How to check all of your email accounts from Gmail

If you’re ok with Outlook, then there’s not a problem. However, if you prefer to use Gmail for everything since it’s web-based and therefore not tied down to one computer like Outlook, then you might be interested in knowing how to setup all of your email accounts in Gmail so you can receive all emails via your Google Inbox.

So here’s how to setup Gmail as a master account for collecting email from all of your other online accounts:

1. First, log into your Gmail account and click on Settings at the top right corner.

2. Now click on the Accounts tab and click on Add another email account under the Get
mail from other accounts heading.

3. Now you’ll be presented with a little pop-up window where you can enter in the email
address for the account you want to add in. The cool thing about this is that you don’t
have to sit there and worry about finding the pop and smtp server names for your ISP,
Google will automatically try to determine the servers for you based on the email
address!
4. After entering email address, Google automatically determined the POP server name and the port number. All you have to do is enter in your password for the account.

You also have the option to leave a copy in your account, label the messages from the new account so you can sort them quickly, and to archive them directly so that they don’t show up in your Inbox.

Now the email accounts will be checked by Google on some periodic basis and the emails will be retrieved and stored according to your preferences. Unfortunately, you cannot set the time period for the email checking.
