Switching from one tab with Gmail to another with Yandex.Mail is quite tedious. What if you have ten accounts with different mail providers, the morning check of new correspondence turns into torture at all. By combining letters in one place, you will get rid of this inconvenience.
Web interface
Most providers Email provide a built-in function for collecting letters from several mailboxes. For example, let's try to collect letters from all your mailboxes in one Gmail account.
First of all, make sure that the mail service where you want to pick up mail from has POP access. Then go to your Gmail settings and click "Settings" on the right upper corner. Go to the "Accounts" tab and find the "Receive mail from other accounts" section.
Add an account, enter your email address and click Next, then enter your password. To make the exchange of mail between providers more secure, make sure that the option "Always use a secure connection (SSL) when receiving mail" is enabled. Then click on "Add Account".
Now letters coming to the added address will be automatically collected in your Gmail Inbox. You can add as many email addresses as you need.
Desktop clients
Email needs software. Yes, you can do a lot in webmail (sometimes a lot more than Google currently allows you to do in Gmail). But the web interface cannot be compared with a native application. Even the most modern Web UI is a bottleneck in working with mail.
Rafe Needleman, Cnet.com
Desktop email clients are good because they can aggregate emails from multiple accounts. At the same time, you can work with dozens of addresses and not even think about which provider stores this or that message.
Most desktop email clients have a built-in shared inbox. Even if your favorite client only supports separate inboxes, you can still easily pull them all together with smart filters.
Even though Outlook is designed to manage multiple mailboxes at the same time, it still displays a separate Inbox for each account. But this can be easily fixed with filters.
Open Outlook, go to the "Folders" tab and click "Create Search Folder" on the toolbar. Then select "Create a custom search folder". Click on "Select", but do not select search criteria so that all new messages are sent to the folder. Name the folder whatever you like, such as All Mail.
Click on "Browse", select all the folders and mailboxes from which you want to collect mail, and check the "Search in subfolders" option.
Now, in the smart folder you created, messages from all the mail accounts you added in Outlook will appear. You can turn on the "Display in favorites" option so that your new mail was always in sight.
Mail Mac client provides a single folder for incoming emails from all connected accounts. Just add your accounts and all new emails will be collected in one place.
It's very easy to collect all your emails in one inbox in Thunderbird. Go to the View menu (if the menu bar is not visible, press Alt). Then choose "Folders" → "Combined". You will now have one Inbox for new emails, one Drafts folder, one Sent Items folder, and one Archive. You don't have to look for what's where. In this case, messages will, as before, be stored on the servers of your mail providers.
Mobile clients
The unified Inbox is available in many mobile email clients, including Gmail. The Gmail app collects your inbox from all email accounts, including Yahoo, Outlook, or other services.
If you don't like the Google app, you can try third-party email clients like Outlook or MyMail.
Maybe you have your own ideas on how to group mail in one place? Share in the comments.
Today it is perhaps the most popular mail services. And we, when considering this or that resource, casually stipulated that each mailbox can be connected to a different postal address from another service.
After all, it is not always convenient to go to each mailbox and check mail. Therefore, for convenience, the possibility of adding a mailbox to an existing address was created. Then all mail will be collected in one place, in one mailbox. Today we will just learn how to organize the collection of mail from other boxes.
Let's start with Mail.ru
How to add a mailbox to Mail ru
The mail ru mail service provides the ability to add a third-party mailbox to your main one.
In order to add another mailbox, go to your main mail ru mail account and click on your address at the top right
And click on the button to add a mail box».
After entering the data, press " To come in».
As a result of our actions, a folder appeared with our first and last name, and letters from Yandex mail will be delivered there. And you will no longer need to go to the mailbox from Yandex to check new mail.
Now we will do something similar in Yandex mail.
How to add a mailbox to Yandex?
To add a mailbox from another mail service in the Yandex system, we also go to our Yandex mail account
And click on the gear icon and select " Collection of mail from other mailboxes».
Go to "Settings" Mail collection". Now we will add a box from mail ru. We enter our email box, the password to it and click " Enable collector»
In the next step, you can add a label to emails from Mail. All letters from mail service will go to your inbox. Old emails should be marked as read. Next, enter the password again and click " Save Changes».
