What to do after adding a new email address

After adding a new email address to your Gmail account, you can:

• Send and receive emails from the new address.
• Access the new account's inbox, sent items, and other folders from your Gmail account.
• Use the new email address to send emails from your Gmail account.
• Set up forwarding rules to forward emails from the new account to your primary Gmail account.

Note: If you're adding a new email address from a different email provider, you may need to set up additional settings, such as IMAP or POP3 settings, to access the account from your Gmail account.
