From what I can tell, it just uses standard protocols like IMAP (at least, it did when I moved from a non-gmail provider to it).

Gmail uses IMAP, but there are rate limits that seem to have been implemented recently: https://support.google.com/a/answer/1071518?hl=en

The rate limits won't stop someone from eventually migrating out, but it might take a while.
