How To Set Up My Email in Gmail

You can use the Gmail interface to send and receive emails using an email account you create with your domain. This feature allows you to check and manage emails from both accounts in one place, like an email client (such as Outlook, Thunderbird, Mac Mail or other email applications), by setting up your domain’s email address as a POP3 account in your Gmail account.

Before you start, make sure you have these things in place:
• Your email credentials (username and password). To create an email account in cPanel, refer to this guide.
• You will also need your POP and SMTP settings. Your email settings are in your cPanel > Email Accounts > Connect Devices, aligned with your domain email address > Mail Client Manual Settings.
• Your free Gmail account.
