Manage all your emails in one gmail account

Sometimes you may  have to use various email accounts for various reasons.  However it is very uncomfortable to login to each account individually to check the coming emails. Personally I have six different emails. Some of them are under my domain names and the rest are Gmail , hotmail and Yahoo accounts. Thanks to the new Gmail functionality of adding external email accounts I can  check all these  accounts by logging just to one of my Gmail accounts.

There are two different ways to recieve your domain based mail in your Gmail account:

The first one is to forward your domain mails to your Gmail account or to any ather free mail account. This task of forwarding is supported in major hosting services and you can reach that feature through the control panel provided by your host. Opting for this solution you will get a copy of all those emails sent to your domaine emails.

The second way is to enable  your gmail account  to import your domain based emails. To do that, login to your gmail account then click on the settings link in the top right corner of your Gmail account. then choose accounts and in the seccion recieve maessages from other accounts click on Add Another Email Address, imeadiatly a small window will pop up . Add your  domain based email and click on next step. Now another window will open asking for your domain based email and some other stuff, make sure to introduce all the details and in the end click add account. That´s it, If everything is done correctly, you will be able to reach your domain based email messages through your gmail account. Now you have two accounts in one, following the same steps you can add up to five external accounts in your gmail account.

What else? when sending email from your google account you may want to provide your contacts with a specific replay email. Well in gmail it is fairly easy,  Whenever you compose a new email  you will have all your added emails in a drop down menu just choose the email you want for a given purpose or adresse. Your contact will only recieve the assigned email address with the message.

I think that’s all. if you have any comments or questions just drop me a line in the form below, and I will get back to you.
