I'm looking for some advice from people who have dealt with email migrations on macOS. Over the years I've accumulated several accounts, including Gmail, Office 365, Yahoo Mail, and an old AOL account that still contains important conversations. My goal is to bring everything together without losing folder structure, attachments, or email metadata, but most tools I've tested seem to focus on only one migration scenario. That means I'd have to buy separate software for Gmail migration, Office 365 migration, and other webmail transfers, which doesn't seem practical.
While searching for alternatives, I found MacSonik Email Migrator, which appears to work as an all-in-one email migration solution for Mac. From what I've seen, it supports migration between more than 15 email services, including Gmail, Yahoo, Office 365, AOL, Hotmail, IMAP, Zoho Mail, iCloud, GoDaddy, Yandex, HostGator, Amazon Webmail, Opera Mail, and others. What caught my attention is that it doesn't just perform webmail-to-webmail migration—it also lets you export emails into multiple formats such as PST, OST, MBOX, EML, EMLX, MSG, OLM, PDF, CSV, HTML, MHTML, DOC, DOCX, TIFF, and GIF. That seems useful if you ever need local backups or want to switch to another email client later.
Another thing I liked is that it can also import email files back into webmail accounts. So if you already have PST, OST, MBOX, OLM, EML, EMLX, or MSG files stored on your Mac, you can migrate those directly to Gmail, Office 365, Yahoo, AOL, IMAP, or other supported services without relying on multiple utilities. It even offers both single-file and batch conversion modes, which sounds convenient if you're managing data from several users or archived mailboxes.
The preview feature also looks helpful because I don't always want to migrate every folder. Being able to preview mailbox items and attachments before starting gives me confidence that I'm transferring the correct data. I also noticed there's a date range filter, which would let me migrate only emails from a specific period instead of copying years of unnecessary messages.
One feature I was especially interested in is duplicate email removal. Whenever I've merged multiple accounts in the past, duplicate messages became a real headache. If this tool can automatically remove duplicates during migration while maintaining the original folder hierarchy, that would save a lot of cleanup afterward.
Performance is another concern because some of my mailboxes contain tens of thousands of emails. According to the specifications, the software is optimized for macOS and supports Apple Silicon processors (M1, M2, M3, M4, and newer), while also working on older Intel-based Macs running macOS High Sierra through Sonoma and later versions. That's reassuring since compatibility is often a problem with migration software.
I also saw that there's a free demo version that allows migration of up to 50 emails. That seems like a reasonable way to verify whether everything—including attachments, folder structure, and mailbox organization—is preserved before purchasing the full version.
Has anyone here actually used MacSonik Email Migrator for a large-scale migration? I'm particularly interested in hearing how it performs with Gmail to Office 365 migrations, PST or MBOX imports, or moving multiple accounts at once. Did it maintain folder hierarchy and attachments accurately, and was the migration speed acceptable for large mailboxes? I'd really appreciate any real-world experiences or recommendations before I start migrating all of my email data.
