If you are anything like me then you love your gmail account and you like keeping everything in one place.
In this video I will show you how to use one gmail account to create as many email addresses as you want a way to make sure all this is filtered into separate folders (or tags as gmail calls them).
This is useful especially if you want multiple accounts with a place like Twitter or Ezine articles but you want to use one gmail to control all these accounts.
So take a look at the video, let me know what you think and fire me any questions you have:

Hi Forest,
I found this very interesting and I’m definitely going to give it a whirl to re-organize my email.
I use IMAP and Outlook, but have been told how powerful GMail can be, so want to at least utilize it to try out what you’ve showcased here, with the current gmail account I have.
I would be interested in seeing a video on how to set up gmail to be connected via your different domains, as I’ve heard that can be done also.
Thanks again… have a great day!
Christine
Hey Michelle,
You can filter all the incoming mail that you already have based on where its coming from so you don’t even have to set p additional email addresses to get organised.
I’m not sure about connecting gmail to each website but I will definitely look into that and make a video if I work it out.
Thanks.
Hi forest, really great video, I went ahead and gave it 5 stars on youtube, the only suggestion I would have is perhaps raise the microphone volume by maybe just 20% more, and it would be perfect, it seemed just a tiny bit low.
Till then,
Jean
Thanks very much. Yeah I noticed the mic was a little low. I was using the one built into my mac and the new screen recorder software that comes built into the new OS…. So have not had a chance to work out how to change all the settings yet. I want to get a decent headset at some point to improve my audio.
Thanks for replying Forest, yeah I would say no rush on the headset, the video and audio as it stands it already is high quality, If I just raise the sound manually on my end, the quality is outstanding. So.. perhaps maybe try to raise the volume manually in the editing process of the video….. but if you can’t do it, that’s okay too, like I said, it is already high quality as it is, =D I hope you don’t misunderstand me.
Till then,
Jean
Thanks…. I actually have a headset already that might work. So will test this, if not I won’t worry.
Great tip! Thanks!

Great info Forest, I have found Gmail to be nothing but a pain to date but I can now see how to use it for multiple addresses, that is handy indeed!
By the way, I love all the tips you serve up here and have added your blog to my Kreativ Blogger Award list! You can read all about it on my blog.

Oh no, what has it been doing wrong? Let me know and maybe we can work out why it’s doing it.
Thanks so much for the award. I wandered over earlier today but did not have time to comment. I shall be passing it on with gratitude in the next few days… Thanks so much again.
Oh I just received a mail from Josh recommending your book….. You are going to have a lot of new readers!! Well done on an awesome report.
I knew this trick since early this year but I know this info would certainly be helpful to a lot of people…

Hey Melvin,
Yeah I realised it was an old trick but thought the video and quick look at filters would be helpful.
very very cool! this is very organized! I will surely try this tool!
Excellent.
[...] I finally got a post on here yesterday showing a useful tip that allows you to use one gmail account for multiple emails. It also shows you how to organize them using tags and filters. Take a read here: Multiple Email Addresses From One Gmail Account. [...]
Thanks for sharing! Currently I’ve only been using Gmail to control my POP3 email accounts, but even that feature is limited to 5 accounts.
Now it looks like I can do a bit more! =)

Yeah this is helpful. I have not used gmail for pop3 but it has been asked about here in the comments so I will have to look into it.
That’s brilliant! I’d honestly never heard of that before. I will definitely be using this next time I’m signing up to something. Thanks for the insight Forest – also interesting to hear your voice on the video.

, let me know if you have any probs.
That’s pretty neat, sure seems like it would be a great time saver, and after all, time is money!

Ha, agreed. I’m stressing over a slow internet connection right now…. so losing loads of time!
Being able to control multiple gmail accounts through one account is a very powerful feature. Gmail is furthering distancing themselves from their competitors like hotmail. In a very short amount of time, Google has managed to create a great e-mail client.
Agreed, they are far better especially with the chat and video in built.
very nice tutorial, i will try this to my gmail account
dilson´s last blog ..Erin Andrews Peephole Video
Awesome.
Wow I didn’t know you could do this in gmail. This could be very beneficial. Instead of using MS Outlook to manage all my e-mail accounts, I could forward them all to individual gmail accounts….very cool.
I agree, you can manage pop3 accounts in Gmail too. I hope to put a vid together for this.
I’ve enjoyed following the comments. Let me know when you do ones on setting up domain emails in gmail and being able to”reply” from the domain PLUS filter them! That will be challenge.
Thanks, Forest!
Will do Christine, I hope this week…
I find combining email accounts into one Google account really very helpful, but I think there’s one area where it lacks: You can only have one automatic signature, despite how many accounts are linked together. So, even though you can make it so you reply from the account that the message was sent to, you have to use the same signature across all accounts.
Anyone have a solution?
Luke@Earn Extra Money´s last blog ..Hanging Christmas Lights
Thanks is a drag, no solution here I am afraid… Apart from keeping a text file on hand with all your signatures.
This is neat trick. Thanks for sharing this video.
No problem, thanks.
Thanks! This is a good tip especially that I have joined a lot of social networking sites and subscribed to a lot of blogs too.
Cool, that’s good news.
Wow! The truth is i have multiple gmail accounts. One for work, personal, business and family

Hey forest,this is really a great post. Just worried on my gmail account. I always use outlook…
And i came to hear few people can hack gmail accounts too.. Is that really possible? I think Google is a big teamm..it cannot reveal pw’s very easily..
Hey, hacking is possible…. If you keep a good secure password and change it failry regularly you should be ok!
omg helped me a lot than you
THANKX BRILLIANTJENI!
