It&#8217;s the most accurate, reliable spam filtering we&#8217;ve ever tried. \u00a0Gmail works. It makes an incredible  \t\t(and almost perfect) shield to protect your email account(s) from spam.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re  \t\tbetting if you get a lot of spam you&#8217;ll find this tip to worth the  \t\tlittle bit of time it takes to set up your gmail  \t\taccount(s) and your email program.<\/p>\n<p>Most all of you with Gmail accounts who check your Gmail account with  \t\tyour email program, also have at least one ISP account too. Did you know  \t\tthat Gmail will access up to 5 other email accounts for you including your ISP accounts &#8211; and you  \t\tcan access these accounts via your Gmail account too?<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re plagued with spam and you&#8217;re looking for a  \t\tcheap and effective way to deal with spam without using some clumsy &#8220;authorize me&#8221; free  \t\tspam filter, you can use Gmail&#8217;s excellent spam filtering for any email accounts you have as long as they are POP3 or IMAP accounts (Hotmail and  \t\tYahoo Mail are not POP3\/IMAP). Your ISP provides you with at least one POP3\/IMAP \u00a0account -most ISPs provide you with more than that.<\/p>\n<p>So how do you add your ISPs email account to your Gmail account? Very  \t\teasy. Login to your Gmail account, click &#8220;Settings&#8221; and then click &#8220;Add  \t\tanother email account&#8221;.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/premium\/2009\/images\/gmail-account1.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"InfoAve Premium\" hspace=\"0\" vspace=\"5\" width=\"540\" height=\"77\" \/><br \/>\nIf you need a little help, just click &#8220;Learn more&#8221;. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"><span style=\"font-family: sans-serif;\"><span><span style=\"font-family: sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"><span><span style=\"font-family: sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"> <span style=\"font-family: sans-serif;\"> <\/span><span style=\"font-family: sans-serif;\">After you&#8217;ve  \t\tclicked &#8220;Add another email account&#8221; a dialog box will appear where you  \t\ttype in the email address you want to check, your user ID and your email  \t\tpassword (for the account you&#8217;re setting up). If you want, you can even  \t\tset up Gmail to send from that account too, but it&#8217;s not necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Now, after you&#8217;ve set up one email account, you can set up another &#8211; and  \t\tanother if you choose. There&#8217;s one more thing you have to do, you have  \t\tto make sure you disable auto-checking in your email program for the  \t\taccounts you want Gmail to check. All your email messages will come to  \t\tyour email program via your Gmail account. If you don&#8217;t disable  \t\tauto-checking of the accounts you add to your Gmail account you&#8217;ll  \t\tbypass Gmail, and your mail won&#8217;t be filtered for you. Why? becuase your  \t\temail program will check your accounts before Gmail checks them and this  \t\tdefeats the whole purpose of this tip. So make sure you set up your  \t\tGmail account in your email program to auto-check and <em>disable<\/em> auto-checking in your ISP account(s) that you&#8217;ve set up in Gmail. And if  \t\tyou need more help with all of this, click the Learn more link in your  \t\tGmail program to the left of &#8220;Add another email account&#8221;. It really is  \t\teasy to set up Gmail to check your other POP3 accounts.<\/p>\n<p>Also, if your ISP censors your email this tip won&#8217;t help you because  \t\tyour ISP has first access to your email and will have censored and deleted it before  \t\tGmail will have a chance to retrieve it.<\/p>\n<p>And, remember Yahoo mail and Hotmail are not POP3\/IMAP accounts so you cannot  \t\tcheck these kinds of accounts with Gmail. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you have a Gmail account?
