Merge Durham Account into Gmail

March 12, 2006

I have written one before about how I managed my Durham university email account in Gmail (both receive and send). But it seems I didn’t write very clearly because today when Megan tried to send AJS emails using Gmail, she found it a bit difficult to setup. So here is a new proper and simple 1-2-3 guide.

1. Forwarding from University Email Account

Durham University’s Mail filter page → Sign in → Filter Rules → Forward → Email

2. Label University Emails
Sign in Gmail → Settings → Filter → Create a new filter → type ‘@dur.ac.uk’ in ‘From:’ section.
Press Next Step → click ‘Apply the label’ → create a new label named ‘University’

3. Send emails from Gmail by using your @dur.ac.uk
In Gmail, settings → account → Click ‘Add another email address’ → type your ‘@dur.ac.uk’ → follow instruction → DONE! Results as show in this picture.

This is how I did it anyway. I hope this may be helpful for Durham students as well as those want to use Gmail as an online multi email client.

I subscribed to your mixed feeds with bloglines: http://feeds.feedburner.com/RichardH_mix. Still cannot get your updates. Should I change it to http://feeds.feedburner.com/RichardH_en instead? But I don’t wanna miss your Chinese blogs. Do I have to subscribe to them seperately?

Hi! The mixed one was working fine before, but since I changed to WP there are some encoding problems occured and Chinese and Japanese characters totally massed up. I think you might have to subcribe them seperately, sorry. I will post a update here if I can solve this out in future.
