Forwarding emails to Gmail?

[shadowcreaper]

I have a gmail account and also a business email account but its a pain to access(nightmare though phone and just isnt nice to use) so i have a question.

Is it possible to have my emails from my business email forwarded to gmail email?

This way i can check/receive notifications for business email via gmail account.

The business email is run by 1&1 .

Yes, your control panel on 1&1 should allow you to set up forwarders, if you're very lucky you might be able to send out via your domains smtp server too, depends on the type of authentication 1&1 use.

What do you mean about if your lucky and domains smtp server ect??

I have checked the 1&1 and sadly its being a pain in the balls as i cannot forward emails to other accounts unless i "sign up for the special mailmax programme costing £10 a month".....

any ideas?

So you saying i can have my emails from my 1&1 account "pulled" into my Gmail inbox ?

If so what information do i need ?

As when i checked 1&1 you can only sync mail with phone/other account if you have that stupid "special premium account"....hopefully this "pull" method byepasses this

i just tried now using "mail fetcher" and it says

There was a problem connecting to mail.masletmutes.com
Server returned error: "We were unable to locate the other domain. Please contact your other provider."

I wrote down the username as the email as there isnt a username i believe or aware of.

Then the POP server i wrote as the email address and the port i let gmail fill in.

any ideas why it not work?
