How to get Multiple Gmail accounts?
My email
inbox is my to-do list. My emails are subjects of my pending projects, some are
like a relationship with new writers, and each of them needs a particular
response and prioritization in my schedule. So that is why I need to have multiple Gmail accounts.
Having multiple Gmail accounts
Most professionals have two Gmail accounts. One for personal matters and another
for working purposes. If you are a seller, you can keep certain account sizes or leading messages in various Gmail inboxes or accounts.
Some people
have got separate Gmail account for spam mail. In that matter, when you
have to enter an email address to get access to secured content or to get any
special offer, you will not get marketing emails to the professional inbox.
Multiple
Inboxes are mini inboxes given by Google in your primary inbox. Make your
inbox into parts depending on the email type, topic, or personal desires. You
are unable to execute multiple inboxes if you use Gmail promotions, Social,
Updates, or Forums.
First of
all, let's interpret some terms.
- Primary Inbox: Most of the users have got this Gmail inbox type. It keeps all the emails when it comes and leaves when archiving an email or changing the folder.
- Multiple Inboxes: These are the small inboxes created with the primary inbox to make the inbox into various sections depending on the email type. They are only executed for accounts that don’t have Gmail’s Promotions/etc tabs.
Are you
interested in multiple inboxes? There are seven steps mentioned below. They
are suitable to organize and execute your multiple inboxes.
1) Proceed to the Gmail settings
Click the
gear icon located at the top right of the primary Gmail inbox. Select “Settings” in the drop-down that you see.
2) Click “Advanced” at the top navigation that you see
3) Go to “Multiple Inboxes” and choose “Enable”
Make sure
to click “Save changes” after the Gmail; automatically re-directing to the
inbox. Anyhow, we have not done it yet.
4) Make labels for each of the email types that you need to bucket.
In the left
side of the inbox, scroll and click on “More”, and “Create new label”. You can
create different types of groups that you need to bucket the email types
together. Give the label name and click on “Create”
It's funny
to organize the inboxes depending on the majority of the emails. Some of the
emails I receive need replies, even if I am unable to get them right. The others
are moved to to-do list items that are not to forget. The rest of the emails are the terms that are stored on a backlog.
5) With the labels created by you, return to “Settings”
Go and
click the gear icon, “Settings” and next click “Multiple Inboxes” in the
navigation.
6) Then set the labels you need to display in your inbox.
According
to the present searches of the multiple inboxes. I am adding more inboxes
to my inbox list. They are linked with the labels mentioned in the fourth step.
To properly display the inboxes, you must use the format “is label-name”. Your
inquiry has to be lowercase and uses dashes, not spaces.
Also, you
can choose the maximum number of emails to display in the inboxes within
“Maximum page size”. Also, select the new multiple inboxes displayed at the
right of the main inbox.
7) Click “Save changes” to return to the organized inbox.
To be
honest your inbox should appear like the one below given.
If the
multiple inbox panes are not displaying, go to the gear icon “Settings”, and “Inbox” and ensure to select only the “primary” option in the “Categories ” section.
Let's look at the steps to use the inbox for multiple Gmail accounts.
- Go to the “Accounts” settings
- Add the subordinate Gmail account to the main Gmail account.
- Press the “Send Verification” button
- Go to the secondary accounts where the "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" are located.
- Add the main account email address to the settings named “Forwarding”
- Confirm the email address to forward.

If you
belong multiple Gmail accounts, get the main inbox to send from and link the
secondary accounts to the main one. Let's look at the steps to set up this.

any Gmail account that you check usually than the rest of the accounts, make it the
primary inbox. Go to the gear icon, click “Settings” and next to “Accounts” in the navigation.

check or uncheck the box you need to the left of “Treat as an alias”

primary Gmail account's inbox. That is
the target we need to achieve in this part. After checking the box, click the button
“Next Step>>”
3) Click the “Send verification”
Click that
button to get a confirmation email to the secondary Gmail account inbox.
4) Give the verification code
After
receiving the confirmation email, copy and paste the verification code in the

In the “Forwarding”
part, click the “Add a forwarding address button”
This is the place you enter the email address for the main account.
Click the “Next” and the “Confirm”
buttons. You will see a pop-up window. Click the “Proceed” button. The
confirmation email will be received in your main Gmail account.

Finally,
check the “Forward a copy of incoming mail to…” and select your forwarding
option in the dropdown.

option is selected, the emails in the secondary Gmail account get forwarded to
the primary Gmail account. When all the emails are in one place you can save time and will be easy to control multiple inboxes.
