If you’re comfortable with Outlook, you can easily use it to manage your email. However, if you prefer to use Gmail for all your email needs, since it’s web-based and has better spam filtering and security, then you may want to consider setting up all of your email accounts in Gmail and managing them from there.
Now, under the Email section, click on Add Account. Next, you’ll be asked to enter your email address and password for the account you want to add. After you’ve added the account, click on the blue button that says “Enable this account.” Now all of your email from this account will be collected in your Gmail inbox. You can also use this method to collect email from any other online accounts that you have. ..
The first option is to Import mail and contacts, which will allow you to import all of your email from your old Gmail account. The second option is to Check mail from other accounts, which will allow you to check if any emails from other accounts are being sent through Gmail.
Google has a helpful page on the different ways to move email into your Gmail account. Basically, you have to decide whether you want to import only old emails, only new emails, or both old and new emails. ..
Option 2 is for getting old emails from a different email provider into Gmail and for that you’ll need to use the Export mail and contacts link under Accounts and Export. You can export email from Hotmail, Yahoo, AOL or any other email provider that allows POP3 access. When you click on the link, a new tab will open and you’ll be asked for the email address for the other account.
The message you received says that you need to log into your other email account to confirm the import. It also says that a third-party company called ShuttleCloud carries out the process and that the transfer may be unencrypted.
If you are using an email provider that requires you to confirm that ShuttleCloud can access all your data, please click the link in the new window and confirm that you want to continue.
Once authorization has been successful, it’ll ask you to close that window. Go ahead and do that and on the previous window that you were on before, it’ll update and move on to Step 2, which is to choose what you want to import.
The last option is the only way to import new email into your Gmail account if you don’t have a POP3 account. If you just want new emails to come into the account, you should choose the second option, which is Add a POP3 mail account you own. I’ll explain that option next.
If you are trying to migrate all your old email from another email provider and you also want all the new email to come to your Gmail account, then the best thing to do is to uncheck Import new mail for next 30 days and then setup the add POP3 account separately. That way your old mail will be imported but new mails will not be checked. ..
The first thing you’ll want to do is expand the “Inbox” folder. This is where all your old email goes, as well as any new emails that have been sent since you last used Gmail. To do this, click on the “Inbox” folder on the left side of your Gmail screen and then select “Expand.”

Secondly, you can see the progress of the import here. The import finished almost immediately, and under Send mail as, you’ll see that you can make your other email address the default for sending mail.
When you reply to an email, it will automatically reply from your Gmail address. However, if you don’t want that, you can choose Reply from the same address the message was sent to and when you reply to an email from the other email account, it will also reply from that address instead of your Gmail address.
It is important to note that you can click the delete button under Send mail as for the other email account, but that will not delete the actual emails that had been previously imported. If you want to delete all the imported mails, you have to go to the label and click on the arrow next to it and choose Remove label. It will then show you the label and any sub-labels and confirm whether you want to delete the emails.
To get new emails into your Gmail account, you should start by adding a POP3 mail account you own from Accounts and Import. You’ll be asked to enter the email address for the other account.
Google has a new feature called “Email Import.” This new feature allows you to import your email from a POP server. You can choose to leave a copy of the email on the server, use SSL, label the messages, and archive them. ..
If you leave the default setting as shown above, the emails will only show up in your Gmail inbox if you have an account. If you are done, click the Add Account button. Additionally, it’s worth noting that any new unread emails in your Inbox will also be imported into Gmail. In my case, I had an unread email in my Yahoo account from one year ago.
If you’re importing your email from another account, it’s worth labeling the incoming messages so you can easily find all the emails from the other account in case a bunch of unread ones are also imported. ..
To get email into Gmail, you can simply set forwarding on the other email account to your Gmail account. You could set it up that way, but I prefer to use the two methods included in Gmail for getting old and new emails. If you have any questions, post a comment. Enjoy!
