Today it is not uncommon to use multiple email accounts from different providers . Many people have a private email account with one provider and a work email account with another. Switching between one and the other on a day-to-day basis can be impractical. It would be much easier if all the emails came to the same account, no matter what address they were sent to. Luckily, Gmail includes a feature to automatically forward your mail from other accounts..
