we have gotten a lot of requests for a video about this how to use one email
signin to manage multiple email accounts
so slick put together a little tutorial it's actually not as hard as you might
think so we're going to be using Gmail for our example but these steps should
be pretty similar in other email
accounts although pretty much the reason we're using Gmail to manage all the
email accounts is cu it's pretty much what you should be doing so you go into
settings then you go to accounts and import so see I would have gone to
something like forward and pop SL iMat but that's actually if you want to go
the other way around so we're going to be using accounts and import we're going to add another email address you own so
in this case we want the name for anything that we send from that other
email address to be still slick PC so that's fine and the email address is
going to be slick PCT test hop see if you can tell we've done this before at
hotmail.com these two don't really matter because you can edit this one
later and that is pretty much it so next
step send through Gmail so this is easier to set up it doesn't make that
much of a difference so yeah we're just going to do it that way before you can
send mail all you have to do is verify that you actually own that other email
address which is sort of important so we send a verification over there an email
has been sent with a confirmation code then we check over here Gmail
confirmation send mail as blah blah blah here's your confirmation code enter that
into the other window which I have lost
there we go
verify and that's not quite it so okay
here we can change these options again so all that's fine so we can go back to
our inbox but you actually have to set up the other email account to forward as
well so you just go into more mail settings email forwarding and forward
your to another email account so slick PCT test gmail.com and then you can tell
it if you want to keep a copy of the forwarded messages in your outlook inbox
I probably would doesn't seem like a bad idea okay the next thing we have to do
is go into Internet Explorer where we had set up a test email sending to Slick
PCT test hotmail.com and I minimized it excellent
so we're going to send that and go back to Firefox where we can see in our Gmail
inbox we have no new mail we have no new
mail we have new mail there we go now what we
do is we send back sort of blah blah
blah blah and we can change who we're sending
it from so we can either send it from Hotmail which is the default because
this was sent to the Hotmail account or we can actually send it from the Gmail
account that we're using so we're going to send it from Hotmail back to this
Gmail account blah blah blah blah and you can see that when you click down
here it is coming from the hotmail.com account so that's that's it it's that
simple pretty cool hey let's see if it's
uh oh didn't save in sent but it does keep the uh it does keep the original
one in here I hope this was helpful and
guys something to be aware of is forwarding the emails and sending emails
from that account does not necessarily qualify as signing in so if your email
provider has terms such as you know make sure you sign in once every year or once
every 200 70 days or whatever it happens to be you actually have to sign in once
in a while so I would set up a calendar reminder for yourself or something
