Fetch emails using Gmail


If you have multiple email accounts, you can check them all in Gmail. Gmail’s Mail Fetcher feature first imports all your old messages to Gmail and then continues to bring in new messages sent to your other account. You can add up to 5 accounts, including Gmail and other email providers.




1. Open your Gmail account.


2. Click the gear in the top right.



3. Select See all settings.


4. Select the Accounts and Import tab.




5. In the Check mail from other accounts section, click Add a mail account.




6. Enter the full email address of the other account, then click Next.



7. While "Import emails from my other account (POP3)" selected, click Next



 

8. Enter your Username ( Full Email Address ), Password , POP Server ( mail.domain.com ) and Port : 110


9. Now you have a few options to choose from. Here’s our recommended settings:



* Leave a copy of retrieved messages on the server - Check the box. Otherwise the emails in your other account will be deleted and you’ll only be able to access them in Gmail.


* Always use a secure connection (SSL) when retrieving mail - Uncheck the option as refer to our Exabytes server


* Label incoming messages - Check the box if you’d like to easily see which emails in your inbox came from this account.


* Archive incoming messages - Don’t check. Only check if you don’t want to see new messages from the other account in your inbox.




10. Click Add Account. If you get an error message while getting set up, click the Show error details link to find out more about what’s not working.


11. Once your account has been added successfully, you'll be asked if you want to be able to send mail as this address. This lets you compose messages in Gmail, but have them appear to be sent from your other email account.




If you don’t want to get emails from your other account in Gmail anymore, follow these directions:



1. Open the Gmail account that you’ve been importing mail to.


2. Click the gear in the top right.


3. Select Settings.


4. Select the Accounts and Import tab.





5. Find the Check mail from other accounts (using POP3) section.



6. Click delete next to the account you want to stop getting emails from.




Keep in mind that any emails that you previously received will remain in Gmail until you delete them.
