Today these are perhaps the most popular email services. And when considering this or that resource, we casually agreed that each mailbox can be connected to a different email address from a different service.
After all, going to every mailbox and checking mail is not always convenient. Therefore, for convenience, the ability to add mailbox to an existing address. Then all mail will be collected in one place, in one mailbox. Today we will learn how to organize the collection of mail from other mailboxes.
Let's start with Mail ru
How to add a mailbox to Mail ru
The mail ru mail service provides the ability to add a third-party mailbox to your main one.
In order to add another mailbox, go to your main mail ru mail account and click on your address at the top right
And click on the button “ to add a mail box».
After entering the data, click " To come in».
As a result of our actions, a folder appeared with our first and last name, and letters from Yandex mail will be delivered there. And you will no longer need to go to your Yandex mailbox to check new mail.
Now we’ll do something similar in Yandex mail.
How to add a mailbox to Yandex?
To add a mailbox from another mail service in the Yandex system, also log into your Yandex mail account
And click on the gear icon and select “ Collecting mail from other mailboxes».
Go to Settings " Mail collection" Now we will add a mailbox from mail ru. Enter our email address, its password and click “ Enable Collector»
At the next stage, you can specify a label for letters from Mail. All letters from mail service will arrive in your inbox. Let old emails be marked as read. Next, enter the password again and click “ Save changes».
That's it, we have connected an additional mailbox to Yandex mail. If in the future you no longer want to receive emails from your connected mailbox, you can disable it at any time.
You can add other boxes in a similar way.
To switch between the main and added boxes, use the main menu, then select the box you need.
How to add a mailbox to Gmail?
Mail from Google also makes it possible to connect an additional 5 mailboxes.
And select the item ""
Go to the tab " Accounts and import" and click on the link " Add an email account»
In the new window, enter the address of the mailbox that we will add. Click " Further».
Then, one by one, specify the password for the mailbox to be added, then change the POP server to pop3.mail. ru. Check the box that ensures that copies of received emails are saved on the server. This will be your safety net in case something happens to Google account your letters will be saved on the mail ru server. To make it easier to recognize which mailbox the letter came to, add a label to all incoming letters from mail ru
After that, click “ Add account».
On the next page we don’t change anything like that, except you can set your own Username. Enter the password for your mailbox and click “ Add account».
After this, an email with a confirmation code will be sent to your added mailbox. You can confirm in two ways: follow the link in the letter or copy the code from the letter and paste it into the field. Click " Confirm».
Now the settings have changed. As you can see in the screenshot below, our added email address appears, which can be changed or deleted.
You can also set the default mailbox from mail ru to send letters by clicking on the corresponding link.
And now the letters from the mail ru mailbox have successfully arrived in the mailbox from Google. As you can see, all letters are marked with a label that we specified during the process of adding a mailbox.
And when creating a new letter, you can choose which mailbox you want to send the letter from.
You can also use to collect letters in one place special programs- mail clients. The most popular is " The Bat" But this program paid. Among the free ones - Mozilla Thunderbird . Read about that on our website.
Write in the comments if you use it mail clients or a letter collector, as we described today.
Let me finish here. Good luck and success to all of you!
We should strive not to ensure that everyone understands us, but to ensure that it is impossible not to understand us.
Probably only a few have not encountered the problem that their email address They no longer like it or simply don’t need it. But what if the box is connected a large number of contacts that you wouldn’t want to lose.
The first solution that might come to mind is to create a new beautiful address and at the same time constantly check the second one. It's complicated. In this case we start creating even more boxes and getting confused with big amount addresses.
There are many inconveniences here: there is a risk of forgetting your password, the address klubnichkapupsik1234@ continues to irritate when you are the director of a serious company, and much more!
There is a solution and it is very simple. And comfortable.
When you have created a box with the perfect address, connect the collection of letters from old mail. You will find all letters from connected mailboxes inside the main mailbox in folders of the same name. Everything is neat, clear and orderly.
The collector saves time switching from box to box and allows you to move completely to a new address without the fear of leaving someone unanswered.
How to setup?
Yet again. Everything is very simple. We tell you:
- Go to your mailbox settings;
- Select the “Mail from other mailboxes” section;
- Enter the email address and password for the mailbox from which you want to collect letters.
