Being an internet user, the probability that you have multiple email accounts is quite high but still, chances are that you don’t often check all your email accounts and just focus on your most active email account. Well, most of us do the same but what if one day, you miss out on an important email in one of your other accounts, only because you were too lazy to check it often? Quite possible, right?

So, how do you make sure you don’t miss out on your emails in other accounts as well, without actually logging in-to each and every one of them? Gmail comes to your rescue here!

Today, we’ll tell you how you can link other email-accounts (max. 5) to your Gmail account so that every email you receive in those accounts, shows up in your Gmail inbox as well. Not only that, once you link your other accounts to Gmail, you can compose messages in Gmail, but have them appear to be sent from your other email account. Just follow these simple steps and you’re done linking your accounts!

• Log in to your Gmail account. (Just in case you were wondering)

• Click the on the gear icon that you see on the top-right of your screen and then, click Settings.
  

• Open the Accounts and Import tab and you’ll notice Check mail from other accounts (using POP3), click on Add POP3 email account.

• As you click on Add a POP3 mail account you own, a new window opens up asking you to enter the email address of the account which you wish to link to your Gmail account. Enter the email address and them click Next Step.

• Enter the password of the other account which you’re linking to your Gmail account. Gmail will automatically fill-in the POP Server and port settings and you can also check-in on any of the four settings you wish to have.

• Click on Add Account.

Voila! You’re done! Once the account is set up, all the emails you receive in your other email account will now show up in your Gmail inbox as well. Also, now have the ability to compose messages in Gmail, but but have them appear to be sent from your other email account. Just select the email account you wish to send the email through in the ‘from’ menu while composing the mail.

So, go on! Save yourself the trouble of logging-in to different accounts and link up-to 5 different accounts to your Gmail account using these simple steps.
