If for some reason your email provider doesn't support POP3 email retrieval, your other option for getting email into Gmail is using forwarding from that service. What if my email provider doesn't support POP3? If the email starts coming in, then you're all done! You've properly set up Gmail to receive email from your other email accounts. If you're having trouble or just want to edit the account details, you can always go back into the Gmail settings, click "edit info" for that account and change any details necessary.

Depending on the amount of mail you have in your other account, it could take some time to all arrive. Going further, you can also have messages archived by default, so they distinctly go into just the label and not the inbox - that's personal preference, but might be a good idea for when you first add the account so your backlog of email doesn't hit the inbox.Īfter you've made all of your import decisions, click "add account" and wait for everything to sync up. You can always tweak the label later, but to get started it's helpful to have some separation there. This means every email that comes in via another account will be labeled differently than the email that comes to your actual address. The option to label incoming messages is also a smart one to check. The first option, "Leave a copy.," is one that's good to check, as it'll leave a copy of every email on the other service's server, rather than deleting it when it is pushed to Gmail - at minimum, we'd leave this checked until you can verify email is flowing properly. Forcing SSL is a good idea and is checked by default, but you'll need to decide whether you want to check the others. If you're using a major email provider, Google will be able to detect the proper POP server and port, so you won't have to worry about those.

You'll need to enter the username (usually the part before the symbol) and password for the account, as well as select a POP server and port, then check some of the settings. Hit next, and you'll find a slightly more complicated screen to do all of the configuration at once. Just like before, you'll be prompted to enter the email address which you'd like to receive email from.
