Jeeze, if you have to make that kind of preparation, you might want to consider moving to somewhere civilised.
"In fear" is not a good place to live.
Unless, of course, you're just trying to set up some kind of live-action FPS thing, in which case I'd recommend using nerf guns -- less likelihood of tragic accidents, that way.

I finally got around to migrating my email from Gmail to Outlook.
It's worse, I'm receiving and sending business emails using my personal Gmail account (using an imported business email address).
At least I use folder to separate my personal mail from my business mail.
So, I got ALL my business email in Outlook, I leave a copy on my mail server so that wasn't a problem.
Except for the folders, which it didn't sync, it's just one big inbox of unread mail.
And my Sent mail, which was never synced to my mail server in the first place.
So I've exported my Sent folder, imported the mbox file to Thunderbird, filtered out my business address, saved those emails as EML and imported those to Outlook.
Aside from the huge hassle this is for something that should be standard functionality, all is fine.
I've still got some business emails from my personal address from when I just started out and those are in folders too.
So I figured I should simply do this for all my folders, but for some reason Outlook never imports the subject line 
It went fine for the Sent folder.
But other mails in my Inbox, or sub folder, just show as one giant conversation with (no subject line).
When I remove my imported mails the subject line shows in the trash folder
This is the second or third time in my life I'm migrating email and if I never have to do it again it'll be too soon

E-mail is just one big, long file of conversations.
If it's not importing correctly (and I hate to be on ms' side on this), it's because it's been exported incorrectly (OTOH, I'm quite happy to blame google, too, so it's win-win for me, whichever one screwed up).

Yeah, so you'd think it's easy to go from MBOX to EML or to PST or to whatever "standard" you have
I've figured out my issue though.
Apparently, Outlook thinks every individual imported email is a conversation or all together are one big conversation.
Somehow the conversation gets the subject (no subject).
Disabling conversations shows the correct subject.
Weird and annoying, but I guess it can't be helped because apparently email sucks

So we can blame ms AND google!

I've been blaming them for all kinds of stuff for years!
Application crashes, Microsoft.
Can't find sample code, Google.
Out of bread, *rolls dice*, Google.
Overslept... Last time was Google so I'll go with Microsoft today.
But this, this is unheard of, I can BLAME BOTH AT THE SAME TIME AND THEY DESERVE IT!

In Outlook (I suspect the newer versions than I have act almost exactly the same) - connect to the GMail account through IMAP. Do the same for your personal emails through the non-GMail account (?). That way you don't have to import anything. Outlook just builds an index PST of the existing emails from Google's servers and the other servers, and you can do what you want with them from there.

I remember looking for IMAP in Gmail, but couldn't find it back then.
I'm not sure what would happen if I somehow used IMAP now.
Will it sync all my mails from Gmail to my mail server from the past two years?
Will it sync all my mails from my mail server to Gmail and mess up everything?
It's now in Outlook and mostly good.
Good enough to look up some old mails if needed and in the worst case I can still look them up on my Gmail account (I'm not deleting those, of course).
I'm going for safe and leaving it as it is

It shouldn't hurt to connect to GMail through IMAP with another Outlook account, and see. imap.gmail.com, smtp.gmail.com are incoming and outgoing servers. Incoming: 993 with SSL, outgoing 587 with TLS. Username does not contain the '@gmail.com' part of the address. I think IMAP gives you more control over GMail than POP does, but I'm not certain as I haven't used it in so long. IMAP is far superior, in that you can read mail through any device and still have it show up on other devices without having to set up your own intermediary server (which seems to be what you did?).

I'm doing it the other way around, I've tried to connect my business mail to my personal Gmail account, so basically I'm using Gmail as a mail client.
So I get business mail in my personal mail account and from my personal mail account I can send mails with my business account.
Unfortunately, I only managed to do this using POP3.
I want to keep my personal account Gmail.
So now my (personal) Gmail account has all my incoming and outgoing business emails in it, neatly categorized in folders, while my business mail server has only incoming mails sitting unread in the inbox.
And now I tried (and mostly succeeded) to get all those outgoing business mails out of my Gmail account and onto my mail server and getting the incoming mails organized like in Gmail.
And I'm now using Outlook and IMAP so my personal Gmail and business mail are separated.
Good lesson for next time, only ever use IMAP!

I played with doing something like that over 10 years ago. Then decided I didn't want Google having access to my entire life. But I was impressed that they came up with ways to fetch your personal email from your ISP/host, and route it through their servers relatively painlessly.
Sander Rossel wrote: ...only ever use IMAP!
Very true. I remember figuring it out when I wanted to view everything on my phone or desktop. Had to copy a bunch of previous POP emails back into the IMAP server, but once everything was working it was hella better than POP.

This is not so much an issue with GMaail, or Outlook, or anything besides the people who have made non-standardized decisions over the years on what email should be and built whatever they wanted.