That's it, we have connected an additional mailbox to Yandex mail. If in the future you no longer want to receive letters from the connected mailbox, you can turn it off at any time.
Other boxes can be added in the same way.
To switch between the main and added boxes, use the main menu, then select the box you need.
How to add a mailbox to Gmail?
mail from Google also allows you to connect an additional 5 mailboxes.
And select the item ""
Go to the tab " Accounts and Import"and click on the link" Add a mail account»
In a new window, enter the address of the box that we will add. Click " Farther».
Then, in turn, specify the password for the mailbox being added, then change the POP server to pop3.mail. en. Check the box that controls whether copies of received emails are stored on the server. This will be your insurance in case something happens to Google account your letters will be stored on the mail ru server. For the convenience of recognizing which mailbox the letter came to, add a label to all incoming letters from mail ru
After that, press " Add account».
On the next page, we do not change anything, except that you can set your own Username. Enter the password for the mailbox and click " Add account».
After that, an email with a confirmation code will be sent to your added mailbox. You can confirm in two ways: follow the link in the letter or copy the code from the letter and paste it into the field. Press " Confirm».
Now the settings have changed. As you can see below in the screenshot, our add-on mailing address has appeared, which can be changed or deleted.
You can also set the default box from mail ru to send letters by clicking on the appropriate link.
And now the letters from the mail ru box have successfully arrived in the box from Google. As you can see, all letters are marked with a label that we set in the process of adding a mailbox.
And when creating a new letter, you can choose from which mailbox you want to send the letter.
Also, to collect letters in one place, you can use special programs- mail clients. The most popular is " The Bat ". But this program paid. Among the free Mozilla Thunderbird . About what, read on our website.
Write in the comments if you use mail clients or a letter collector, as we have described today.
And let me finish with this. Good luck and success to all of you!
We must strive not to be understood by everyone, but to ensure that we cannot be misunderstood.
Many users use e-mail, in the form in which it is presented immediately after registration, without making any settings. If you use Yandex.Mail and do not make any settings, then I suggest you read the post to the end, I'm sure you will find something useful for yourself!
As you already understood, we will talk about e-mail, which is provided by the well-known Russian IT company Yandex. As part of this post, I will talk about the basic Yandex.Mail settings that will allow more convenient and efficient to use her " WEBinterface»
To get into the Yandex.Mail settings, enter your mail and on the left under the folders there is a not very noticeable “Settings” link, this is what you need. After you go to the mail settings, there will be navigation through the settings on the left.
As I said above, we will talk about the basic mail settings from Yandex. And I don’t see the point in considering everything in a row, or I just think some of them are not particularly necessary.
By the way, Yandex.Mail has an excellent and free, let’s say, opportunity to connect your own domain and get a mailbox like “ [email protected]' and at the same time use WEB interface Yandex mail!
If someone does not understand, then in simple terms, it turns out that everyone who wants has the opportunity to start Yandex mail, but already in the place of the usual " yandex. en» will have its own domain. Great idea in my opinion, what do you think?
Of course, you can use the mail service of your hosting provider and get a mailbox with your domain. I don't usually use these hosting services for some reason.If you are interested, how to connect your domain to Yandex mail , then do not miss it, in one of the following posts I will tell you how to do it! without leaving the page.
Yandex.Mail settings
Let's return to the topic of the post and take a look at the main mail settings in order, how to use them, and what they are for.
Sender Information : This section is worth paying attention to if you want the recipients of your mail to see your photo. You can write your own unique signature, which the recipient will see at the bottom of your letter. And also choose from which address your letters will be sent.
To upload your photo, click the "Upload portrait" button and select a previously prepared picture or your photo.
If you do not have a photo at hand, you can take a picture with a webcam. A little higher, on the same page, you can enter your name in the field " Your name» now the recipients of your letters will see your photo.
