How to configure Gmail with my webmail?

Gmail has built-in functionality that allows you to check emails from external accounts using the POP3 email protocol. To add an email hosted here in your Gmail interface, follow the steps below

Incoming Mail Configuration

• Sign in to your Gmail Account.
• Choose Settings, from the Settings drop-down under your profile picture.

• Go to Accounts and Import.
• Under the section Check mail from other accounts, choose Add a mail account.
• Enter your Email address (e.g. user@yourdomainname.com).

• Click Next.
• Username: enter your full email address (e.g. user@yourdomainname.com)
• Password: enter the password for the above email address
• POP Server: Always (yourdomainname.com) Unless specified otherwise.
• POP3 port: 995
• Leave a copy of retrieved message on the server (optional)
• Check Always use a secure connection (SSL) when retrieving mail.

• Click on Add Account.

Continue with the SMTP server setup if you want to send mail from your email address:

Outgoing Mail (SMTP)

• Select Yes, I want to be able to send mail as user@yourdomainname.com

• Select treat as an Alias.
• SMTP server: Use the same secure server as you did in the incoming settings configuration. Always (yourdomainname.com) Unless specified otherwise.
• SMTP port: 465
• Username: enter your full email address (e.g. user@yourdomainname.com).
• Password: the password for this email account.
• Check the Secured connection using SSL option as well.

• Click on Add Account.

Gmail will send you a verification email to your new Gmail Account so that you have to approve, so you can use the SMTP functionality (your new email address) This email can take up to 5 minutes to come through.

Once your account is added you may wish to set this as your default email address for Gmail if you will be using this new email more regularly.

Go to Settings > Accounts and Import > Scroll down to ‘Send mail as’ > Click on ‘make default’ on the email address you want to be used as your default.

If you have multiple email addresses in one Gmail account it is a good idea to label them via color to keep things organized.

Hover over your email on the left hand side of Gmail and select the 3 dots, Then you can select your new label color.

Finally we would recommend downloading the Gmail app on your mobile and using this as opposed to using the regular mail app on your mobile.
