Gmail recently added a feature which lets you import all your mails from any mail account which supports POP3. Yahoo Mail does support POP3 for its Plus users and now its easy to get all this in gmail account.

This is useful if you are no longer using those accounts and are just there because you have some mails which you always want.

To import Yahoo mails into Gmail

• Go to Settings > Accounts
• Look for Get mail from other accounts: (Download mail using POP3)

Once you click on it, Gmail will ask you for the email id and then it will pick up the supported pop3 address and url automatically. Here is a sample with Yahoo Mail Import :

This is similar to any POP3 if you had used in Outlook. You can configure to delete the messages on Yahoo inbox, what will be the level, do you want it in inbox etc. I wish one day Yahoo opens up pop3 for all Users and everybody can do it.

Here you are going to see what you want to do to get back your Google account once it has been hacked its because all your Google services like Gmail, Orkut, Google Calendar, Blogger, AdSense, Google Docs and even Google Checkout are tied to the same account.If you lose any of your above account you have to face problems in dealing with other google applications also.

Here are some options suggested by Google Support when your forget the Gmail password or if someone else takes ownership of your Google Account and changes the password:

1. Reset Your Google Account Password:Type the email address associated with your Google Account or Gmail user name at google.com/accounts/ForgotPasswd - you will receive an email at your secondary email address with a link to reset your Google Account Password.This will not work if the other person has changed your secondary email address or if you no longer have access to that address.2. For Google Accounts Associated with Gmail If you have problems while logging into your Gmail account, you can consider contacting Google by filling this form. It however requires you to remember the exact date when you created that Gmail account.

3. For Hijacked Google Accounts Not Linked to GmailIf your Google Account doesn’t use a Gmail address, contact Google by filling this form. This approach may help bring back your Google Account if you religiously preserve all your old emails. You will be required to know the exact creation date of your Google Account plus a copy of that original “Google Email Verification” message.

It may be slightly tough to get your Google Account back but definitely not impossible if you have the relevant information in your secondary email mailbox.
