Consolidate mail, eliminates unnecessary boxes

I'm pretty sure that almost all of you have more than one mailbox. And I do not mean the inevitable existence of a corporate box for those who spend time in the open-space. I mean only and exclusively personal mailboxes. And today I would like to tell you about Glen Olsoppa advice about the transition to the use of one box for everything.

Before you go to a single box everything you need to organize.
Indeed, it's silly to carry all sorts of rubbish and waste time on it.

• Unsubscribe from all unneeded mailings, including notification of social networks and forums.
• Look for phrases that are clearly only meet in the spam and delete them en masse.
• Make sure you save your password and registration information no matter where it was.

After all of your mailboxes will be processed in this way, you can begin to merge.

Import all the messages
When the drawers only necessary, it is possible to start the procedure itself association. How exactly this will happen depends on where you store your mail.
But some of the tips you can find here:

• Moving from Hotmail to Gmail
• with migration Outlook to Gmail
• Moving from Outlook to Thunderbird

If you need to do something else - google, you will almost certainly not the only person who wanted to do it, and the decision may already be described.

Configure redirection
After you import the old mail you should configure everything so that all the new messages are forwarded to your main inbox.
In settings Gmail Settings; Forwarding you can add an old address, a password and set up an old box cleaning rules. You can either remove a letter, after transfer to a new one, and leave it in the old well.
Redirect the mail in Outlook can be configured by means of rules, which is also not difficult. But it may require that the Outlook was launched.

Tell your friends and acquaintances and reload the page to your coordinates
Because you just do not want to keep open a program or to hope that POP access you will not block - to notify all of their new address. Do not forget social networks, blogs, forums - all the places where you have already lighted.

Carefully select your signature
Some plants just a few boxes to divide the work and personal space. If so, you should probably continue to maintain this separation. However, not all necessary, but when you reply to a specific letter, pay attention to what kind of signature you use: it must relate to the topic.
