How to add mail.com to gmail

To add a mail.com account to your Gmail account, you'll need to set up a third-party email account in your Gmail settings. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you do so:

Prerequisites:

1. You have a Gmail account.
2. You have a mail.com account (e.g., @mail.com, @freenet.de, @t-online.de, etc.).

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Sign in to your Gmail account: Go to the Gmail website and sign in to your account.
2. Click on the gear icon: In the upper right corner of the Gmail page, click on the gear icon () and select See all settings.
3. Go to the Accounts and Import tab: In the Settings page, click on the Accounts and Import tab.
4. Click on Add a POP3 mail account: In the Check mail from other accounts section, click on Add a POP3 mail account.
5. Enter your mail.com account details:
   • Email address: Enter your mail.com email address (e.g., [email protected]).
   • Password: Enter your mail.com account password.
   • POP3 Server: Enter pop.mail.com (without quotes).
   • Port: Enter 110 (without quotes).
   • Username: Enter your mail.com email address (e.g., [email protected]).
6. Click on Add account: Click on the Add account button to add your mail.com account to your Gmail account.
7. Set up the account: You may need to set up the account by clicking on the Next button and then following the prompts to set up the account.

Tips and Variations:

• If you're using a mail.com account with a different domain (e.g., @freenet.de), you may need to use a different POP3 server and port. Check your mail.com account settings for the correct information.
• If you're having trouble setting up your mail.com account, you can try using the IMAP protocol instead of POP3. To do this, go to the Accounts and Import tab, click on Add a mail account, and select IMAP instead of POP3.
• Once you've set up your mail.com account, you can access your mail.com emails from your Gmail account by clicking on the Inbox tab and selecting the mail.com account from the list of accounts.

By following these steps, you should be able to add your mail.com account to your Gmail account and access your mail.com emails from your Gmail inbox.
