In the POP Download section choose to enable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 1: Open your Gmail account<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 2: Go to Settings &gt; Accounts, then under &#8220;Check mail from other accounts (using POP3),&#8221; click &#8220;Add a POP3 mail account you own.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 3: Enter the account&#8217;s e-mail address you want to migrate (your old e-mail address).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>step 4: Enter the password for the e-mail account you&#8217;re migrating, as well as your e-mail provider&#8217;s POP server name and port number, if you run into any problems, check with your provider to get the correct details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 5: Now you can decide the import settings per your requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">  * If you want to delete your old e-mail messages off of your old account provider's server after Gmail imports them, check the box.\n\n  * We recommend using SSL to check for new messages. SSL is more secure and will help protect you when you're using Gmail in public Wi-Fi networks.\n\n  * You can label incoming messages if you'd like. Using the default label of your old e-mail address might help you find older messages a little easier, but this is totally up to you.\n\n  * Archiving incoming messages is probably a good idea so you don't fill up your Inbox with all your old e-mail.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 6: Click the Add Account button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 7: You can check the import history by location. Settings &gt; Accounts, then under &#8220;Check mail from other accounts (using <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Post_Office_Protocol\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">POP3<\/a>),&#8221; click on &#8220;View history.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 8: Once you&#8217;ve verified that the import is done, you can remove the account from Gmail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Done!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-call-to-action uagb-block-b1279f46 wp-block-button\"><div class=\"uagb-cta__wrap\"><h3 class=\"uagb-cta__title\">Scale Your Python App<\/h3><p class=\"uagb-cta__desc\">Grow effortlessly with Veeble.
