Gmail's new feature -

Today i noticed a new feature in gmail - you can configure gmail to receive mails sent to your other email accounts straight to your gmail account.

Also the mails sent from gmail can be configured as it is sent from your other email accounts.

This is a very good one as i started to loose patience viewing all my three email accounts regularly.And also i like gmail over others.I am starting to hate Yahoo's big ads and the interface(both new and old).

so gmail is taking over finally..

I dont think they will have to allow access.Since gmail asks us the passwords for the accounts,i think gmail will query them as a normal browser would and then send the contents to gmail account.(I am not sure)

pop3 access. I am not sure if yahoo and rediffmail free accounts allow pop3 access. You can only use this facility for pop3 accounts.
It is useful for me. I have 3 accounts on my organization's domain. Our IT Administrators don't know how to forward mail from an account to another. So i set up google to periodically pick up the mails from the accounts and to forward it to blackberry. It is cool!

Very Good News Man..

You are 100% correct.. checking too many accounts become cumbersome

Hope gmail adds more features too..

Actually... I used to forward my Yahoo mails, all, to GMail from quite sometime :grin:

Yup. Yahoo Mail Plus!

And also, this Gmail feature was out quite a while ago - early December or somewhere around there.

Ya, i just checked! No new features on Gmail as of now.
Are you talking about "Check other accounts" from you Gmail as found in the Settings?

it is a old feature and is provided by Yahoo Mail too.

This is not a new feature. This has been around since gmail started.

It works in this way...
Register other ID in gmail. It may be yahoo or any email account. Gmail sends a verification mail to that account. Log-in to that account and confirm. Now all your mails gets forwarded directly to the gmail account automatically.
In the same way you can also configure other email ID in gmail, so that you can send mail from gmail using that ID! Awesome feature.

Eg: abcd@yahoo.co.in registered in gmail. Now log-in to gmail and send mails to friends as abcd@yahoo.co.in

I think you mixed two different features into one. When you register and verify another ID in gmail, you can send mails using that ID to others, but not recieve mails from that ID.

To recieve mails from another ID, that ID needs to Support POP3 access and then gmail can retireve those mails to your inbox and display them in Gmail.

Oops! Yes. I got mixed up. Actually inorder to get SMTP server mails to gmail inbox automatically, one needs to use "Automatic Forward feature" of that client. I have configured my yahoo ID to autoforward mails directly to gmail account. The one which I explained above is for forwarding mail frm gmail using other mail client.

This feature has been around for sometime now .. i have been using this for around 2 months. It's a real cool feature.

Yahoo Mail plus ? I have just the free account and i am able to do these things.

Perhaps this is the new feature added

But i havent configured it properly( just laziness) and i dont receive the mail properly.may be its because mail plus ! is needed or i did some wrong configurations.

All Yahoo Mail users of country specefic sites like co.in get Free Pop Access and Mail Forwarding. Sadly, users with .com IDs do not get these features for free, they need to Subscribe to Yahoo Mail plus by paying money.

hi everybody can u tell me where to set this feature, please tell me the detail instructions step by step please................................

Go to gmail and then at settings at the top right,goto accounts and there u can configure these things.
Settings->Accounts

I think the best solution is to use an email client. No mess.

yeah, aryayush agreed. But in my office we connect to the office through a proxy and no pop3 access outside the network is allowed. Gmail allows me to bypass this limitation.

ya this feature is good..
and i too think gmail is fast but there is a doubt of security...
and couple of problems yet to be solved to take over yahoo...

yeah security. We are in real trouble if google takes over the world. They will know exactly which all porn sites i subscribe to. <grunts..> Fat Chance!!

hiiiiiiiiiiii i just came across tat new feature ....it asked me abt ur new email account address i added up my yahoo's address next it displayed a form 2 choose password n some options....but by clicking next i am getting error as invalid ID/password....????? guys plz help abt tat...i entered letter by letter correctly of my ID n password...but same thing is repeating again????

help me out????????????

.

EDIT:
There used to be this Autoforwarding and free POP3 access in yahoo mail a while back available for Yahoo! delivers subscribers which I used to forward my email from yahoo to gmail.
Sadly, new yahoo ids don't get this feature and thus no POP3 and forwarding.
This feature supports web based email clients which have POP3. So, new free Yahoo ids are of no use, albeit I am using my old id successfully via either yahoo's autoforwarding or GMails POP3 fetcher (both are different services).

