top right hand corner next click on settings accounts and import and then add a mail account now type an email account you want to add and click next to add your business email you have to manually enter the mail settings so click next then open a new tab and log into the email account you want to add to Gmail Now search around for your mail settings these should appear under configure mail client and your mail settings should look something like this now I've opened back up the Gmail window to add the mail settings enter the
username and password for the email account you want to add and copy in the mail settings in the pop server field add one appears next to incoming mail in your mail settings change the port to match what is shown in your mail settings leave the first option unticked to save storage in the inbox you are adding tick the second option for added security tick the third option to add labels so you can clearly see which emails are from which accounts you can leave the final option unticked unless you want your mail to skip the inbox
then click add account now that your incoming mail settings have been added to gmail you will receive your business emails in your Gmail inbox but you will also want to be able to send business emails from Gmail so you don't need to log into your business email account at all so click next in most cases you can leave the account name as is but for example if you were adding a support email you might want to change the account name from your personal name to support at yourcompany.com this way clients will be able to see
that the email is from support when it lands in their inbox then move on to the next step so once again we need to have the mail settings open make sure where it says SMTP server matches the outgoing server address in your mail settings and that the port number is the same then enter your username and password and click add account the final step is to verify ownership of the email address go to the inbox of the email you want to add open the email from the Gmail team and copy and paste the verification code
