To set up the option of reading emails from a particular account follow these steps. -

Click the add Pop account button

You will now be shown the page where you need to confirm the information such as password and servers. If you are setting up an email address from the likes of Yahoo or Hotmail then the settings will already be filled in. If you are setting up an email for a website like in this example then you will need to fill in the information but it is possible that Google will fill it in.

 

Once this is done then there is the chance that you will have to sign in to the the account on the website and retrieve a verification code to confirm that the email address belongs to you. As shown below.

You are all done now the emails will be now coming into your Gmail inbox for you to keep a track on.
