I link multiple POP3 email accounts to my Gmail account, but I didn’t think it was possible link multiple Gmail accounts. Thanks for sharing!

It’s actually a fairly simple process that has been under my nose for quite some time.

So here’s a mind twister for you:
My problem is that I have one gmail account which I share with 4 people (business) and we all have our own gmail accounts.
How can set it up so that all mail received in the shared account is forwared to all 4 other accounts?

please help

This is helpful. I followed this tutorial and am quite pleased at the ease of this process! Thanks. However, after reading some of the user comments on here, I went back into my current Gmail settings and chose to use the POP option instead to retrieve messages from my other Gmail email address. This seems to be a better, more reliable option. I’m sure its just a matter of opinion. I suggest anyone else to also try just enabling your email address to be downloaded directly into your email addresses through your POP settings. It seems to be better. But thanks for the article, it got me going on the right track.

Regarding the issue “X sent on behalf of Y” that many posters here have raised:

One solution is to set up the accounts, forwarding and filtering as described above, but do not delete the original message from the secondary recipient e-mail account when it is forwarded to the primary gmail account. Use the primary account to monitor incoming mail in the secondary account and to reply to this mail where disclosure of the primary account address is not an issue. But where such disclosure would not be desirable, log into the secondary account and reply to the message directly from the original received message that is still there.

The only disadvantages to this method are the necessity of still using secondary accounts directly when disclosure of the primary account address may be undesirable, and the necessity of cleaning out the secondary account inboxes occasionally if the possibility exists of filling up those inboxes such that those secondary accounts could not receive new mail.

And what about the labels that I have in each individual account where do they go when filtering into the labels inside the new account?

Are we having labels inside of labels now?

Thanks

I’ve figured out a way but this will only work with 2 addresses I think.

In the shared mailbox go to settings and then “forwarding and pop3″ and fill in one personal address in the “forward all mail to” field and make sure to “keep gmail’s copy in inbox”. Then create a filter that targets all mail (in my case all mail sent to the shared address) and then forward that mail to the other personal address and (optional) mark it as read, so it doesn’t clutter up that inbox to much.

This might work with more addresses if it’s possible to recreate the same filter a few times, I haven’t checked on that.

How about this situation:

My wife and I both have a GMail account as firstname.lastname@gmail.com. We also have a GMail account with this adress: mylastname.herlastname@gmail.com. What we want to do now is receive the email from that shared account in our personal accounts. I’ve tried the following without any luck:
- Create POP3 accounts in both personal accounts but this results in only one of us getting the message depending on how fast our client checks the mailbox
- Create one POP3 account and forward all mail to the other account. This results in the forward account receiving everything and the pop3 account receiving nothing.
- I’ve tried to put both our personal addresses in the forward all mail field but that is not acceptable by Google.
Anyone got any clues on how to make this work?

By the way, I’m using the most recent gmail… your instructions may be for an older version?
So many times things don’t work for me, and I – step by step – try to follow, and I wasn’t sure where to click next.

God Bless, and THANK YOU! For my “fun” accounts, it takes some of the burden off my overworked Outlook – used for business!
God Bless!

Is there a way to keep your gmail address from displaying when sending mail from one of your other email address via gmail? I use gmail for my work email and every time I send an email from work, using my work email address it always shows my gmail address in the upper right of the email. I don’t really want them knowing my personal email address. Can this be fixed?

There is one more problem – mails sent from the secondary email are not forwarded to the primary email. That means to search all of my emails at once using the primary account is not really possible. Another problem is that sometimes I get a mail to both the accounts and it will be nice if gmail were able to recognize the duplicates and merge them.

Not just Gmail account, this works for any of your mail. Some time back I wrote one similar article explaining how to map all your emails to Gmail.
