Adding another account to Gmail gives you a lot of benefits. The first is very convenient. For example, if you have a separate work account and another account for entertainment, you can combine these two accounts. This way you will not need to log in but can still check your account for work during vacation or holidays. Adding a mail account to Gmail is very efficient, fast, and will help you reduce the fatigue of switching between accounts.
Steps
Sign in to Gmail. You just need to open a browser on your computer, then access the Gmail page at www.gmail.com. Next, you'll log into your account by entering your work and entertainment email address and the corresponding password to go to your inbox.
Go to “Settings” (Setting). In the inbox, you will see a gear icon in the right corner of the screen, when you click it, a drop-down menu will display. You will select “Settings” from the list of displayed options to continue.
Enter the password. This is to keep your account safe by making sure you're the one making the changes. Simply enter the required password, then click “Sign In” to continue.
Go to the section “Accounts and Import” (Account and enter). After logging in again, you will be redirected to a new page. At the top of this new page are various settings. You will click on the “Accounts and Import” item (fourth option) to open a new list of settings.
Review the settings. When the list of new settings is displayed, in the middle of the page, you'll see a setting for “Grant access to your account”, next to a “Add another account” link ( Add mail accounts). You will click on this link.
Add a new account. After clicking the link in the above step, a new screen will display and ask you to enter the Gmail address you want to add to your existing account. Just click on the box, enter the email address you want to add and click the "Next Step" button.
Check the entered email account. After pressing the “Next Step” button, at the top of the next window, you will see the question “Are you sure?” (Are you sure?). This step is just to make sure the information you entered is correct. Check before pressing the “Send e-mail to grant access” button, to avoid adding someone else's account by mistake.
Confirm account added. After adding your entertainment account to your work account (or vice versa), the last thing you need to do is confirm the account by signing in to the remaining Gmail account (account added), check the box incoming mail and look for the message containing the link confirming the additional account. Click the link to finish adding a new account to Gmail. advertisement
