Migration Email Guide:
Types of Email Users:
Most of your emails are likely from friends or family members. These emails may
contain pictures or other memories that you’d like to save so you might have the need to migrate only some, not all, of your emails.
Other emails may contain contracts or invoices that you’d like to save so you’ll most likely have the need to migrate those emails as well.
Options for Migrating your Emails (choose one):
Recommended for l users
- You can forward emails from your @GWI.net email account to your new account. This
method allows you to choose between migrating all or only some of your emails. Find the
@GWI.net emails that you’d like to migrate, click on the Forward button and enter your new
email address to send them to your new email account.
- You may be able to configure your email client so your @GWI.net and new email account
are both present. Once that has been done, you can copy some or all of your emails from your
@GWI.net email account to your new email account. The following article from Liquid Web
has some directions for how to complete this process.

An Option for users
A local computer repair or IT consulting company might be able to help you create a new email account and migrate emails from your @gwi.net account. Many of these companies may
do house visits, phone calls and/or schedule an appointment at their place of business.
Steps for Migrating your Address Book or Contacts List:
- Export – Using the webmail interface or an email client for your @GWI.net account, go to your contacts list or address book and choose the Export option. Your list will be exported and
saved as a file on your computer.
- Import – Using the web interface or an email client for your new email account, go to your
contacts list or address book and choose the Import option. Select the file that was saved on your computer from step one to import your list.
Updating Your Email Address:
Once you’ve created an account with a new email service, you’ll want to replace your @gwi.com email address with your new address anywhere it is being used. Think about where you receive emails from and use the list below as a guide:
- Family and friends
- Subscription services such as streaming, digital newspapers, etc.
- Bank or other payment accounts
- Social media accounts
