How to Make Gmail Your Universal Email Account

If you are like many people today, you have more than one email account to check. A feature in Google's Gmail allows you to configure Gmail to check multiple email accounts automatically. With this functionality, Gmail can become your single point-of-contact to check all of your email accounts.

• Open your Internet browser and go to Gmail.com. Sign into Gmail with your Google account by entering your login and password.

Step 2

• Click the link "Accounts and Import." Click the button, "Add POP3 email account." A wizard appears to walk you through the configuration process.

Step 3

• Type your email address and click "Next Step." Enter the username and password associated with the email address you just entered.

Step 4

• Type the name of the POP Server and port number if it is not the default port number of 110. You also have several options you can choose: Leave a copy of retrieved messages on the server; always use a secure connection (SSL) when retrieving mail; label incoming messages; archive incoming messages.

Step 5

• Click "Add Account."
