Manage multiple accounts with Mail Fetcher
July 12, 2007
Posted by Shirley Liu, Strategist, Consumer Operations
As a member of the Gmail support team, I get to read
testimonials
from people about why they love Gmail. Many of you have lamented the fact that your work, school, and other email accounts aren’t more like Gmail.
Why can't all my messages magically appear in my Gmail account?
Well, we can't do magic, but we do offer free POP-in access with Mail Fetcher.
Mail Fetcher
lets you retrieve messages from up to five different email accounts. Besides taking advantage of Gmail’s
spam filtering
, you can also use Gmail to send messages
using your other email addresses
. This is convenient for users juggling multiple accounts -- log in once from anywhere and access all of your messages from different email accounts (without missing a single
Gmail chat
). To enable Mail Fetcher, simply click "Settings," select the "Accounts" tab, click "Add another mail account" and specify your settings.
Just note that the account you're fetching from must have POP3 access. Some providers, including Yahoo! Mail and Hotmail, don’t provide free POP3 access, but many ISP email services do. For more information on Mail Fetcher, you can visit the
Gmail Help Center
.
