Sharing Gmail Content with Another Gmail Account

An alternative to downloading Gmail content is sharing that content with another account. For example, if you want to share your CSUN Gmail account content with your personal Gmail account, you can delegate access to that account. 

To share content with another Gmail account:
  1. Log into your Gmail account
  2. Click the Settings icon in the top right corner
  3. Click See all settings
  4. Click the Accounts tab
  5. Scroll down to Grant access to your account
  6. Click Add another account
  7. Enter the email address of the person you want to add
  8. Click Next Step
  9. Click Send email to grant access
  10. The person you shared your inbox with will receive an invitation email
  11. When the person accepts the invitation, their status will change from Pending to Accepted
  12. The person can switch to your account and access your inbox
