In the past, I could add any email address that I own via Settings &rarr; Accounts &rarr; Add another email address you own.  .  On that wzard, there were 2 options:    But now it only lets you specify the SMTP server directly and it doesn't accept the standard settings of smtp.gmail.com    Did they change policies?  Or am I missing something here?  I tried this on two different accounts.

I used to be able to go to Accounts and Import → Add another email address you own and add an email account that's only a forwarding address. That is, it's not a mailbox and I don't have SMTP access to it.  Gmail would send me a confirmation email to that address, I'd confirm it's mine, and done. Now it only gives me the option to add SMTP credentials.  Did they stop supporting the previous method? Is there any other way I can get that option back?

Since 2008 I've been using a Gmail account as my main mailer, and I'm happy with the service. Unfortunately, I'm slowly but surely entering the business world, and my mail uses a children's name (along the lines of DarkShadow). Embarrassing to say the least.  This all wouldn't be a problem if I could just make a new mail, but all of my services, including my YouTube account and a bazillion forums, are linked to that mail. Plus, I have all mails up until the first one from 2008 archived.  Google has a feature to add secondary mails to accounts, but that unfortunately only works partially, because it writes it like " on behalf of ", defeating the whole point.  Is there a feature to migrate absolutely everything to my new mail address? Apart from setting up a universal redirect, I can't think of anything.

Is there a way to have a copy of any message sent from a Gmail account sent to another address?  I've got any messages coming to my address copied to another (see  for one solution, setting up filters is another), but I haven't yet found a way to have outbound messages automatically copied.  Is there a way?

At my current company, all employees have *.com and *.de email addresses. The problem now is that if I search for emails from a certain contact I have to choose between emails from either one of the two. Is there a way to be able to search for both of them at once?

I know that in the end it, can't be done.  But, what are the options to:    &nbsp; a) limit the options for persons to create multiple accounts, &nbsp; b) increase the chance of detecting multiple accounts / person    for a blog-like web service? (people can sign up for their own blog)  Update: I think the 'limit the options' has been answered nicely. (there is no reliable method, but we can raise the bar) However, I would still like to know what other options there are to detect multiple accounts?

Say you own a abcd.com and you only want to use it to send and receive email via bob@abcd.com. You don't want to provide any kind of website.  Can you set up the DNS records to include an "MX" record and no "A" record?   Is this enough for sending and receiving email to work? Is this valid in terms of whatever standard defines these things?     Edit: To clarify, the mail server (terminology?) would not be hosted on abcd.com or *.abcd.com

What is the procedure to change email account which you want to use to make in-app purchase?  Take a look at the image.    Click to enlarge the image  I am using 2 Gmail accounts and only 1 has a credit card attached. The primary account has a credit card, the secondary does not. But my secondary account is always in the payment dialogue. The secondary account is also not the account used in Play Store app.   I found no way to change this email.

I am constantly using different computers between home/work and I'd like to be able to easily check all of my email in one place, and I'd prefer not to use a web based mail program.  Currently I use Mac Mail on my laptop which downloads all of my email (from about 6 accounts) and filters it into different folders. However, this means I can only really 'check' my email from my Mac but I'd like to be able to use a program with the same settings to check my mail from other computers (windows or linux) in the same way (having everything downloaded from multiple mail servers and sorted into directories.)  I recently set up a home ubuntu server as an OpenVPN and Samba server so I could just mount a shared drive on any computer I use regardless of location/OS. My initial thoughts to solving syncing email was to switch to thunderbird and then just keep all of my mail files in the samba shared directory. Then the idea would be to either just point the user configuration files of thunderbird on any computer I'm using to the Samba mount or use a program like Unison to sync the user directories for Thunderbird. Has anyone tried something like this?  The other idea I toyed with was using Postfix + some IMAP server on my Ubuntu server, but I've never done something like that and I'm not sure exactly how they work. Would I be able to use Postfix to download and sort my email into different folders from multiple accounts and then just point any mail program to it's IMAP server and check my email that way? Doing some googling I found a lot of people recommend against hosting your own mail server though?  Thanks in advance for all of your thoughts and opinions on how I should go about this!

If I close (is delete an option ?) my Gmail account, will somebody be able to register using my email address and read my mails?  I want to close my Gmail account but I don't want anybody to impersonate me with my old address.  Same question with Yahoo! Mail. Do they allow addresses to be re-used?

It seems to be a very easy thing but I am struggling to see how. I need a "Dear %firstname%,  [cursor here] Kind Regards etc" template in my Gmail account, so every time I click reply, it is already there. How can I do that?

I am unable to update my user profile settings on Stack Overflow as I receive the following warning:     Oops! There was a problem updating your profile:   This email address is already registered. If it belongs to you, log in above or visit our account recovery page to get access to this account.   I have read through some of the similar questions about having to merge accounts but I only appear to have one account. I tried logging in with Facebook and standard email but both appear to link to the same user number.

I am moving to a new ISP and realised that I'm going to have a problem with my email as I use my ISP's provided address. So, being smart, decided to take this opportunity to move to Gmail. I then recalled that I registered an ideal Gmail email address back when it first launched. The account was never used for anything (including Gmail), so it has been dead with no activity. So, I want to use that email address. However, my Google account is all linked up with the ISP email address and uses a different Google account to the account with the nice Gmail email address.   How can I transfer the ownership of myidealemail@gmail.com over to my currently active Google account?  I have the following setup:  Account1 (created eight years ago and forgotten):   Login: myidealemail@gmail.com Gmail: myidealemail@gmail.com Acount activity: none   Account2 (created four years ago and still used):   Login: myoldemail@isp.com Gmail: none Account activity: loads and current   What I want to achieve:   Login: myidealemail@gmail.com Gmail: myidealemail@gmail.com Account activity: loads and current from account2

The question is similar to  but in addition I would like to ask the following: Don't  I need to change my email address if I am no longer affiliated to an institution?  Won't a new mail of the form www.someone@hotmail.com  make me lose ownership of all my papers and then need endorsement from another arXiv user?    Thanks in advance!

I have one SO login that is linked to a Google Apps Account. The thing is... I have a second Google Apps account and I would like to add it to My Logins but nothing I have tried has worked.  I've tried editing the email address on my login profile. It now shows the second Google App email address but when I click on the Google logo to login I still have to log in to Google with the first account for the fullOfGAS username to appear when I log in to SO.
