Gmail to Gmail Pop...

[Vijay Menon]

Hi,

I would like to know if gmail to gmail POP is a violation of the GMail TOS.

TIA
Vijay

I don't believe so. If you want to check it out for yourself, they're at https://mail.google.com/mail/help/terms_of_use.html

I tried to do that, all that happens is I get told in "red!!" to make
me ashamed I guess, that you cannot pop gmail..LOL..which is so funny
to me, Im just trying to be lazy and have mail from one gmail account
come to my original one and save time..I gave up and still do it the
regular way, signing in and out all day long checking the mail on the
other account. its starting to be a pain, so I may just delete the
secondary one.

I believe that you can actually use the "googlemail" (instead of gmail) POP address. However, you could always just set up one account to forward all mail to the other. Look in Settings->Forwarding and POP to do that.

You are allowed to POP another GMail account using the mail fetcher feature.  When you type in your GMail address as the email address you wish to POP from, all the settings will automatically fill so it will work.  You just have to make sure you have POP enabled in the GMail account you want to POP from.

What Ryan said is correct, you have to change the pop server name to
pop.googlemail.com and email ID to use...@googlemail.com.

It does automatically fill the settings, but when you save the setting
you get an error message that "you cannot use POP on Gmail Accounts"
or something of that sorts.

And my two cents on POPing gmail from Gmail is once you download all
the mail from the other Gmail account, its better to enable forwarding
as that's much faster and almost real-time (Thanks to Zack for this
little tip).

I'm not sure what you are doing wrong, but I just added a second GMail account as one of the accounts I want my main account to fetch.  I used gmail.com, not googlemail.  I'm not sure what the POP instructions tell you to use for the server, since I don't use POP normally, but I set smtp.gmail.com as the server, and it works perfectly (see attachments)

I've done all of that stuff, no luck ..I gave up, but then, I tend to
quit...if it gets too repetitive and I have to try more than 6 times
to get 'er done..so, I would be interested in hearing if anyone
accomplished this task and how they did it.

That's nice... I edited the server from smtp.gmail.com to pop.gmail.com

I've been using POP access from one GMail account (destination) to
collect email another GMail account (source) for awhile. I did the
same thing Nick describes. I got the "message in red" at first,
because I had forgotten to enable POP access in the account from which
I was collecting the messages (source). Once I got that fixed, I was
able to smoothly setup POP access of the source account (@gmail.com)
in the destination account.

I don't notice the delays that others mention for POP access versus
automatic forwarding.
