Using GMail's Mail Server for your custom E-Mail

Created: Thursday, 28 November 2013 Written by Ehab Eldeeb

In this topic, we will setup GMail so that when you receive an E-Mail on (yourname@yourdomain.com), it comes directly to your GMail's inbox

Not that only, but you could send E-Mails as (yourname@yourdomain.com) from your GMail as well !

This service is also available for Hotmail (I think?) .. But we will be using GMail in this example..

First Step

Enter your Google account information (login normally)

Second Step

Click on the gear on the top-right corner, then click on "settings" as shown below..

Third Step - Send Mail as

Simple Steps, as shown in the images below

1- Click on "Add another email address you own"

2- Enter your Name and Email as shown below, and click Next

3- Tick "Send through Gmail (easier to setup)", and click Next

4- Click on "Send Verification"

5- Get the confirmation code from the verification E-Mail that you will get on the host you are hosting your domain at..
Put the comformation code and click "Verify"

Now you can send E-Mails using (yourname@yourdomain.com) from your GMail account

Fourth Step - Receive Mail using POP3

Simple Steps, as shown in the images below

1- Click on "Add a POP3 account you own"

2- Write your E-Mail and click Next

3- In this window, write your E-Mail again, and your password (password for yourname@yourdomain.com not your gmail password)
POP Server, you will get this address from your host .. Write it down and click "Add Account"

Now you can get all E-Mails coming to (yourname@yourdomain.com) right into your GMail inbox

We are done!

Congratulations! You can now Send and Receive E-Mails for your custom E-Mail using GMail's inbox :)
