Collecting mail from different mailboxes on one Gmail account. How to set up mail collection on Yandex from any other mailboxes? All mail in one program
It is now possible to easily and quickly switch between them, without having to log out of one account to log into another.
Well, now working with different boxes has become much more practical, without unnecessary movements. :)
So, in order for us to switch between several accounts in one tab, we will need to link them together. At the moment, you can add 5 accounts to the list.
You can do this from any Yandex mailbox by clicking on your avatar in the upper right corner. And then select the first item in the drop-down list – “Add user”.
To do this, click on the avatar on the right again, and in the drop-down list we see our associated box. Actually, by clicking on it, we will immediately get inside.
We add other accounts in the same way.
If you later need to delete an account, then while you are in it, in the same drop-down list, click on “Exit”. This mail will disappear from the list, and you will switch to the previous one.
This is how convenient it is!
The function is quite new now, I think it will be further developed. It is not yet possible to open different boxes at the same time separate tabs, since when opening we exit the previous mail in both tabs.
Also, if we log in from a different browser, then the emails need to be linked in a new way.
In addition, switching is not available on other Yandex services (Metrica, Webmaster, Direct, etc.). That is, we log in to them in the account in which we currently have mail open.
Yes, if you work with your accounts from someone else’s computer, do not forget to log out of them afterwards. home page Yandex. And refuse when the browser asks you to remember your password.
When you sign out of your account on the main page or in search results, all previously linked accounts will be removed from the list and you will need to log in again.
Well, if you forgot to log out of your mailbox on someone else’s computer, then go to “Passport” (drop-down menu when you click on the avatar). And there click “Log out on all computers”.
I continue a series of articles about the function of collecting mail to one main email box from any others located on any mail services. In the previous article we talked about setting up mail collection on the Yandex service, which is easy to do. And in this article I will talk about how to do the same in another, no less popular service today - Mail.ru, where many people still keep their main mailbox email, despite the fact that, for example, the GMail service has clear advantages (we've talked about setting up mail collection in Gmail). But as they say, to each his own and sometimes it’s just a matter of habit :)
Setting up mail collection in the Mail.ru service is as easy as, for example, in Yandex. Just a few simple steps and everything will be ready, mail will begin to flow from the mailboxes you have connected to one on Mail.
The process of setting up mail collection in the Mail.ru service
First of all, log into your Mail account, where you will collect mail from others electronic mailboxes and open the “Letters” section (mail is located there).
Now you need to go to your mail settings. To do this, click the “More” button at the top and select “Settings”.
You can also open the settings by clicking on your email address in the upper right corner and then selecting “Mail Settings”.
Then go to the “Mail from other mailboxes” section.
The first window for connecting a second email box will open.
Let me remind you that the second email box from which you want to collect letters can be located on any service, not just Mail!
In the example for this article, we will consider connecting a mailbox located on the Yandex service.
In this window you need to specify the login and password for the mail you are connecting. If the mailbox you are connecting to is on one of the services listed below, then click the corresponding button at the top, enter below full address connected mail and click “Add mailbox”:
If the mailbox you want to connect is located on some other service (not from the list above), then click the “Other mail” button at the top, after which you need to enter the full address of the mail you want to connect, the password for it and click “Add mailbox”.
If you have not yet logged into your second email account in this browser, which you are connecting, then in the next window you will need to enter your login and password for it. Example:
After that, click “Allow” (you allow mail on Mail.ru to use some data from the connected second mail).
If everything went as expected, you will receive a message stating that the collector has been added. Now you need to choose which folder to collect mail in: in a specially created folder by the name of the mail you connected or in your inbox. It's up to you to decide, but, in my opinion, it is more convenient when mail collected from another mailbox goes into a separate folder. One way or another, this can then be configured by filtering letters.
The “Apply filters to received emails” option means that all the filters that you have already configured in your main mail on Mail will also apply to mail received from the connected mailbox. It's up to you to turn it off or not.
That's it, the mail collector is set up! Now, within a few minutes (sometimes the process takes longer if there are a lot of letters on the connected mailbox), mail from the second mailbox will begin to flow into your main one.
In this way, you can connect as many mails as you like to collect.
How to separately see all letters from connected mail?
