Create Storage Space in Gmail Without Deleting Anything!

This past several months, I've been battling with reaching my 15GB storage limit with Gmail.  I, however, have no desire to sift through a million emails and find ones that are "delete-worthy."  I reference old emails too often to start trying to get rid of them in order to create more space.  

I received my first notification a couple of months ago, and Googled all the strategies I could find on how to clear out some space.  I cleaned out the Trash, and some files within Google Drive, I cleaned out the obvious garbage in Gmail and emptied the Trash, and basically followed a lot of the generic solutions I found across several reputable sites.  

While it was enough to get me by (and stop the obnoxious, "You're running low on storage space. Try freeing up space or purchase additional storage" message in Gmail), it didn't last very long, and a couple of weeks ago, I found myself right back at square one.  

So, I came up with my own solution to create a separate, new Gmail account, and migrate a ton of emails from my primary account over to it.  I like this idea, because I can use the 2nd account solely for storage, and occasional referencing.  I decided to move a ton of old work emails over to it, but if I wanted to, I could move all emails with photo & video attachments, or all emails to/from a certain person, etc.  Anything I desire!

It was the perfect solution.... but I ran into a huge snag.  Gmail doesn't offer ANY options for bulk forwarding or migration of specific emails.  I couldn't believe it.  Long story short, I searched and searched, and finally found a perfect solution that allows me to back up ONLY the emails I want, and restore them in the new account.  Read my "Best, Easiest, FREE Way to Mass Forward Emails in Gmail" article to learn more about that program and process!
