Click Add Account, check Yes, I want to be able to send mail as (that address), and click Next Step.

I also suggest using SSL (I'm repeating myself), and label the messages with your ISP account's address, which makes it easy to tell at a glance where the message was originally sent. Add mail from your POP3 account to your Gmail inbox by providing the account settings.Ĭhances are you'll want to access your mail from any PC, so check Leave a copy of retrieved message on the server. If your PC uses Windows and you're using SSL to connect (which I recommend), the port will be 995 ( 110 if you aren't using SSL). your ISP's URL check with your ISP if it's otherwise. Enter the ISP account's user name and password, and the POP server address and port. Select Add another mail account next to 'Get mail from other accounts,' enter your ISP mail address, and click Next Step. I'll describe how to configure this on Monday. If it uses IMAP, you can centralize things by forwarding your Gmail messages to your ISP-supplied address. To receive mail addressed to your ISP account in your Gmail inbox, your ISP must use POP3.

Click Settings in the top-right corner of your inbox, and then choose Accounts. Start by logging into your Gmail account, or if you don't already have one, sign up here. I can even reply or send new messages in Gmail as if they came from the address my ISP supplied. I get the messages delivered to my Gmail account automatically, which allows me to read the mail on any PC with an Internet connection. I haven't checked my ISP mail inbox for about six months, but that doesn't mean I'm out of touch.
