How to download mails from other accounts in gmail

Gmail allows you to forward emails from other accounts to your Gmail account, but it doesn't have a built-in feature to download emails from other accounts directly. However, there are a few workarounds to achieve this:

Method 1: Forwarding emails

  1. Log in to the other email account you want to download emails from.
  2. Go to the account settings and look for the "Forwarding" or "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" settings.
  3. Enable forwarding and set the forwarding address to your Gmail address.
  4. Set the forwarding option to "Forward a copy of incoming mail" or "Forward all incoming mail".
  5. Save the changes.

Now, emails from the other account will be forwarded to your Gmail account. You can then access these emails in your Gmail account.

Method 2: POP3 or IMAP

  1. Log in to the other email account you want to download emails from.
  2. Go to the account settings and look for the "POP3" or "IMAP" settings.
  3. Enable POP3 or IMAP and set the server settings to connect to your Gmail account.
  4. Set the username and password to your Gmail account credentials.
  5. Save the changes.

Now, you can use a third-party email client or a browser extension to connect to the other account using POP3 or IMAP and download emails to your Gmail account.

Method 3: Third-party email clients or browser extensions

  1. Install a third-party email client like Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, or a browser extension like Mail Fetcher or Check Mail.
  2. Set up the email client or browser extension to connect to the other email account using POP3 or IMAP.
  3. Configure the email client or browser extension to download emails from the other account to your Gmail account.

Method 4: Using a Gmail add-on

  1. Install a Gmail add-on like "Email Forwarder" or "Mail Fetcher" from the Google Workspace Marketplace.
  2. Configure the add-on to connect to the other email account using POP3 or IMAP.
  3. Set up the add-on to download emails from the other account to your Gmail account.

Please note that some email providers may have restrictions on forwarding or downloading emails, so be sure to check their terms of service before attempting to download emails from other accounts.