In the same section, you can change the sender's address, or rather its domain. I think it will be useful if you live not in Russia, but, for example, in Ukraine. In this case, you can change “yandex.ru” to “yandex.ua” (Like the Ukrainian zone, to be honest, I don’t really understand this) or choose a shorter “ya.ru”
If you change this parameter to "yandex.ua", then letters will come from the address "Your name@ yandex.ua" As a resident of the Russian Federation, it makes no sense for me to change anything, and I leave it as it was!
And the last of this section is the signature. Here you can specify, for example, contact information, in addition to the email address, ICQ number, site address and others that you see fit. The signature can be formatted as you like, change the color of the text and stuff like that.
You can create several such signatures, for example, each address has its own unique signature. Now this signature will always be displayed at the end of every email I send!
Collection of mail from other mailboxes : If you have other mailboxes, and you use them, then you can rake all the mail from them into one box. This is done quite simply. You must enter your email address and password in the appropriate fields.
After turning on the picker, just save the settings without touching any labels, etc. More on this below. Now all letters from the address " [email protected]"I'll be coming to" [email protected]“sometimes it’s convenient, you don’t need to constantly go to the first box to check it ...
Folders and tags : In my opinion, this is the most interesting and necessary for convenient operation with mail setting. You can create a folder with a name such as "Important Letters" and collect letters from an address that is important to you in this folder.
After the folder is created, select it with one click right button mouse and click the "Create Rule" button, this form will open.
Fill in the "From" field, specify the E-Mail address in it. In my case, from the address " [email protected]» All emails will end up in the "Important emails" folder. Due to this, it will be more difficult to lose important emails, if they get to all emails in the "Inbox" folder, they will easily be lost among spam.
As for "tags" then here, you can create different labels for different addresses, for example, let's create an "Important" label and give it a red color. To do this, click on the "New Label" button.
After creating a label, it can be edited if you need to change the color or name of the label, and most importantly, set rules for the label, just like with folders.
Select the label and click the button " Create rule"Then specify the address to which you want to assign this label. I indicated the same [email protected]» Now letters from this address will be sent to the folder "Important letters" and they will be marked with the label "Important" it looks like this:
Agree, such a letter will be difficult to lose or delete unread?
In general, with the help of labels and folders, you can put an incredible order in your mail. For example, I have a “Blog Subscriptions” folder where I add newsletters from blogs to which I subscribe with different tags “Vasya’s Blog” and others ... Thus, it is much easier for me to rake and read all the newsletters.
Mail handling rules : In this section you have the possibility to add addresses email boxes blacklisted and whitelisted. If you got "Spamer" or various incomprehensible mailings and other spam, then add the addresses to the black list.
To remove an address from the black list, if it was added by mistake, mark it with a checkmark and click the "Remove from the list" button. Letters from other addresses will not reach you.
If the emails end up in spam and you do not agree with this, then use the white list and add the addresses that end up in spam to it.
Addresses that are in the white list will go to the "Inbox" folder, bypassing the "Spam" folder
Safety : There is a great opportunity with which you can bind your number mobile phone to Yandex.Mail. This is needed for two things. In case of loss of the password from the mail, it can be easily restored via SMS. And to all this, you will receive another email address of this kind "Your phone [email protected]". Such an address is much easier to communicate, for example by telephone.
It's much easier to dictate your number than it is to explain how to spell your email address.
To link the number to the mail, do the following. On the "Security" page, click on the link " Phone numbers» on the next page, enter your mobile phone number through "+7"
On the next page, enter the verification code and Current Password from mail.
Then click the confirm button. On this, the phone number will be linked to your mail, and you can already use the new box "[email protected]"
As for other Yandex.Mail settings, here you can note the possibility remove ads from mail. To do this, simply uncheck the boxes on the page " Other options» I don’t touch other settings, or I don’t need them!
This concludes my post on setting up Yandex.Mail, thank you for your attention. I hope you have learned from this thread useful information and questions about setting up Yandex.Mail will no longer bother you.
Do not forget, as I said above, I will write a post on how to “attach” your domain to mail from Yandex.If it is not possible to automatically configure the connection between the collector and the server
The first mail collection will occur within a few minutes after you set up the collector. The collector contacts another mail server from several times per hour to once every few days. You cannot manually set or change the collection time. It depends on the protocol used (POP3 or IMAP), as well as on the features of the server from which the mail is collected. That is why letters may arrive with a delay.
