I finally took the advice of many others and converted my emails from Outlook to Gmail. When you own and operate 50+ websites, email can be a daunting task. At last count I had something like 76 email addresses or something. Yikes. I’ve always used Outlook to pull in emails and filter them into the appropriate folder.  But being that Outlook is just on my HOME PC, I could never find the time to keep up with the emails.  I would try to spend some time each night going through them – but as you can imaging, it was tough.

So along came Google Gmail.  I went one by one through my email addresses and:

1. Set up a forwarder from my current email to my new Gmail address.
2. Added the account to Gmail.
3. Verified the account. It sent an email to my new Gmail address so it made it VERY easy to verify.
4. Created a filter in Gmail to assign a label to the email. This is key as I still wanted to filter which email goes to which account.

Gmail handles this perfectly. I can compose emails from any of my 50+ email addresses. When I receive an email the filters put the correct label on it.  Very simple to archive messages for a later use. When I respond to messages it uses the appropriate reply address! Awesome!

Now I can effectively manage my internet marketing emails from home, work, cell phone, anywhere! If you are still using Outlook today – make the switch to Gmail. It’s well worth it!