I m not able to access my yahoo .com ID thru this feature

. Any solution

Gmail->Settings->Accounts

Access other e-mail accounts through Gmail!!

Heard of this new cool feature in Gmail where you can access your other e-mail accounts (yahoo,hotmail etc.) if they support POP3 ??

I got this feature today, right now this feature is enabled for some of the users. Oh man, this means more gmail users, tough competition for the others, I think someday e-mail will be actually called G-mail

Re: Access other e-mail accounts through Gmail!!

Re: Access other e-mail accounts through Gmail!!

Re: Access other e-mail accounts through Gmail!!

Just check your settings and click on accounts tab, if you have a field named "Get mail from other accounts" then its available to you, else you have to wait for some more days, Google is still working on it.

Re: Access other e-mail accounts through Gmail!!

People, this is no new Gmail feature. This feature has been there for months.
This feature is also available in Yahoo Mail.
----------------------------

If you people have Yahoo India email id, then you can enable free Pop3 Access for yahoo mail and access it thru Gmail.
Just go to option, and there you will find Pop3 and Forwarding.
Enable Pop3 thru that option.

post count does not increase in bandwidth wastage

this is what I got on my new features link in google. I dont think it is an old feature. But note that they say something about limited users.

What's new on Gmail?

Just launched!

Get mail from other accounts
Now Gmail can check for the mail you receive at your other email accounts. You can retrieve your mail (new and old) from up to five other email accounts and have them all in Gmail. Then you can even create a customized 'From:' address, which lets you send messages from Gmail, but have them look like they were sent from another one of your email accounts. Please note that you can only retrieve mail from accounts that have POP3 access enabled. Learn more

This feature is currently only enabled for a limited number of users. We're working on making it more available soon. Look for it in the 'Accounts' tab in Settings.

^^This is nw feature

what u can do is provide them POP3 UN and PAssword

they will download all u r mails into gmail account

joined recently...don't know how to increase post count

can any 1 tell that

yahoo.com doesn't allow pop. yahoo.co.in does. I set it up just on Monday in Lucknow. It is pop.mail.yahoo.co.in and smtp.mail.yahoo.co.in

Read this and I am sure that most of you would leave GMAil like me and this news is directly from google-
Am I receiving someone else's email?

Gmail doesn't recognize dots (.) as characters within a username. This way, you can add and remove dots to your username for desired address variations. messages sent to your.username@gmail.com and y.o.u.r.u.s.e.r.n.a.m.e@gmail.com are delivered to the same inbox, since the characters in the username are the same. Keep in mind that hyphens (-) and underscores (_) can't be used in a Gmail address. Also, usernames are case insensitive, so it doesn't matter if you enter upper case or lower case letters.
If you created your account with a dot in your username and you wish you hadn't, you can change your 'Reply-to address.' To change your reply-to address:

Click 'Settings' at the top of any Gmail page.
Enter your username@gmail.com without a dot in the 'Reply-to address' field.
Click 'Save Changes.'

When you log in to Gmail, you need to enter any dots that were originally defined as part of your username. Note: Google Apps for Your Domain does recognize dots. If you'd like to receive mail with a dot (.) in your username, please ask your domain administrator to add the desired username as a nickname in your user account.

Post count is supposed to be the number of posts you have made until then, i believe. I guess there must have been some error or bug, since luckypayals post count is still zero.

Re: Access other e-mail accounts through Gmail!!

lucky has made posts in bandwidth wastage only till now... hence his post count i zero...

Re: Access other e-mail accounts through Gmail!!

Read my above post its already explained there

I wonder if post count represents social status..I always find it disgusting when users try to increase their count by posting stuff like "Thank u"."nice stuff" and so on..I m nt saying that its wrong to do,bt one shud only do it when the intention behind is noble and u really mean it...across numerous forums I hv seen ppl writing all these lines just to have a better count..A total wastage of memory space..

If u appriciate someones work what u will say buddy
also post count doesn't represent Social status

its just a bias

here we have some geeks whose post count is some 100s
