How Can I Get My Emails From an Old Email Address?

If you have multiple email addresses but would prefer to use just one, you can still collect email from your old email addresses by enabling an auto-forwarding feature. This will allow you to still monitor messages coming through your old email address without having to worry about checking different addresses.

How Can I Get My Emails From an Old Email Address?

Step

Log in to your old email address. If you don't remember your password, look around for a password retrieval link. You will probably be asked a personal question like your mother's maiden name or your favorite pet, and then you will be given your password and will be able to log in.

Step

Go to the POP/Forwarding area of your email. This is generally in the settings area. Make sure all POP and forwarding settings are enabled. Then log out.

Step

Log in to your new email address and go to the POP/Forwarding area (again, most likely found in the settings area).

Step

Find the receive mail option. You will need to enter your full email address and give it a name. Once you confirm the email address is yours, an email will be sent to the old email address.

Step

Log back in to your old account and follow the verification link. You will need to enter some information about your email client (including SMTP and IMAP information) as well as your password. However, once you have submitted the information, you should start receiving emails from your old address at your new address momentarily.
