Title: Not sure if this is the right forum: looking for an email program
Post by: HL on April 04, 2008, 02:21:36 pm
SO YEAH basically I have like 50 email accounts (I......am not joking......) and it has (after all this time for sure) grown tedious to check them all at once, so I have my own schedule for checking them periodically. Instead, I was wondering if there was some REALLY AWESOME (free) program or site that lets you enter a ton of email information, and forwards all emails from that email to this 1 account. I know Gmail can forward all emails it receives to other accounts, but I have other email accounts as well.


IDK if this exists but I figure since it makes perfect sense it probably exists.

What you want isn't really possible.  The program would have to have access to the e-mail server of your e-mail providers in order to pull the e-mail and then forward it.  I'm sure the majority of your providers though would have to have some sort of e-mail forwarding service like gmail.  I would just look for that for all your providers.

You can configure gmail to receive email from other mail accounts. So you can have gmail load in the emails from your other 49 accounts and label them or whatever. I did that with my university emails, so I can check all my email right in gmail.

Yea, you are right, I just looked at that.  The only catch is that the e-mail provider has to all you POP access in order for gmail to get it.  I would assume that most e-mail providers these days would allow you POP access, even the free ones.

Oh wow thanks Leafo, I didn't even notice it worked the other way around too, haha.
