WEBVTT

00:00:07.680 --> 00:00:16.160
we have gotten a lot of requests for a video about this how to use one email

00:00:12.920 --> 00:00:18.359
signin to manage multiple email accounts

00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:22.400
so slick put together a little tutorial it's actually not as hard as you might

00:00:20.720 --> 00:00:27.320
think so we're going to be using Gmail for our example but these steps should

00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:28.920
be pretty similar in other email

00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:32.480
accounts although pretty much the reason we're using Gmail to manage all the

00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:36.559
email accounts is cu it's pretty much what you should be doing so you go into

00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:41.120
settings then you go to accounts and import so see I would have gone to

00:00:39.040 --> 00:00:43.520
something like forward and pop SL iMat but that's actually if you want to go

00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:50.199
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

00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:54.399
in this case we want the name for anything that we send from that other

00:00:51.800 --> 00:00:59.079
email address to be still slick PC so that's fine and the email address is

00:00:56.440 --> 00:01:03.160
going to be slick PCT test hop see if you can tell we've done this before at

00:01:01.239 --> 00:01:08.479
hotmail.com these two don't really matter because you can edit this one

00:01:04.960 --> 00:01:10.640
later and that is pretty much it so next

00:01:08.479 --> 00:01:14.960
step send through Gmail so this is easier to set up it doesn't make that

00:01:12.479 --> 00:01:19.560
much of a difference so yeah we're just going to do it that way before you can

00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:23.000
send mail all you have to do is verify that you actually own that other email

00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:27.119
address which is sort of important so we send a verification over there an email

00:01:25.240 --> 00:01:30.759
has been sent with a confirmation code then we check over here Gmail

00:01:28.600 --> 00:01:37.720
confirmation send mail as blah blah blah here's your confirmation code enter that

00:01:34.320 --> 00:01:39.640
into the other window which I have lost

00:01:37.720 --> 00:01:44.840
there we go

00:01:41.520 --> 00:01:46.520
verify and that's not quite it so okay

00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:50.560
here we can change these options again so all that's fine so we can go back to

00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:55.680
our inbox but you actually have to set up the other email account to forward as

00:01:53.560 --> 00:02:01.520
well so you just go into more mail settings email forwarding and forward

00:01:59.479 --> 00:02:06.520
your to another email account so slick PCT test gmail.com and then you can tell

00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:10.479
it if you want to keep a copy of the forwarded messages in your outlook inbox

00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:14.400
I probably would doesn't seem like a bad idea okay the next thing we have to do

00:02:12.720 --> 00:02:18.640
is go into Internet Explorer where we had set up a test email sending to Slick

00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:23.519
PCT test hotmail.com and I minimized it excellent

00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:29.239
so we're going to send that and go back to Firefox where we can see in our Gmail

00:02:26.200 --> 00:02:30.599
inbox we have no new mail we have no new

00:02:29.239 --> 00:02:37.480
mail we have new mail there we go now what we

00:02:33.519 --> 00:02:38.480
do is we send back sort of blah blah

00:02:37.480 --> 00:02:43.400
blah blah and we can change who we're sending

00:02:41.480 --> 00:02:47.280
it from so we can either send it from Hotmail which is the default because

00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:50.720
this was sent to the Hotmail account or we can actually send it from the Gmail

00:02:49.640 --> 00:02:56.920
account that we're using so we're going to send it from Hotmail back to this

00:02:54.640 --> 00:03:01.360
Gmail account blah blah blah blah and you can see that when you click down

00:02:58.480 --> 00:03:06.799
here it is coming from the hotmail.com account so that's that's it it's that

00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:08.920
simple pretty cool hey let's see if it's

00:03:06.799 --> 00:03:15.599
uh oh didn't save in sent but it does keep the uh it does keep the original

00:03:11.920 --> 00:03:17.840
one in here I hope this was helpful and

00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:21.840
guys something to be aware of is forwarding the emails and sending emails

00:03:19.760 --> 00:03:26.920
from that account does not necessarily qualify as signing in so if your email

00:03:24.239 --> 00:03:31.680
provider has terms such as you know make sure you sign in once every year or once

00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:35.879
every 200 70 days or whatever it happens to be you actually have to sign in once

00:03:33.720 --> 00:03:38.840
in a while so I would set up a calendar reminder for yourself or something

00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:45.480
