I check 5 different email accounts from three different computers and sometimes my phone. What is the best way to have access to all of the emails in each account? I would like to be able to see what I have sent/received from each account on each computer. 2 of the accounts are gmail 2 are roadrunner and 1 is for my website(which has 2 of those email account forwarded to it).

OR

Don’t use 5 fucking email addresses and forward them all to one?

pretty much the same thing. I do not want to forward to one because I have to be able to send out from each one and I don’t want a cluster fuck when I try to look for an email.

The problem I have with that is I have to set outlook to save the mail on the server then I have all these emails taking up space. Maybe I will try to eliminate a couple accounts.

You can make outlook leave email on the server or save it to your PC…

The problem is it’s a pain in the ass to set the 3 computers to leave a copy on the server then 1 to not leave a copy on the server and make sure the 1 set to not take a copy is the last one I check the email with so there is a copy on each of the other computers. I can’t get what I want with Outlook.

Gmail is great for this.

Setup filters for junk, forums, newsletters, personal. Anything coming into my email directly is in my inbox and then anything to like [my.email+forums@gmail.com](mailto:my.email+forums@gmail.com) is put into a folder and so forth. Also my personal company email is routed through there. Simple web based client and tons of storage 🙂