After connecting a new address, you will see it in the general list on the same page.
In this section you can easily manage the collector: pause work, delete or add additional boxes. The collected letters will be stored in a separate folder with internal subfolders that you created in the old mailbox.
By the way, if you are determined to use a new beautiful address, but you are too lazy to notify everyone who still writes to the old email, set up filtering rules with an automatic response from the new address.
To do this, set up a filter and in the “If letters to whom” column, indicate your old address. Select the “Reply with message” action. If you indicate the address of the new mailbox in the message, then everyone who writes to the old mailbox will receive a response and will not lose your contacts.
If it is not possible to automatically configure the connection between the collector and the server
The first mail collection will occur within a few minutes after you set up the collector. The collector turns to another mail server from several times an hour to once every few days. You cannot manually set or change the collection time. It depends on the protocol used (POP3 or IMAP), as well as on the operating features of the server from which mail is collected. This is why letters may arrive with a delay.
Collect mail from another mailbox on Yandex
Collect new letters
If you want to collect mail from your other Yandex mailbox, you can set up a forwarding rule in it. After confirming the rule, all new emails will be redirected to your current mailbox.
Pick up old mail
To collect old letters from another Yandex mailbox:
Select a folder for collecting letters
Confirm deletion.
Edit collector settings
To disable the collector, go to the Mail Collection page and click the off link.
If you no longer need the collector, click the collector's name and then the Delete link.
Write a letter on behalf of the connected mailbox
If you want the recipient to receive a letter from your address Email on another service (for example, Gmail or Mail.Ru), add this address on the Email Addresses page and confirm access to it. After confirmation, you will be able to select in the From field not only an alias of your address on Yandex, but also an email address on another service.
Attention. If you add a mailbox address on another mail service, configure the collection of letters from it to a mailbox on Yandex. Without a configured collector, sending letters from such an address will not work. When setting up the collector, instead of a login, specify the full address, for example [email protected].
If, even with a correctly configured collector, you are unable to send letters from an address on another mail service, this means that the security rules of this service prohibit sending letters through other mail services, including Yandex.Mail.
What can you do with collected letters?
With collected letters you can do everything the same as with other letters in the mailbox, but there are some special features:
Deleting emails
If you delete a collected message, it will only be deleted from the mailbox where it was collected. The letter will remain in the original mailbox.
Rules for processing letters
Processing rules only work for letters collected in the Inbox folder. If the letter is collected in another folder, the rule will not work for it.
Black list
The blacklist does not work for messages collected from another mailbox of yours. To block such emails, go to the mailbox from which the emails are collected and set up a blacklist in it.

This step by step guide will help you solve problems related to the operation of the mail collector. Before you begin, open Yandex.Mail in a new tab to follow the recommendations.

The speed of the collector depends on the number of letters in the mailbox from which the letters are collected, and on the operation of the server on which this mailbox is located. Delays in collecting letters may also occur due to the protocols used by the collector.
To receive emails instantly, set up forwarding from another mailbox to a mailbox on Yandex. Before setting up forwarding, disable the collector - otherwise letters will arrive in duplicate.
You cannot select a folder for collecting letters if you have configured a collector using the IMAP protocol - it does not provide the ability to collect letters in a specified folder, because copies the entire folder structure. You can change the protocol to POP3, for this:
Click on the address of the required collector.
Confirm deletion.
After this, in the settings you will be able to select a folder for collecting letters.
Last time I started a series of articles on mail collection with several various boxes, created even on different services, into one main mailbox, which the user constantly controls and it is easier for him to work with only one of them, rather than separately viewing all his email mailboxes. Read more about the need to collect mail and its implementation on the GMail service.
I am planning this series of articles for 3 articles so far. Today I’ll tell you about setting up mail collection in an equally well-known mail service - Yandex.
Collecting mail from other accounts in Yandex is set up just as easily as in other services.
The process of setting up mail collection in the Yandex service.
To enable the ability to collect all mail in your Yandex mailbox from any of your accounts on the same or other mail services, first log into your Yandex account, which will be the main one. This is where you will collect mail from other mailboxes.
Open the mail settings section and select “Collect mail from other mailboxes”.
