# 📧 How to Add Your cPanel Email Address to Gmail (Send & Receive)

This guide shows you how to connect your cPanel-based email (e.g., you@yourdomain.com) to Gmail so you can send and receive messages from your custom address—right inside your Gmail inbox.

## 🛠 What You’ll Need:

- Your full email address (e.g., you@yourdomain.com)
- Your email password
- cPanel access (optional, for confirming settings)

## ✅ Step 1: Find your info in cPanel

If you already know your mail server settings, skip this step. Otherwise:

1. Log in to your cPanel.
2. Go to **Email Accounts** > find your email address > click **Connect Devices**.
3. Scroll down to see the **Manual Settings**. Keep this open—you’ll need the incoming and outgoing server info.

## 📥 Step 2: Add the Email for Receiving Mail (via POP3)

1. In **Gmail**, click the **⚙️ gear icon** (top right) > **See all settings**.
2. Go to the **Accounts and Import** tab.
3. Scroll to **Check mail from other accounts** and click **Add a mail account**.
4. Enter your full email address (e.g., you@yourdomain.com) and click **Next**.
5. Choose **Import emails from my other account (POP3)** and click **Next**.

**Settings to enter:**

- **Username**: your full email address
- **Password**: your email password
- **POP Server**: usually `mail.yourdomain.com`
- **Port**: 995
- ✅ Check **Always use a secure connection (SSL)**
- ✅ Optional: Label incoming messages
- ✅ Optional: Leave a copy of the message on the server (if you want to access your emails elsewhere too)

Click **Add Account**.

## 📤 Step 3: Set Up Sending Mail (via SMTP)

After adding the account, Gmail will ask:
**“Would you also like to be able to send mail as you@yourdomain.com?”**
Choose **Yes** and click **Next Step**.

**Settings to enter:**

- **Name**: What you want recipients to see (e.g., "Rivka from Web of Creativity")
- **Email address**: your full email address
  Leave **Treat as an alias** checked.

Click **Next Step**.

**SMTP Settings:**

- **SMTP Server**: usually `mail.yourdomain.com`
- **Port**: 465 (SSL) or 587 (TLS)
- **Username**: your full email address
- **Password**: your email password
- ✅ Use a secured connection (choose SSL for port 465, TLS for 587)

Click **Add Account**.

## 🔐 Step 4: Verify

Gmail will send a confirmation code to your domain email.
Go to **Webmail** (e.g., yourdomain.com/webmail) or your email app to grab the code.

Paste it into the Gmail popup to complete setup.

## ✅ All Done!

Now you can:

- **Read incoming mail** from your domain inside Gmail
- **Send messages** using your custom address via the Gmail interface

To make your domain email the default for sending:
Go to **Settings > Accounts and Import** > under **Send mail as**, click **make default** next to your custom address.
