Gmail will take other gamil in outside account access. You just need to turn on POP in the secondary account.

I need an address so I can visit those sites and google groups where I should not be visiting ! te problem is when i create a new gmail account it takes over the computer which has created the account and thus becomes the default on the computer. how do i prevent this happening ? I want to be able to switc between the lot. Oh dear Lord. oh for the days of deliveries in plain brown paper envelopes !!!

Gmail has now rolled out outside account access. In the accounts settings see “get mail from other accounts”. As Gmail polls the other accounts (POP3 only at this stage), it will add a single label (i.e., “other account”) to all email pulled from that particular account. However, Gmail will not access gmail or gmail hosted (i.e., Gmail for your domain) accounts.

You can use Gmail’s send as feature to get by that “gotcha” you go to Settings>Accounts and add your secondary accounts there and check the ” Reply from the same address the message was sent to.” option. I was wondering, can Gmail use POP to get emails from the secondary Gmail account instead of forwarding from the second account to the primary one? That way I can get my chat sessions from my google talk account.

ok, but is it possible to make the labels automatic? or do I have to manually add them to every mail?

The best you can do is apply labels on the various accounts using filters.

Gmail doesn’t have folders. :)

hey there engtech.

I am using many email accounts on a single gmail inbox and have been doing so for quite a while.
I am wondering if you know if it’s possible to let each email address save it’s mail in separate folders?

Hi John,

That sounds like it might be a phishing attack. “Phishing” is manipulation to make people give you their username/passwords.

I’d suggest immediately changing your password on your gmail account.

Can you post a link to that website so I can check it out?
