Already have a Gmail account, or looking to take advantage of all the features of the Gmail application? Now you can! Gmail allows you to set up multiple email identities, so you can setup your Owlwatch email account through gmail.
-
Log into your gmail account.
-
Click the Settings button in the upper right of the window.
-
Click on Accounts under Mail Settings
-
Click Add another Email Address
-
Enter your email address and click next.
-
Click Send Verification.
-
Go to your existing webmail application (or your email client such as Outlook) and retrieve the verification email sent by gmail. Follow the directions in the email (either copy the code and paste it in the corresponding gmail window, or click the confirmation link.)
Now that you have your owlwatch account set up through gmail, you will want to forward all your email to gmail. -
Go to your main webmail screen (http://owlwatch.com/webmail) and click on Forwarding Options.
-
Type your gmail address and click Add Forwarder
Now you should receive all your Owlwatch email through gmail. If you would still like to collect your email through outlook, make sure your Outlook client is set up correctly and be sure to check your mail with it every so often so the inbox does not get full.
If you would like to store all your mail in your gmail account, please complete the following steps.
-
Log into your gmail account
-
Click the Settings button in the upper right of the window.
-
Click on Accounts under Mail Settings
-
Click Add another mail account in the Get mail from other accounts section
-
Enter your Email address in the window that opens and click Next
-
Complete the information on the next screen.
-
Make sure your username is your full email address.
-
The POP Server should be your domain name with 'mail.' before it (for example: mail.owlwatch.com)
-
The port should be 110.
-
Make sure that "Leave a copy of retrieved message on the server" is NOT checked.
-
-
Click Save Changes
That should be all. Keep in mind that Owl Watch does not support gmail questions. This guide is provided with no guarantee and is to be followed at the risk of the individual user.
