Merging Gmail Accounts

LDHayes · 13 Sep 2013, 10:38 AM

I have 2 gmail accounts. One is a regular @gmail.com account (which I never use, but had to establish) and the other is a gmail account ending in .com (established for my business through gmail). Whenever I want to do anything on google (youtube, google places, google +, etc) I have to have my gmail account open. I don't care about the gmail account, in fact, it's a pain to have it. Is there a way to merge the 2 accounts with the non gmail account as my primary? Remember, it's still a gmail account, it just does not have @gmail.com as it's ending.

1.Choose your master gmail profile and open Gmail
2.Select Setttings > Accounts and Import
3.Add POP3 email account and insert all info about secondary address
4.In the other account remember to allow POP download (Settings -> Forwarding and POP/IMAP)

That's not really merging accounts -- as was hoped by the OP, but it does import email messages from one to the other.
