Forwarding mail to gmail

mahonmeister · 04-19-2006, 12:02 PM

I have a school email address (me@csupomona.edu) and I want to forward the mail from there to my gmail. There is no forwarding feature with the school mail and gmail only allows me to forward mail to other addresses. The school mail really sucks and I hate having 2 accounts to check. Anyone have ideas?

I'm afraid there's not really much you can do, in that case.
It might make life a little easier to use a light POP3 mail checker to watch the school account
(rather than to have to keep checking in a mail client), but you'd still have to go to the account to handle mail when it arrives.

I was afraid of that. Thanks anyway. Google should put a mail "fetcher" of some sort in gmail, if such a thing is possible.

Yes, you're not the first one with that on a wish-list.
But it's a Beta product, after all. If enough people suggested this directly to Google's Gmail feedback, who knows?