You can view letters separately if, when setting up mail collection in Mail, you specified that letters should be collected in a separate folder with the name of the connected mailbox. In this case, open this folder and see everything necessary letters. Example:
If you did not immediately set up the receipt of letters in a separate folder, you can set it up at any time by opening the created collector (more on this below).
Configuring the created mail collector, disabling and enabling it
Sometimes you may need to make changes to the settings of the mail collector you created, as well as disable it or enable it again.
This can be done in the same place in the “Settings” - “Mail from other mailboxes” section, where you initially created your letter collector.
Here you will see the created faucet. If you need to disable it or enable it again, click on the corresponding switch. If you need to open the collector settings, click “Edit”.
And the same settings for the mail collector will open as at the stage of its creation (see).
Probably only a few have not encountered the problem that their email address They no longer like it or simply don’t need it. But what if there are a large number of contacts associated with the mailbox, which you would not want to lose.
The first solution that might come to mind is to create a new beautiful address and at the same time constantly check the second one. It's complicated. In this case we start creating even more boxes and getting confused with a large number addresses.
There are many inconveniences here: there is a risk of forgetting your password, the address klubnichkapupsik1234@ continues to irritate when you are the director of a serious company, and much more!
There is a solution and it is very simple. And comfortable.
When you have created a box with the perfect address, connect the collection of letters from old mail. You will find all letters from connected mailboxes inside the main mail in folders of the same name. Everything is neat, clear and orderly.
The collector saves time switching from box to box and allows you to move completely to a new address without the fear of leaving someone unanswered.
How to set it up?
Again. It's very simple. We tell you:
- Go to your mailbox settings;
- Select the section “Mail from other mailboxes”;
- Enter the email address and password for the mailbox from which you want to collect letters.
After connecting a new address, you will see it in the general list on the same page.
In this section you can easily manage the collector: pause work, delete or add additional boxes. Collected letters will be stored in separate folder with internal subfolders you created in the old mailbox.
By the way, if you are determined to use a new beautiful address, but you are too lazy to notify everyone who still writes to old mail, set up filtering rules with automatic response from the new address.
To do this, set up a filter and in the “If letters to whom” column indicate your old address. Select the “Reply with message” action. If you indicate the address of the new mailbox in the message, then everyone who writes to the old mailbox will receive a response and will not lose your contacts.
This article will talk about what “mail from other mailboxes” and “collecting letters from other accounts” are. Email service reviews and comparisons.
As we update the functionality of email services, we will publish news at the end of this article.
Mail.ru mail service, search engines Yandex and Google have been offering very useful and necessary functionality for several years now, which allows you to combine all other e-mail accounts in one mail. In other words, you just need to add and configure all your “mails” once, and it will be possible to manage them in one window without constantly entering your login and password.
Mail services offer us a huge place to store all incoming letters, a convenient interface, good functionality on management and much more. To test the capabilities of the listed email services, we will highlight three parameters to evaluate their performance: 1) it is necessary to manage various e-mail accounts, including various services and sites, through one mail client; 2) have personal signature and a name for each mail; 3) delete letters from the servers of those mail accounts that were added to mail, yandex or google mail.
Our task looks like this:
So let's get started. The first to test is the service from Mail.ru, which tells us: “You can collect mail from all your mailboxes into one mailbox on Mail.ru.
Set up the collection of letters from any server running the IMAP or POP3 protocol." To add external mail other than @mail, @inbox, @list, @bk, you need to have at least one mail that already exists on the listed servers from mail. In other words, register your mail first, and then add other mail accounts. The process of registering for an email is simple, there is no point in describing it, but adding other emails to this mail account we'll describe it.
Next, you will be asked to enter the login and password for any mailbox you use, and within 3-5 minutes, the “Mail Collector from mail” will create a folder with the name of the added mail next to the “inbox”, “sent”, “spam” and other.
In fact, the letter collector will work within 10-15 minutes and will add all letters to the newly created folder from the mailbox you specified. All incoming letters for the new e-mail will be sent to this folder, and it will also be possible to send letters from the attached mailbox. When creating a new letter, the “From” field will appear, in which you can select from which mailbox the letter will be sent.
The advantages of the Mail.ru mail service include the ease of adding and ease of setting up other mailboxes, and the absence of the need to specify different protocols (POP3, SMTP). This is very important because not every user knows what it is.
