Gmail isn’t just a typical webmail system — it’s a full-fledged email client that can consolidate all your email addresses in one place. Get all your emails in a single Gmail inbox and send emails from any address.
Whether your other email accounts are also Gmail addresses or not, Gmail has you covered. Between email forwarding and Gmail’s Mail Fetcher and Send As features, Gmail is a capable email client.
To merge Gmail accounts, the first step is to set up Email Forwarding.
Forwarding ensures email reaches your main inbox immediately. If your email service doesn’t have a forwarding feature, don’t worry — you can use Gmail’s Mail Fetcher to fetch mail over the standard POP3 protocol.
Log into the Gmail account from which you’d like to forward email. In practice, this would be a secondary email account that you use less. All of the email from this account will be funneled into another email account, likely your primary account checked much more frequently.
Note: In this tutorial, I’m forwarding email from one Gmail account to another, but Gmail can forward to any email service. You'll learn the workflow of how to merge two gmail accounts into one inbox.
Step 1 : In the secondary Gmail account, click the gear icon to the right and select Settings.Locate Gmail's settings.
Step 2 : Click the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab and locate the Forwarding settings.
Step 3 : Click Add a Forwarding Address. The Add a Forwarding Address popup displays:
Step 4 : Enter the email address that will receive your forwarded email. Click Next to continue. The Confirm forwarding address popup displays:
Step 5 : A popup displays reminding you that Gmail is verifying your forwarding Gmail address. Click OK. Gmail sends a verification email to the primary email address entered.
Step 6 : In the confirmation email, you’ll find a confirmation code and confirmation link.
Step 7 : Enter the confirmation code in the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab in the secondary Gmail account, or click the confirmation link in the email.
Gmail prompts you to confirm that mail will be forwarded.
Click Confirm. And then you'll get a final confirmation success email that follows, letting you know the forwarding is now properly setup. The secondary Gmail account is now forwarding to the primary email address.
