Moving from a Personal Google Account

Starting June 2020 and February 2012, Google restricting certain types of access which could affect some access by third party tools : GSuite Help - Control access to less secure apps

(Many options like this are easier using a computer rather than a mobile device. You might be able to select the desktop version of webpages on your mobile device.)

If you want to forward email from old personal account to new account, then you might consider 1. "forwarding" from old account or 2. "check mail from other accounts" in new account

"Grant access to your account" is another option however this should be used with much caution.

Both options are under Gmail settings.
