Add email addresses to your Google account

It is possible to add extra email addresses to a Google account so you can use them with Google Mail.

Go to Google Mail and log in with your normal Google login name and password. Click on the Edit link in the Email addresses section on the right.

Enter the email address in the box towards the bottom of the page and click on Save. Google will send an email to the address you want to add to check that you own it.

The best reason for doing this is that this email address can then be used with Google Calendar.
