In case you have not been following my articles, I will just remind you that Gmail can be the only place you need to store all the information you will ever need.

Some people feel a little frighted of leaving all their information in just one location, especially in a free service even with Google behind it.

To solve this problem we will send all our email to also 2 other locations besides Google.

Let’s start with Hotmail. This was one of the worst email services in the world but now it’s probably the 3rd best right after Yahoo and Google. They just released a new feature that let’s you get POP3 access from other accounts directly to your Hotmail account that could be your inbox or just another folder, leaving your Hotmail inbox free of all the messages from other accounts. This is what you want. Just add your Gmail account password to Hotmail and send the messages to a specified folder in Hotmail. You can still use this email like you used to, the only difference is that now you get also your emails from your Gmail. This is great as a sync tool, plus you get Bing search in your email and at last you get a duplicate just in case you do something very bad to your Gmail account.

Adding Yahoo to your Gmail is even easier. You do not have to add anything. Just open your gmail inbox and go to settings. In the Forwarding tab just send a copy to your Yahoo email.

It is really this simple.

Another advantage here is that you might start running out of Gmail space. Google is always increasing it but not fast enough for you. In this case you might want to delete messages after receiving them on Gmail and move all your life little by little to Yahoo that never runs out of space.

Some smaller services with lower quality promised to give you unlimited space just to add a limit later on. Yahoo won’t do this. They have a huge reputation to defend.
