<p>Has anyone tried incorporating their UCLA email with their Gmail account? I did so successfully but I'm wondering if there's a way to make UCLA-addressed emails appear differently (different inbox folder or different color fonts in the main page) from the messages that are typically sent to my actual Gmail account. </p>
<p>Hope this makes sense . . . my computer jargon sucks >_<</p>
<p>there is a way to put a label in front i forgot how though but it does it on mine</p>
<p>This is wonderful news! (Not being sarcastic) Time to continue messing around with this thing then :D</p>
<p>Yeah I did just that, I applied a label for all emails containing 'ucla,' just go to 'edit labels' on the left and then 'create new label'</p>
<p>
<p>Hope this makes sense . . . my computer jargon sucks >_<

<p>Yeah, I have it forwarded to Gmail, and have set up sending capabilities as well. Basically what you want to do to distinguish your UCLA emails is set up a label and a filter that will put that label on the appropriate incoming mail. To do this, go to Settings, click Filters, then "Create a new filter." I placed my UCLA email address in the "To:" box of the filter setup page, then clicked "Next Step." Next, I checked a box to apply a label entitled "UCLA" and have all such messages skip the Inbox.</p>
<p>Yaaay got it to work. Thanks a lot :)</p>
<p>I'll attempt this myself, but in the mean time, if anyone can outline how to go about doing this, it would help me a lot.
Thanks</p>
<p>EDIT: Referring to actually inserting ucla mail into my gmail account, not the labels.</p>
<p>Emmeline, you rock.</p>
<p>o yea... dont keep a copy of email to your BOL cuz it gets clogged up with all of ur mail if u go overboard (this happened to me and was annoying) <--- mailbox MB cap</p>
<p>What is BOL? Bruin Online?</p>
<p>The way my thing is setup, all mail that goes to my ucla mail gets put into my gmail. I dont even see copies of those mails in my ucla mail :( They are all in my google account now.</p>
<p>Yes, integrating ucla BOL into gmail is great. I seldom log into BOL now and only check one email account.</p>
<p>The sad thing is, my current internship told me I got the job via email and did not call me. Since I put my ucla email (seems more professional since it's my name @ucla.edu), I did not know I got the job until randomly checked my UCLA email. </p>
<p>Now that it's integrated into gmail, I won't ever have to use it :D. Also, I have a little firefox plugin that tells me when I have new gmail, so that helps too. I never really have to login.</p>
<p>grapesoda, how do you automatically forward your ucla emails to your gmail account?</p>
<p>
<p>in your ucla account, click on "filters" on the left menu. then click on the "forward" button from the menu at the top of the page, and enter in the address you want to forward your mail to.</p>
<p>Wow, I used grapesoda's/welllookiehere explanation of how to setup a label filter on gmail to create a filter on BOL to forward my UCLA mail to gmail. I didn't know all you had to do was click filter, click forward and type out the email. Cooooool :)</p>
<p>ahhhh I get it. haha I found out that you can't set up that option if you check your mail from my.ucla.edu -____-</p>
<p>Hmmm, interesting...I'm thinking of merging the two together now...But when you create a new message from the consolidated account, do you get to choose which email (ucla or gmail) to appear in the "from" section of the email?</p>
<p>i know gmail has an option that let's you do that. you can go to settings, accounts, and under "send mail as," click "add another email address," and you can put in the other address you want to use. they'll send a message to your other email account, and after clicking on the confirmation link, the option to send mail from that other account becomes available whenever you compose a new message in gmail.</p>
