Can gmail get mail from other accounts

Yes, Gmail can receive emails from other accounts. Here are a few ways to do this:

  1. Forwarding: You can set up forwarding rules in your other email account to forward emails to your Gmail account. This way, emails sent to your other account will be automatically forwarded to your Gmail account.
  2. POP3/IMAP: Most email providers allow you to access your account using POP3 (Post Office Protocol version 3) or IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) protocols. You can set up your Gmail account to retrieve emails from your other account using these protocols. This way, emails will be downloaded from your other account to your Gmail account.
  3. SMTP: Some email providers allow you to send emails from your other account using Gmail's SMTP server. This way, you can send emails from your other account using Gmail's server.
  4. Third-party email clients: You can use third-party email clients like Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, or Apple Mail to access your other email account and forward emails to your Gmail account.
