Question Asked: How Do I Download Mail From A Second Account to My Gmail Account?
|
Aug 11th, 2009 |
If you’ve got more than one e-mail address, and don’t want to go through the hassle of checking multiple inboxes for your messages, you can use a feature of Gmail that downloads your mail into Gmail.
To set this up, login to your Gmail account as your normally would.
Click “Settings” in the top right corner of the screen, then click the “Accounts” tab.
Under the second section down, click the “Add a mail account you own” link, which will pop up a window on your screen. Follow through the few steps and provide the information that the website asks for.
Keep in mind that not all free e-mail providers allow this method of getting your mail, called POP3. The majority of e-mail services that you pay for should allow this, though.
Once you finish going through the steps, you’ll see that under the “Get mail from other accounts” section says “Checking mail…” next to your new address.
Now when someone sends mail to your other address, it’ll show up in your Gmail inbox. You can reply from that same e-mail address.
Be sure to select “Reply from the same address the message was sent to” under the “When receiving a message” section. This ensures that the reply you send always comes from the address that someone sent the e-mail to, not from your Gmail account.
