- comboy 1y agoDoes your other account not provide IMAP?
- manmal 1y agoNo
- DarkmSparks 1y agoIts google that never supported fetching mails over imap, not clear if they do now.
- Strom 1y agoThe other account may provide IMAP but it won't help you because GMail only supports POP (which is now going away). GMail does NOT support IMAP for 3rd party accounts. The GMail mobile app does support IMAP, but that is different from GMail as a service supporting it. The mobile app having IMAP support does nothing for people who use a web browser.
- rhyswallace 1y agoGoogle Workspace handles this nicely (for $10/month...). I used to use the to-be-deprecated feature but ran into some occasional issues, so I bit the bullet to go to Workspace. Feels overkill just to achieve the same outcome as we previously had for free, though.
- seydor 1y agoMy understanding is it will be removed from both paid and unpaid versions of Gmail, no?
- ritzaco 1y agoI use it on my paid workspace account and personal, and I got a notification on the paid workspace account that it will be unavailable. I guess it applies to the free account too but they just don't bother to state it (yet).
- tempestn 1y agoSet your other accounts to forward them to your gmail with ARC headers, which gmail now supports. Used to be forwarding into gmail was almost unusable due to spam false positives, but I've found it to be significantly improved now (albeit not perfect).
- manmal 1y agoThe other account (over which I have no administrative control) does not support ARC. Yes I guess I‘ll just forward emails.
- latexr 1y agoUnrelated, but I noticed this in your two comments and it seems to be something you do frequently—you’re using the wrong side of the quotation character as the apostrophe. You’re using ‘ but it should be ’. See the difference: I‘ll VS I’ll. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_single_quotation_mark https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_single_quotation_mark
- f_allwein 1y agono, it should be ' (ASCII 39, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostrophe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostrophe )
- latexr 1y agoThe page you linked to lists both ’ and ', in that order. There’s no point in being (wrongly) pedantic about either, both have strengths and weaknesses (explained in the Wikipedia pages). The point is that if someone cares to use proper typographic characters not immediately visible in the keyboard (which the person I replied to seems to), they probably care to use the right ones. Both ’ and ' are correct, but ‘ is not.
- hluska 1y agoIt’s interesting that you say there’s no point in being pedantic but this entire boring subthread started because you were pedantic about punctuation. A character really doesn’t matter.
- crazygringo 1y agoI just had to check how I've set up my Gmail to collect all my e-mail from other accounts. Fortunately, they're all set up to forward to Gmail. Gmail never checks them itself. Does e-mail forwarding not work in your case?
- manmal 1y agoIt works but is prone to being marked as spam.
