Step-by-Step Guide to Add Your Website Email Address to the Gmail App

Before You Start

  • Create Email Address: Log in to your hosting provider (e.g., Hostinger) and create your custom email address (e.g., you@yourdomain.com) and password.
  • Note Down Server Details:
    • Incoming Mail Server (IMAP): imap.hostinger.com
    • Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): smtp.hostinger.com

Steps to Add the Email to Gmail App

Step 1: Open the Gmail App

  • Launch the Gmail app on your smartphone (iOS or Android).
  • Tap the Menu (☰) icon in the top left corner.
  • Scroll down and select Settings.
  • Tap Add account.

Step 2: Select Account Type

  • On the “Set up email” screen, select Other (for non-Gmail accounts).

Step 3: Enter Email Address and Password

  • Enter the email address you created at your hosting provider (e.g., you@yourdomain.com).
  • Tap Manual Setup.
  • Select the account type as IMAP or POP3 (IMAP is recommended for syncing across devices).
  • Enter your email password.

Step 4: Configure Incoming Mail Server (IMAP)

  • For the Incoming Server, enter the following:
    • IMAP Server: imap.hostinger.com (for Hostinger; adjust for your provider).
    • Port: 993
    • Security Type: SSL/TLS

Step 5: Configure Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)

  • For the Outgoing Server, enter the following:
    • SMTP Server: smtp.hostinger.com (for Hostinger; adjust for your provider).
    • Port: 587
    • Security Type: STARTTLS
    • Ensure Authentication Required is enabled and enter your email address and password again.

Step 6: Complete the Setup

  • After entering the server details, tap Next.
  • Gmail will verify the server settings. If everything is correct, the setup will complete successfully.
  • You can customize synchronization settings (e.g., how frequently to check for new emails) and notifications.

Step 7: Test the Email

  • Send a test email to ensure your account is working correctly in the Gmail app.

Congratulations!

Your custom email address is now successfully added to the Gmail app. You can now send and receive emails directly from your Gmail interface using your website’s email address.
