You can set up Rediffmail Plus to access messages from your other email accounts. You can then read these emails in your Rediffmail Plus web account.

You can add up to 3 email accounts to read your email from. To set up access to these accounts from Rediffmail Plus, you will need some information from your System Administrator. You will need:

1. Incoming POP Mail Server name
2. Your Mail Account Username
3. Your Mail Account Password

Please fill in the above details in the form given on the page.

You can set your personal preferences for reading mails from this account. You can choose which folder you want these mails to be shown in. You could pick an existing folder by selecting the folder from the drop down list and clicking on it or create a new one by clicking on the 'Create a new folder?' link.

Choose the colour that you want the list of mails to be displayed in inside the folder by clicking on the box next to the colour that you want.

When you read your mails from your other email account, the email messages are downloaded from that account into Rediffmail Plus. This will remove the email from your other email account and move it to the Rediffmail Plus account. You can choose to leave a copy of the message in the other account.
