Moving your account

How to move your email from pvLearners to a Gmail account

Part 1

Why do I need to move it and how do I keep it simple?

1. If you are a PV Schools graduating student or a PVUSD employee leaving the district, this guide will help you move your pvLearners email to a gmail account. Your PVUSD pvLearners account will be discontinued (generally sometime between July and October) and when it's removed, you will no longer have access to your pvLearners mail, drive/documents or website.

2. Since pvLearners is a google domain, you will have the most success in moving your accounts and apps from one google entity to another.

If you do not have a gmail or personal google account, set one up here.

3. If you have another email service like Cox, Yahoo, or Hotmail, and wish to move your email there, go to their site and follow the import mail guidelines.

The instructions on this website will only illustrate moving your pvLearners account to another gmail account exclusively. This method is the most reliable.

Part 2

Forward all your new mail and tell everyone your mail is moving!

4. After you set up your gmail account, go to your pvLearners email and look top right for the gear icon.

Click the drop down arrow. Choose: Settings

5. On the menu:

Choose: Forwarding and POP/IMAP

6. Click the "Forward a copy" button and add your gmail account:

Take a close look at everything that is happening in the window above.

7. You then will need to open your gmail account to get the Confirmation code.

This will copy your new incoming pvLearners email into your gmail right away. It will NOT collect email after your account is terminated.

8. Send an email out to everyone in your contact list or your school Workgroup.

Part 3

Saving All Your Old Mail. Do you really want to?

9. Decision time. There ARE ways to migrate ALL your pvlearners mail and apps to your new gmail account. It's complex. Ask yourself, do you really need it ALL? If your answer is YES here are some resources:

- - Use an application from LifeHacker
  - Follow these step by step instructions

I told you so! Both of those instructions are complex. Your third option is to simply open each email that you want to keep and forward it to your new address. This is tedious, but it will clean up your email clutter for sure and you will feel totally refreshed!

Hint: If you've used filters, you can use those to move larger groups of emails to your new location.
