive actually holds.

Switching-provider questions

Will AtArchive move my mail into the new provider? expand_more
No. It is an independent archive, not an IMAP-style migration tool that writes historical messages into the destination mailbox.
Can I keep the old provider active for a while? expand_more
Yes. You can preserve and verify the history before deciding when or whether to close the source account.
What if I have several old providers? expand_more
AtArchive can manage multiple archives while preserving which provider and account each history came from.
