All in One mail

You say you already know this :P

mail forwarding, other than that whats there???

Heard of multiple inboxes in google mail?

I happened to check it very recently and its awesome, that is why i thought of sharing it here for everyone.

So if you are having multiple email id's and if its difficult to keep track of all the id's then go for this.

This is something in addition to the mail forwarding facility.

What you have to do is this, enable mail forwarding in all your mail id's to the mail id in which you want all the mails. Now you go to your primary email id (the one to which you forwarded all the mails) and enable the multiple inbox feature in LABS.

Take the settings and in the filter panel filter all the mails coming from each email id and label it. with say any name.

Now in the multiple inboxes panel, you can specify the search criteria for each inboxes.

You just need to add the lines ls:label_name in the column.


So now you can get all your mails in a single mail id, each appearing in a different inbox. You can specify the location of inboxes to ie to the left or bottom or top :)
