Setting up Domain Email in Gmail!

You can set up your domain email (yourname@yourdomain.com) in GMAIL, which means you can send and receive your domain email right from GMAIL.


In gmail, go to mail settings (under the blue gear in the far upper right corner), choose "Accounts and Import.” Under “Check mail using POP3” click the box that says: “Add POP3 email account” and follow the instructions. It’s really quite simple.


Put in your email addy (yourname@yourdomain.com)

Username is full email addy: yourname@yourdomain.com

Pw: xxxx

POP Server: mail.yourdomain.com (port 110 is fine)

Choose: “Send through yourdomain.com SMTP servers”

SMTP Server: mail.yourdomain.com

Click “Always use a secure connection (SSL) when sending mail”

That’s it!


You can even then send using that account, which is awesome.


Make sure to NOT CLICK the box that says "Leave a copy of retrieved messages on the server." – this way, while you can save emails in Gmail, our server won’t be overrun with a million saved messages!


Note, if your domain account is already set up in gmail, to remove copies from server do this:

In gmail, go to mail settings (under the blue gear in the far upper right corner), choose "Accounts and Import." Under "Check mail using Pop3," on the far right click on "edit info." Then UNCLICK the box that says "Leave a copy of retrieved messages on the server."


That's it!

Simple!
