To Import Google Takeout data into a new account manually, first download your Google Takeout archive (usually in .zip format) from your old account. Extract the downloaded file, which contains emails saved as MBOX files for Gmail data. Then, use an email client like Mozilla Thunderbird to import the MBOX files. Once imported, configure your new Gmail account in Thunderbird and move the emails from the MBOX files to your new account. However, this method can be time-consuming, especially if you have a large volume of emails or attachments, and may require troubleshooting during setup.


Alternatively, you can simplify this process with the Cigati MBOX Converter Tool. This tool directly converts MBOX files into formats compatible with Gmail, like PST, allowing you to import emails into the new account with minimal effort. It also supports batch processing and preserves email integrity, making it a quick and reliable solution for transferring Google Takeout data.
