How to use Gmail to manage all your email?

• If you find it difficult managing multiple email accounts, or
• If your webmail application is very slow and tedious, or
• If you store and manage all your email on one computer, or
• If you find backing up your email difficult, or
• If you’re having trouble filtering spam, or
• If you can’t quickly find the mail you’re looking for,

Consider using Gmail to manage all your email accounts. Get yourself a Gmail account.

Here’s how to configure it to easily manage all your email:

• Login to Gmail.
• In Settings/Accounts & Import add your email accounts to the ‘Check Mail Using POP3′ section so that Gmail will fetch email from all of your email accounts. Some email services like Hotmail may not allow you to fetch email. (You can fetch email from up to 5 other email accounts, sufficient to accommodate most people.)
• In Settings/Accounts & Import add your email accounts to the ‘Send mail as’ section so that you can send email from all of your email accounts.

Now all of your email will arrive in your Gmail account and you can reply from any of your email addresses. Google takes care of backing up your email and filtering your spam. Access your Gmail account from any computer connected to the Internet.

Use Gmail’s features to manage your email correspondence:

• setup filters to automatically sort your email
• use the label feature to create your own personal filing system
• create your own email signature
• vacation notices are easy to create and activate
• use Google’s famous search technology to find anything in your email
• Gmail filters out most spam
• With 7 GB of storage space (and increasing) most people will never have to delete an email ever; just archive all your mail for future reference
