How to Use Your Domain Email with Gmail
You can set up your domain-based email address (e.g., info@yourdomain.com) inside Gmail so that you can both receive emails (via POP3) and send emails (via Gmail’s “Send Mail As” feature).
Step 1: Add Your Domain Email to Gmail (POP3 for Receiving Emails)
-
Sign in to your Gmail account.
-
Click the gear icon (⚙) in the top-right → select See all settings.
-
Open the Accounts and Import tab.
-
Under Check mail from other accounts, click Add a mail account.
-
Enter your full domain email address (e.g.,
info@yourdomain.com) → click Next. -
Choose Import emails from my other account (POP3) → click Next.
-
Fill in your account details:
-
Username: Your full email address (
info@yourdomain.com) -
Password: The password for your email account
-
POP Server:
mail.yourdomain.com(or the mail server name provided by your hosting provider) -
Port: 995 (with SSL) or 110 (without SSL)
-
✅ Select Always use a secure connection (SSL) if available
-
(Optional) Check Leave a copy of retrieved message on the server if you want a copy stored on the server as well.
-
-
Click Add Account to finish.
Step 2: Enable “Send Mail As” in Gmail (to Send from Your Domain Email)
-
After completing Step 1, Gmail will ask: “Would you also like to be able to send mail as info@yourdomain.com?” → Select Yes.
-
If you skipped, you can add it later under: Settings → Accounts and Import → Send mail as → Add another email address.
-
-
Enter your name and your domain email address.
-
Keep Treat as an alias checked → click Next Step.
-
Enter the SMTP server details:
-
SMTP Server:
mail.yourdomain.com -
Port: 465 (SSL) or 587 (TLS)
-

info@yourdomain.com) -
Password: Your email account password
-
-
Choose Secured connection using SSL (recommended) or TLS if available.
-
Click Add Account.
-
Gmail will send a verification code to your domain email.
-
Since POP3 is already set up, the verification email should appear in your Gmail inbox.
-
Enter the code in Gmail to confirm.
-
✅ You’re All Set!
-
You can now receive all domain emails directly in Gmail.
-
When composing a new message, you can select From → info@yourdomain.com so recipients see your domain email instead of your Gmail address.
