You probably know that Google’s Gmail allows you to access Gmail email from any internet connected-computer, but you may not know that Gmail also allows you to check any of your other email accounts, from any internet computer.
That’s right, Gmail will work as a POP3/IMAP/SMTP mail client, allowing you to check your other email accounts with Gmail!
Translation: you can use Gmail to check your ISP (like Verizon) email account, your business email account, or whatever email accounts you currently use that doesn’t have webmail, or doesn’t have webmail that’s as easy to use as Gmail. You can use Gmail to check your home email accounts when you’re away from home, and you can even use Gmail to check multiple accounts – up to five.
Using Gmail will also allow you to gWebs MailCloak to protect almost any email address out there – just add an address to your Gmail account, and your account will now support MailCloak!
So here’s the quick and dirty on how to get ‘er done!
1) Create a Gmail Account & sign in.
2) Go to your account settings and click “Add an account.”
3) Gmail has account settings for most major ISP’s already in their database, so all you have to do is give them your login information.
4) We suggest using colored labels to identify accounts.
5) Sending mail from a POP account within gmail is easy too! Just click on your email address (or think link that says “change” right next to it) when composing mail, and select the account you wish to send from.
Some of you tech-savvy geeks are saying “Got’er done, kthxbye!” right now, but if your’re still scratching your head, read on after the break for a super-detailed walk through of the whole process!
