    service

    How to log into another Gmail account

    If you are used to consulting your email through a e-mail client, you can add your new Gmail account to it to consult the two boxes at the same time. To do this, you must first activate the protocol IMAP (I do not recommend the POP protocol, as it is obsolete and not oriented to the consultation of e-mail on multiple devices).

    From the Gmail home page, then click the button with thegear icon, at the top right, and select the item Settings. In the top bar, click on the option Forwarding and POP / IMAP and then Enable IMAP (in the subgroup IMAP access). Don't forget to click Save Changes, at the bottom of the page, to confirm.

    The Gmail configuration parameters are as follows.

    • Incoming mail server (IMAP)
      • imap.gmail.com
      • Requires SSL: Yup
      • Port: 993
    • Outgoing mail server (SMTP)
      • smtp.gmail.com
      • Requires SSL: Yup
      • Requires TLS: Yes (if available)
      • Requires authentication: Yup
      • Port for SSL: 465
      • Porta per TLS/STARTTLS: 587
    • Full name or Display name
      • Your name
    • Account name, Username or Email address
      • Your full email address
    • Password
      • Your Gmail password

    At this point, all you have to do is add the account to your email client. The instructions for the most popular software are as follows.

    • Microsoft Outlook - click the button Fillet (top left), then up Account settings and finally, su New. Now, choose whether to proceed with the automatic configuration, following the instructions shown on the screen, or with the manual configuration. In the latter case, put the check mark next to the item Manually configure server settings or additional server types and, after clicking on NEXT, enter the parameters that I indicated a few lines above.
    • Mozilla Thunderbird - at the top right, click the button Menu, then up New message and finally click Create a new email account. Fill out the form displayed on the screen with the parameters you find above and that's it.
    • Apple Mail - go to the menu Mail> Preferences (top left), click the tab Account of the window that opens, then press the button +, which you can find at the bottom left. To proceed with the configuration, you can select Google from the list of email providers and proceed by following the instructions, or you can put a check mark on the option Other email account ... and manually enter the parameters that I indicated a little while ago.

    Note: if the two-step verification, you need to use a Password for apps to be able to log in. Check out my guide on how to authenticate the Google account to solve this small problem.