The disadvantages of Mail.ru are that it is impossible to assign a name and signature for each newly added mail (any new e-mail except the main one), that is, the name and signature of the main mail will apply to each address and that’s it. Another big disadvantage is that when downloading letters to mail there is no option automatic deletion original letters from the attached mailbox server. Why is it so important to delete emails from the server of an added mailbox? This will avoid filling out the attached mail, because... External email accounts are usually too small to store emails. For example, if the mail space in your external account is full, Mail.ru will not display any new messages until you enter the external mail interface and delete messages directly from there to free up space. In addition, we link mail to Mail in the hope of getting a lot of storage space for our mail, which may be limited by hosting resources. Thus, despite the fact that Mail.ru offers almost unlimited mailbox capacity, when adding mail from another domain zone (for example, [email protected]), your resources for the added e-mail will not increase in Mail.ru, but will continue to be limited by hosting resources (in our case, primer.ru resources).
The ability to add another mail to the Mail service did not satisfy our task on two points out of three, with a total of one point.
True, Mail.ru has another way to add external mail, or more precisely, connect or log in to external mail. It looks like this:
This method is not suitable for our task, because This is not a mail collector, but a user mode that connects to mail and loads all folders and letters into the mail interface every time. But here it is possible to add a personal signature and name for each mail, it is possible to send letters from the configured mail. Deleting emails from loaded mailboxes does not work because... This is not a mail collector.
Important! Some users mistakenly think that if letters are displayed in mail, then the mail from which the download occurred can be cleared. Let us note once again that Mail.ru works as a mail viewer, and if you clear your mail, it will be deleted both in the main mailbox and in mail.
The second test subject is Yandex with his letter collector. The tasks are similar: collect mail, assign a signature and name to each mail, and also delete all mail from the added mailbox.
The Yandex mail collector is configured according to a similar scheme, but if the mail connection occurs from some site, for example site.ru, then you will need to register additional settings, see screenshot.
The Mail service did this work for us, but Yandex offers to manually set all the settings from third-party mail. There is nothing complicated here: in the login field, enter the full name of the mail ( [email protected]), in the server field we enter only the domain (site.ru), it is better to leave all other settings as default, or change them if you know what you are doing. After successfully adding mail, the following message will appear:
Unlike the Mail collector, Yandex offers you to choose whether to save the original letters in the added mailbox or not. In all other respects, the letter collector from Yandex works in a similar way to Mail.ru; you can select the mailbox from which to send the letter. But Yandex has the same problem with signing letters: it is not possible to set an individual name and signature for each added mailbox.
Judging by the navigation, it is possible to add an individual signature for each mailbox, but in reality it does not work. Select your email, enter your name and signature, and click save. That's it, the signature is saved and works, but it is also saved for all other mailboxes, that is, by assigning a name and signature to one mailbox, you automatically change these parameters in all mail combined in Yandex. Even if you select any other box, the signature will now be the same everywhere.
In total, Yandex has successfully coped with the collection and sorting of mail, it can delete original letters from the added mailbox, but it cannot work with signatures! The Yandex email collector failed to cope with our task and scores two points out of three.
I would like to note that, having delved into all three services for assembling letters, it seems that Mail has whipped up its functionality. Although it will satisfy most users, to be honest, Mail made a mail collector for show, to show off in the competitive race. Everything works well and without failures, but the collector from Mail could not cope with our task. The mail interface has several advertising blocks, but they do not interfere with working with letters.
As for Yandex, which created a mail collector a long time ago, it seems that this particular industry is not being supported, because fixing such a simple functionality (the ability to add multiple signatures for mailboxes) should not be difficult for such a powerful search engine. However, Yandex now has another unique functionality that allows you to link domains to their dns servers, and subsequently create and configure mail. But such operations and settings require knowledge and time. And although there is nothing complicated there, in any case, it is not for most RuNet users. Big plus— no advertising in the Yandex mail interface! Minus— limit in the letter collector to 10 mailboxes.
The finalist and winner is the email collector from Google, which coped with our task with a bang, despite 5 box limit
We have created our own top ten email programs, in which we describe in detail each presented in this list application.
So, let's go.