Collect mail from another mailbox on Yandex
Collect new letters
If you want to collect mail from your other Yandex mailbox, you can set up a forwarding rule in it. After confirming the rule, all new messages will be redirected to your current mailbox.
Take old mail
To collect old emails from another mailbox on Yandex:
Choose a folder for collecting letters
Confirm deletion.
Edit collector settings
To disable the collector, go to the Mail Collection page and click the off link.
If the collector is no longer needed, click on the name of the collector and then on the Delete link.
Write a letter on behalf of the connected mailbox
If you want the recipient's email to come from your email address on another service (for example, Gmail or Mail.Ru), add this address on the Email Addresses page and confirm access to it. After confirmation, you will be able to select in the From field not only an alias of your Yandex address, but also an email address on another service.
Attention. If you add a mailbox address on another mail service, set up the collection of letters from it to a mailbox on Yandex. Without a configured collector, sending letters from such an address will not work. When setting up the collector, instead of a login, specify the address in full, for example [email protected].
If, even with a correctly configured collector, you cannot send letters from an address on another mail service, this means that the security rules of this service prohibit sending letters through other mail services, including Yandex.Mail.
What can be done with the collected letters
With the collected letters, you can do everything the same as with other letters in the box, but there are features:
Deleting emails
If you delete a collected letter, it will be deleted only from the mailbox where it was collected. The letter will remain in the original box.
Letter processing rules
Processing rules work only for messages collected in the Inbox folder. If the message is collected in another folder, the rule will not work for it.
Black list
The black list does not work for letters collected from your other mailbox. To block such letters, go to the mailbox from which the letters are collected and set up a blacklist in it.

The speed of the collector depends on the number of letters in the box from which the letters are collected, and on the operation of the server on which this box is located. Delays in the collection of letters can also occur due to the peculiarities of the protocols that the collector uses.
To receive emails instantly, set up forwarding from another mailbox to a Yandex mailbox. Before setting up forwarding, disable the collector - otherwise the letters will arrive in duplicate.
You cannot select a folder for collecting messages if you have configured the IMAP collector - it does not provide for the ability to collect messages in a specified folder, because copies the entire folder structure. You can change the protocol to POP3, for this:
Click on the address of the required collector.
Confirm deletion.
After that, in the settings you will be able to select a folder for collecting letters.
As I am active in the network, I have accumulated a lot of mail accounts, some of which I actively use for various purposes. I don’t use mail programs, and it takes a long time to log in and check mail in each mailbox, so I decided to set up mail collection in one place. In this post, I will talk about how to set up mail collection from different mailboxes on one gmail account.
Most of my accounts are on Yandex and gmail for the domain. Mail from most accounts has long been collected on one gmail account, but not all, and periodically you have to go in and check other mail accounts. Plus, sending letters on behalf of another account is set up in a simple way, when mail is sent through the domain and gmail account, and not through the mail server on which the other mailbox is located. In general, I decided to thoroughly organize and configure everything, collect mail from all active accounts in one place, on one domain attached to gmail, which I took a long time ago specifically for this purpose.
It so happened that I never used email programs, I don't like them. Gmail, in my opinion, is much more convenient. You don't need to download anything to your computer convenient search, convenient grouping of letters in chains and more. In short, here I didn’t even think, to work with mail, I used and will use gmail. Another plus is that you can access the mail archive from any computer. You can read about how to get gmail for a domain in the post.
And so, to the point. Below I will give instructions on how I set up mail collection in one place, on a gmail account for a domain.
What did I need?
- Collection of mail from different mailboxes/accounts on one gmail account.
- Be able to send letters on behalf of another account and not burn the address .
- Flag emails received on different accounts.
Everything. I don't need anything else.
Let's start in order.
1. Collection of mail from different mailboxes/accounts on one gmail account
There are several paths here.
