Move your personal Gmail account to you RCC student email account

Note: If you rely on labels to organize your messages, please look at the notes at the end of this answer about labels and filters, before you follow the steps to move your mail.
First, you need to update some settings in your personal Gmail account.

  1. Sign in to your personal Gmail account.
  2. At the upper right of the page, click the "Settings" link.
  3. In the yellow bar, click the "Forwarding and IMAP/POP" link.
  4. In the POP Download section, under item 1: Click the radio button labeled "Enable POP for all mail (even mail that's already been downloaded)". 
  5. Also in the POP Download section, under item 2: From the drop-down menu, pick the option that matches how you want your messages to appear in your personal Gmail account after they're accessed by your RCC Gmail account. 

You're now done with your personal Gmail account settings. Next, you'll change the settings in your RCC student email account.

  1. Sign in to your RCC student email account.
  2. At the upper right of the page, click the "Settings" link.
  3. In the yellow bar, click the "Accounts" link.
  4. In the "Get mail from other accounts" section, click "Add a mail account you own".
  5. Enter your personal Gmail address.
  6. Enter the password for your personal Gmail address. Under "POP Server", pick "pop.gmail.com". Under "Port", pick "995". Check "Always use a secure connection (SSL) when retrieving mail."
  7. Click the Add Account button.

Gmail will now use POP to download your email from your personal Gmail account. It will download 200 message blocks every 5 minutes, so it may take a while for it to complete the transfer.
