Gmail POP3
Set up Gmail to manage multiple email addresses using Gmail POP3
POP stands for Post Office Protocol. This is the function that allows Gmail to go and get your emails from your other email accounts and bring them into Gmail. In Gmail you can POP up to five addresses into the one Gmail address.
For example Gmail POP3 will go to Hotmail's server and pick up any emails addressed to your Hotmail address and download them to the Gmail server.
You could do the same with a company address and any other email account that allows POP3.