You can collect mail from any mailboxes located on any mail services, and not just from your mailboxes located on the same Yandex service!
The example for this article will show the process of collecting letters from Mail.ru mail.
Enter the full email address from which you will collect letters and the password from it, then click “Enable collector”.
If you have specified the correct email login and password, a message indicating a successful connection will appear in the next window and here you can make some settings for collecting emails. For example, you can assign a label to collected emails, and also display old forwarded emails as read. Check the options you need, then below again enter the password for your second email and click “Save changes”. The mail will start collecting in about 10 minutes.
In this settings window you will not be able to select separate folder to collect letters from a connected mailbox. Initially, the “Inbox” folder will be indicated and it does not change. This is due to the fact that initially mail is collected using the IMAP protocol and this protocol copies the entire folder structure from your connected mail.
If there are 2 options to force the collected mail to be sorted into folders:
Change the mail collection settings and install the POP3 protocol instead of IMAP (which is set initially);
Set up letter filtering later, i.e. create a condition under which received mail will end up in the folder you need, bypassing the “Inbox”.
The second option, I think, is more preferable, especially for beginners, so as not to fiddle with the settings for connecting to other mail.
Now all letters arriving at your connected mail will flow into the current one, which is your main one. And then there is no need to go into the second mail separately to check new letters in it.
How can I view separately all letters collected from connected mail?
After adding mail, you will see a label with its name on the left under the mail folders. Example:
By clicking on this shortcut you will see separately all the letters from the connected mailbox.
How can I change settings or disable mail collection from a specific mailbox?
If you need to change anything in the settings for collecting mail from an added mailbox, you can do this there in the Yandex mail settings, through the “Collecting mail from other mailboxes” section.
If you need to turn mail collection off or on again from a specific connected mailbox, click on the “On” switch. / Off.” in the list of connected mailboxes.
If you need to open mail collection settings, click on the name of the mailbox, and then click on the “Configure” link that appears. As a result, the same settings window will open as when connecting mail ().
Conclusion.
In conclusion, I would like to note that usually there are no problems with collecting email into the Yandex service and you do not need to configure anything in the second email (which you connect). But there is a very capricious service called GMail :) When connecting to it (and not only to Yandex, but even to yourself), problems very often arise and this is due to increased security this Google mail. No, I don’t argue, safety is good! But sometimes this reaches the level of insanity, for example, when Gmail blocks the connection to its own second GMail mailbox, and both are logged in from the same computer and the same IP :)) About similar problems with connection Google mail I will tell you in a separate article.
If you have mailboxes on other email services, set up a mail collector. Letters from the specified mailbox will be sent to your mailbox, and all information will be saved in one place.
For the collector to work correctly, you must configure it only under a Mail.ru account. Make sure you are logged in account Mail.ru before you start collecting letters from other mail services.
To add a box:
- Go to mail settings → “Mail from other mailboxes”.
- Click on the logo of the service where your mailbox is located, or click “Other mail”.
- Enter your mailbox name and password.
- Click Add.
Depending on which protocol is supported by the service on which the mailbox is located, the settings may differ:
IMAP
- Specify which folder you want to move emails to and click “Save.”
- If you have personal folders in the mailbox from which you will collect mail, they will be nested in the selected folder.
Also synchronized system folders: Drafts, Sent, Spam, and Trash. If you will be importing emails from a third-party mailbox into your Inbox, specify whether you want to apply the filters configured in the current mailbox to incoming emails.
If the collection of letters is configured using the IMAP protocol, you will be able to respond to letters from the mailbox to which the letter was sent.
POP3
- Check the “All mail” checkbox to import all messages from the mailbox. If you want to mark all imported emails as read, check the “Mark all old emails as read” checkbox.
- Select which folder you want to place emails from this mailbox. If you want to create new folder, check the box next to the drop-down list and enter the name of the folder.
- To apply filters that are configured in the mailbox to messages from other servers, check the box next to “Apply filters to received messages.”
- Click "Save".
Disable and remove the collector
To disable the mail collector, set the switch to the OFF position. If you want to edit the settings, click "Edit". To remove the faucet, click Remove.
To remove a collector from the list of folders, first delete the subfolders and then the collector folder itself.
