Can anyone tell me if there s better way to setup 2 accounts? Here's the background. I have a public email address that's an outlook.com address and a private Gmail address. I forward all of my outlook emails to my Gmail account as I want to prevent my Gmail account from being discovered by spammers. Right now I have AquaMail setup so my Gmail account is the inbound mail server and my outbound SMTP server is my outlook server just in case someone would decide to view the original message showing headers. From a setup standpoint in AquaMail my outlook address is my account name and I've received notice from Microsoft that authentication for that account must be OARTH2 before 9/16/24. Right now within my account both the inbound and outbound server settings work with password authentication but I'm pretty sure this isn't going to work soon.
What I'm wondering is whether I'm doing this all wrong. What I'm wondering is whether I should setup my Gmail account as a second account but I'm concerned about the ramifications of having 2 SMTP servers defined. Can you have two IMAP accounts going to the same, combined consolidated inbox? Can I setup the GMAIL account either initially or after configuring it for OARTH2 so it has no SMTP server so that all of my outbound mail still reflects my outlook credentials?
Any advise or alternatives will be appreciated.
