What to do after adding an extra mail account
After adding an extra mail account to your Gmail account, you can:
- Access all your email accounts from one place: You can switch between your primary Gmail account and the extra account using the dropdown menu at the top of the page.
- Send and receive emails from both accounts: You can send and receive emails from both accounts using the same Gmail interface.
- Manage your email accounts: You can manage your email accounts, including setting up filters, labels, and notifications, from the Gmail settings page.
Note: If you're adding an account that uses a different email provider (e.g. Yahoo, Outlook), you may need to set up additional settings, such as POP3 or IMAP settings, to access your emails.
