Setting up webmail in your Gmail account allows you to access and manage email from other email accounts within your Gmail interface. Here's how to set up webmail for another email account within Gmail:

Note: Before proceeding, make sure you have the login credentials (email address and password) for the webmail account you want to set up within Gmail.

1. Log in to Your Gmail Account:
Open a web browser, go to [Gmail](https://mail.google.com/), and log in to your Gmail account if you're not already logged in.

2. Access Gmail Settings:
In the top-right corner of the Gmail interface, click on the gear icon (Settings) and select "See all settings" from the dropdown menu.

3. Navigate to Accounts and Import:
In the Settings page, click on the "Accounts and Import" tab.

4. Check Email from Other Accounts:
Under the "Check mail from other accounts" section, click on the "Add an email account" link.

5. Enter the Email Address:
In the pop-up window, enter the email address of the webmail account you want to add to Gmail. Click "Next."

6. Provide Account Information:
You will be prompted to provide the following information:
- Username: Your full email address.
- Password: The password for your webmail account.
- POP Server: The incoming mail server for your webmail account. You may need to contact your webmail provider for this information.
- Port: Typically, the default POP3 port is 995 for secure connections.
- Leave a copy of retrieved messages on the server: Choose whether you want to keep copies of your emails on the webmail server.

After entering this information, click "Add Account."

7. Choose Send Email Through Your SMTP Server:
You will be asked if you want to send email using your SMTP server. Most often, you should choose "Yes," as this allows you to send emails from your Gmail account using the webmail's SMTP server. Click "Next."

8. Confirm Sending Email:
Gmail may ask you to confirm that you want to send email using your webmail account's SMTP server. Click "Next."

9. Verification Email:
Gmail will send a verification email to your webmail account. Open your webmail account, find the verification email, and follow the instructions to confirm the setup.

10. Confirmation in Gmail:
Once your webmail account is verified, Gmail will confirm the setup. You can choose to label incoming messages, archive them, or apply a filter. Click "Add Account."

Now, you should be able to access and manage emails from your webmail account within your Gmail interface. You can switch between your Gmail and webmail accounts using the "Send As" feature when composing emails, and you'll see your webmail emails in your Gmail inbox.
