Usually, the scenarios that encourage end-users to migrate their email data from Google Workspace to IMAP-based email clients are driven mainly by business mergers, technical, cost, strategic, and other factors. Each case is explained in detail in the section below:
Google Workspace uses a per-user subscription model; you can understand it as Google Workspace = User X Paid Subscription X 12. Whether users can use it or not, the organization still needs to pay that amount to Google, which is not very budget-friendly. On the other hand, IMAP is a budget-friendly option that can be used for free or at a cost lower than Google Workspace, depending on the email provider.
Many users prefer to keep their data on their own servers instead of Google's cloud. Users want their data to stay under their control, and with IMAP (Thunderbird), they get direct supervision over storage, backups, and retention policies. With Thunderbird, users get a copy of their data in MBOX locally. It might be the case for users.
Most of the organizations pay for the full Google Workspace when the employee requires only email, resulting in unused features, not wanted complexity, and higher subscription costs. Migrating to an IMAP-based email client environment provides reliable communication, simplifies infrastructure, and reduces licensing expenses while maintaining secure access to business email data.
Businesses often pay for inactive Google Workspace accounts just to retain former employees’ email data, increasing unnecessary licensing costs. Archiving mailboxes to an IMAP-based system preserves historical emails and eliminates ongoing subscription fees while maintaining secure access to important records.
