Merging two Gmail accounts can be a bit tricky, but it's doable. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you merge two Gmail accounts:

Before you start:

  1. Make sure you have access to both Gmail accounts and that you're the owner of both accounts.
  2. Be aware that merging accounts will delete the secondary account and all its data, including emails, contacts, and labels.

Method 1: Merge accounts using the Gmail settings

  1. Sign in to the primary Gmail account (the one you want to keep).
  2. Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner and select "See all settings."
  3. Scroll down to the "Accounts and Import" tab.
  4. Click on "Add a POP3 mail account" or "Add another email address you own."
  5. Enter the email address of the secondary account you want to merge.
  6. Click "Next" and follow the prompts to verify the account.
  7. Once verified, click "Merge" to merge the accounts.

Method 2: Merge accounts using the Google Account settings

  1. Sign in to the primary Gmail account (the one you want to keep).
  2. Go to the Google Account settings page by clicking on your profile picture in the upper right corner and selecting "Google Account."
  3. Scroll down to the "Data & personalization" section.
  4. Click on "Download, delete, or make a plan for your data."
  5. Click on "Delete a Google service or your account."
  6. Select the secondary account you want to merge and click "Delete."
  7. Follow the prompts to confirm the deletion.

After merging:

  1. All emails from the secondary account will be moved to the primary account.
  2. Contacts from the secondary account will be merged with the contacts in the primary account.
  3. Labels and filters from the secondary account will be deleted.
  4. Any other data, such as calendar events or Google Drive files, will not be merged.
