Email & Calendar Upgrade
A quick, friendly heads-up for the team

Your email is moving to Google — and there's nothing for you to worry about.

Your address stays the same. Every email, every calendar event, every contact comes with you — now in Gmail and Google Calendar, the tools you already know. This page walks you through it in plain English.

Nothing breaks. Nothing's lost.

The three things everyone asks first:

✉️

Your address doesn't change

You're still you@muradimmigration.com. Clients won't notice a thing.

🗂️

Your history comes with you

Years of email, your calendar, and all your contacts are copied over — going back to day one.

🤝

We do the heavy lifting

The move happens behind the scenes. When it's ready, you simply log in. That's it.

Welcome to your new email home

A quick overview from the team handling your move.

When we give you the word

Signing in for the first time

It takes about two minutes. We'll let you know the day it's ready — until then, keep using your email exactly as you do today.

Go to Gmail

Open mail.google.com in any web browser (or the Gmail app on your phone).

Enter your work email

Sign in with you@muradimmigration.com — the same address you have now.

Use the temporary password we send you

We'll hand you a one-time password. You'll be asked to create your own right away.

Set up your phone's login security

You'll confirm a quick second step (a tap on your phone) so your account stays protected. We'll walk you through it.

Take it for a spin

A quick checklist once you're in

Have a look around and make sure everything feels right. If anything seems off, tell us — that's exactly what this test period is for.

📥

Your email is all there

Search an old message. Check your folders carried over as labels.

📅

Your calendar looks right

Glance at the next few months — meetings, court dates, deadlines.

👥

Your contacts are here

Open Google Contacts and spot-check a few names.

📤

Send & receive a test

Email a coworker and reply — make sure mail flows both ways.

📱

Set up your phone

Add the account to the Gmail app so you have email on the go.

🔗

Anything you log in with email

If a program uses your work email to sign in, tell us so we can reconnect it.

A small extra step — only if we ask you

Bringing older calendar items across

A handful of older calendar entries — mostly meetings set up by people who've since left the firm — need one extra nudge to come over. If that affects your calendar, we'll point it out and it takes about two minutes:

📅 Two minutes in Outlook → Google

  1. In Outlook, open your calendar, then File → Save Calendar (choose the full date range) to save an .ics file.
  2. In Google Calendar, click the gear → Settings → Import & export → Import.
  3. Choose the .ics file you just saved, pick your calendar, and click Import.
  4. Done — anything that was missing fills in, and nothing duplicates.
Totally optional — not required

Attached to Outlook? You can keep it.

You don't need to do this. Gmail and Google Calendar work beautifully on their own, and most people feel at home within a day or two — so we'd suggest giving them a fair shot first. But if Outlook is where you live and you'd simply rather keep it, you don't have to give it up: you can point Outlook at your new Google account. It's a little more hands-on, and we're glad to set it up with you.

The easy way — the “new” Outlook (Windows or Mac)
If you use the newer version of Outlook, just choose Add account, type your you@muradimmigration.com address, and sign in with Google when it asks. Your mail, calendar, and contacts flow in automatically — no extra software to install.
Classic Outlook on Windows
Install Google's free tool, Google Workspace Sync for Microsoft Outlook, from tools.google.com/dlpage/gssmo, then sign in with your Google account. It builds your Outlook profile and keeps mail, calendar, and contacts in sync. (Works with the Outlook in Microsoft 365, Outlook 2021, and Outlook 2019.)
Just want your email in Outlook (any version)
You can add your account as IMAP for mail only — you'll read and send email in Outlook, and use Google Calendar and Contacts in your web browser. Ask us and we'll hand you the exact settings.

Not sure which fits you? Just ask — we'll have you set up in a few minutes.

Good questions

Frequently asked

Will I lose any of my email?
No. Everything is copied — your original mailbox stays untouched the whole time. We only retire the old system after you've confirmed the new one has everything.
Does my email address change?
Not at all. You keep you@muradimmigration.com. Clients email you exactly as they do today.
Do I have to do anything right now?
Nope. Keep working normally. We'll tell you the day your new account is ready to log into — and we'll be right here to help.
What about email on my phone?
You'll add your account to the Gmail app (we'll show you how). It's a one-time, two-minute setup and then your phone works just like before.
How do I change my password later?
Anytime: go to myaccount.google.com → Security, click Password, and set a new one. (Or from Gmail: your photo in the top-right → "Manage your Google Account" → Security → Password.) Forgot it? Just reach out and we'll get you back in.
Something looks wrong — what do I do?
Tell us! That's the whole point of the test period. Reach out using the contacts below and we'll sort it out before anything goes live.
