It's graduation season, so congratulations to those who've walked down the aisle recently, donning cap and gown! To help you with your transition from college life to "the real world," we're using our
usual Friday series to bring you some Google tips geared towards graduating students. The following is just one in a series of posts we'll be doing every Friday throughout the summer, so
stay tuned for more tips!
If you're a part of the class of '09, you're likely leaving behind a lot of great college memories and taking with you a new alumni email. So we want to remind you of a few Gmail tips that should help you get the most out of this new address.
Set up mail forwarding or fetching
Instead of checking a separate account for emails sent to your alumni address, have all your messages appear in your Gmail inbox. You can either set up mail forwarding from inside your alumni account for all new messages, or use Gmail's Mail Fetcher to have all messages (old and new) automatically downloaded to your Gmail inbox.
Learn more about both options.
Send 'From:' your alumni address
If you still want to show your school pride, you can add a custom 'From:' address to your Gmail account that lets you list your alumni address as the sender for outgoing emails.
