For this setup you will need to know your email address and
password for the webmail service we setup for you. If you don’t know those
things email us at [email protected]
and we will help you find that information!
Step 1 –
Login to the Gmail account where you’d like to add your domain based emails and choose the Gear icon in top right corner, then select “See All Settings” in the dropdown
Step 2 –
Select the “Accounts and Import” tab at the top of the page, then under “Check mail from other accounts” choose the “Add a mail account” button
Step 3 –
Type in your email address in the pop-up
Step 4 –
Choose POP3 if it’s not selected and click next
Step 5 –
On the next page be sure to enter the details EXACTLY as shown with the exception of the highlighted areas, use your own Domain/URL there. Note you must choose Secure Connect/SSL and Leaving a copy of the emails on the server is always good practice. Note that the POP Server will be “mail.yourdomain.com”. Then click “Add Account”
Step 6 –
If you’d like to reply to emails from your gmail account using your domain based email then select “Yes” on the next page and click “Next”
Step 7 –
On this step you can choose a name that will display when you email people using this email account. Set this up however you’d like and click “Next Step”
Step 8 –
On this page we need to make a couple changes from the
default.
1. SMTP server must be “mail.yourdomain.com” however by default the
mail. Is missing so add that
2. Username must be the FULL email address so “info@yourdomain.com“ by
default the @yourdomain.com is missing
3. Set the Port to 465
4. Choose TLS then click Add Account
Step 9 –
Lastly it’s going to ask you to verify your account by entering a confirmation code it sends to your webmail. To access this code go to https://webmail.yourdomain.com/ (note: replace “yourdomain.com” with your actual domain name). Once there enter your FULL email address and password.
Step 10 –
Once you login you might be asked to choose a webmail client, you can choose either Horde or Roundcube, either one will work. Click on one of them and you will be taken to your inbox where you should see the email sent to you from Gmail with your verification code. Copy that code
Step 11 –
Now just paste that code into the setup box and click “verify”…viola you can send and receive your domain based emails straight from Gmail. You can still always check emails by going to webmail.yourdomain.com and looking at your inbox there as well.
