Can google & chrome work with mail instead of gmail

Yes, Google and Chrome can work with other email providers besides Gmail. Here's how:

Google:

  1. Google Mail (Gmail) is not the only email service supported by Google: Google offers a feature called "Google Mail" that allows you to use other email providers with Google services, such as Google Drive, Google Photos, and Google Calendar. You can set up your non-Gmail email account as a "Google Mail" account, which will allow you to use Google services with your existing email address.
  2. Google Apps: Google Apps is a suite of productivity software that includes Gmail, Google Drive, Google Docs, and more. While Gmail is the default email client in Google Apps, you can use other email providers with Google Apps by setting up a "custom domain" and configuring your email settings.

Chrome:

  1. Chrome supports multiple email providers: Chrome allows you to set up multiple email accounts, including non-Gmail accounts, in the Chrome browser. You can do this by going to Settings > Accounts > Add new account, and selecting your email provider from the list.
  2. Chrome extensions: There are many Chrome extensions available that allow you to use other email providers with Chrome, such as Microsoft Outlook, Yahoo Mail, or AOL Mail. These extensions can integrate your email account with Chrome, allowing you to access your email from the browser.

How to set up non-Gmail email accounts with Google and Chrome:

  1. Google Mail: To set up a non-Gmail email account with Google, go to the Google Mail settings page, click on "Add account", and select "Other email provider". Follow the prompts to enter your email account details and set up your account.
  2. Chrome: To set up a non-Gmail email account with Chrome, go to Settings > Accounts > Add new account, and select your email provider from the list. Follow the prompts to enter your email account details and set up your account.

By setting up your non-Gmail email account with Google and Chrome, you can use these services with your existing email address, without having to switch to Gmail.