1) Set up mail forwarding from another mailbox/account to your main account
Most developed mail services, there is a possibility. I have Yandex and gmail accounts, so here I will describe the mail forwarding settings for these mailers.
Forward/Collect mail from another Gmail account
In the account from which we want to forward mail, go to Settings => Forwarding and POP / IMAP
Check “Enable POP for all emails”, choose what you want to make as forwarded emails. I have "Save a copy of the letter in the inbox". Enter the address to which you want to forward mail.
After that, a confirmation code comes to the email added for forwarding. Enter code.
Then choose forward to the added address and action with letters after forwarding:
Everything. Now all emails will be forwarded to the email address you specified.
Forwarding / Collection for mail from Yandex
Go to Settings => Mail processing rules => Create rule.
Create a "Forward to address" rule and check "keep a copy when forwarding". Click to create a rule.
After that, a letter with a link comes to the email specified for forwarding. Follow the link and click "Enable Rule".
Everything. Now all mail from your Yandex account will be sent to the email address you specified.
2) Collect mail with gmail mail collector
This method, personally, I use only to collect mail if:
- there is no way to set up mail forwarding from another mailbox / account
- if you need to collect all existing mail from another mailbox / account
Why only in these cases?
Because:
Firstly, there is a limitation, and you can only collect mail from 5 accounts, no more. This is a limitation for a free account, as far as I know, there is no such limitation on the commercial version, but I could be wrong.
Secondly, time delay. Google itself chooses the time after which it will collect your mail from another account. You can, of course, check with your hands, in the mail settings, select the desired account and click check, but this is not the same. If you set up forwarding from another mail account, then letters will arrive instantly.
How to set up mail collection with gmail collector
Go to Settings => Accounts => Receive mail from other accounts => Add your mail account
Add the email from which you want to collect mail. Enter the data and select the desired actions. data for different mail servers- various. It needs to be clarified. For most major mailers such as Yandex, mail, desired settings entered correctly by default.
The details of setting up sending emails on behalf of another account are described below, when considering point 2 - “Be able to send emails on behalf of another account and not get fired”. After that, gmail will collect mail from the added mailbox.
2. Be able to send letters on behalf of another account and not get fired
In order to configure the ability to send mail on behalf of another account, go to Settings => Accounts => Add your other email address.
Enter the address and the desired name, which will be indicated when sending the letter.
Here they offer 2 options, simple and more complicated:
- send via gmail on domain (easier setup)
- send via SMTP servers of the mailer where the account is located (recommended for professional domains)
Previously, I did not want to mess with the settings and I chose the first option. But with the first option, the recipient, as far as I understand, will see that the letter was sent from a completely different domain, and perhaps it will be possible to see the real address of the sender.
In the second option, mail is sent from the server where another account is located. At the same time, as far as I know, the address and domain are not burned, but those addresses and domain on behalf of which the letter was sent are displayed. Therefore, I choose the second option.
Select "Secure connection using TLS", recommended by gmail. Enter the SMTP server address. For Yandex, this is smtp.yandex.ru port 25. This is all specified by default. I set the port and another one, it seemed to work too. For gmail - smtp.gmail.com port 587. For other mail services, you need to specify the address of the smtp server.
After that, a code will be sent to the added email. Enter the code and confirm the email.
Everything. Now you can send emails on behalf of another account.
3. Mark emails sent to different email addresses
In order to make it easier to navigate where and which letters, let's create labels for each account or group of accounts and set up filters.
Create labels for emails
Go to Settings => Shortcuts and create a shortcut.
Create an email filter
Go to Settings => Filters => Create new filter and create a filter.
When creating a filter, there are many settings. I create a filter by the addressee to whom the letter is addressed.
I only need to tag the email with a label, so I only select "Apply Label", select the label, and click "Create Filter". Everything. Now all letters addressed to a specific email will be marked with a label.
Thus, I now receive letters from more than 20 different accounts and am able to respond on behalf of these accounts, without scorching the main address, from one place. Now I don't have to log into different accounts to check my mail and reply, which saves a lot of time. Perhaps this solution will come in handy for you and the instructions will help.
Gmail rules!
There is something to add - write!
