Well, my summer is coming to it's end. I'm not particularly sad about it though. I'm ready to go off to college. I don't really know why I'm not scared or anything because I haven't really thought about it.

Today I was browsing the settings of my Gmail account, and I noticed I started to link another one of my e-mail addresses to my Gmail one, but never finished.

Then I realized one thing: I had five e-mail addresses including my main one.

Upon the completion of a rather giant facepalm, I proceeded to finish linking the one I saw. Then I linked my third Gmail address in, then my school e-mail address, and one I haven't used in two years: The one from my ISP.

I was rather proud of what I did, but I soon scrolled down the accounts section in my Gmail, and noticed I only gained the authority to send mail from the address I was under the impression I linked.

So I started on the section for the recieving of e-mail of my other addresses, and came to some problems. My other Gmail ones weren't prepared for sharing, and I didn't know the server address of my school. I got my ISP's address set up fine, no hooks.

I immediately popped into my other Gmail accounts, activated sharing via POP3, and went back to my main account. They went through flawlessly.

My school's server was just a giant Outlook Webmail server, of which I was unable to find the name. Gmail guessed it, but it wasn't right. I decided to guess, and say that the two mail systems (For students, and staff) were actually just one server. I removed the "student." part from the guess Gmail put in, and it went through, no hitches. I'm going to say it worked, even though I haven't really tested. I don't have any mail in the inbox of my school e-mail.

I'll send my school address a test mail, and see if it pulls up in my main Gmail account. I wasn't really finished there. It checked the mail of all my addresses. My alternate Gmail addresses and my school address didn't add anything to my main inbox since they lacked mail in their inboxes. My ISP e-mail however, due to it being my main address until I got a Gmail account, had 300 messages in it, and they all reeled into my inbox. I wanted none of them, since the latest dated one was from last year, and nothing in there was important anyway.

I set up filters. Specifically: If an e-mail came in, it would be put into a category based on the address of which it was sent to. I can view all my mail by these categories, and I can assign categories to mail that doesn't or already has passed through a filter already, so now I can view each e-mail based on "whom" it was sent to.

With that finished, I sorted by category, and deleted the 300 messages from my ISP e-mail, and went my merry way.

This having been said, I feel it to be a great accomplishment, due to it taking me two hours, not just to link the addresses and deal with them, but to figure out and remember the passwords to each of them.

I'm off to watch some obscure anime or something. I'm exausted.
