How to Use Gmail to Send and Receive Emails from Other Accounts
In Gmail, click the Gear icon and select Settings.
Click the Accounts and Import tab and then, in the Check Email from Other Accounts Section, click Add a POP3 Email Account You Own.
Follow the instructions in the pop-up wizard that appears.
Many of the options include a Learn More link if you need more information. For some email services, like Yahoo, some information will be prepopulated. If not, you may need to check with the company that hosts your email account (e.g. your domain registrar or website host) to get the settings you need for mail servers, port numbers, etc. You can usually find the settings in the support section of the company’s website.
IMPORTANT: If you still want to be able to access and send emails from the original service, make sure you check the box to Leave Messages on Server. Otherwise, after they’re downloaded to Gmail, they’ll be deleted from your mail server.
After you’ve finished the setup process, you’ll see this email account added to your Settings page.
If you click the Make Default link, this will be the email address that is automatically used to send emails when you click the Compose button. Otherwise, you can select this email from the down arrow in the From field.
At this point, it’s a good idea to test that both the Send and Receive settings have been set up successfully.
