How to Add Your Business Email (info@yourdomain.com) to Gmail – Full Step-by-Step Guide

Want to manage your professional emails more efficiently? In this step-by-step guide, you’ll learn how to use your domain email in Gmail — allowing you to send and receive messages directly from your Gmail account using your business address (like info@yourdomain.com). We’ll walk you through the exact process to connect your cPanel email to Gmail, and show you how to send email from Gmail using your business email. Whether you’re a beginner or just looking for a more streamlined workflow, this guide has everything you need.

Step 1: Log in to Your Gmail Account

1. Open Gmail and log in to the account you want to use.
2. Click the gear icon in the top-right corner and choose See all settings.

Step 2: Add Your Domain Email Address (for Receiving Email)

1. Go to the Accounts and Import tab.
2. In the Check mail from other accounts section, click Add a mail account.
3. Enter your domain email address (e.g., info@yourdomain.com) and click Next.
4. Choose Import emails from my other account (POP3) and click Next again.

Step 3: Configure Receiving Settings (POP3)

Fill in your email login details. You can get these from your hosting provider or cPanel:

• Username: Your full email address (e.g., hello@yourdomain.com)
• Password: The email password you set in cPanel
• POP Server: Usually mail.yourdomain.com
• Port: Typically 995 (check your host’s instructions)
• Check Always use a secure connection (SSL)

Important Note:
If you don’t want emails to stay on your hosting server (to save space and security), uncheck the option:
Leave a copy of retrieved message on the server

Click Add Account when finished.

Step 4: Enable Sending from Gmail Using Your Domain Email

After adding the account, Gmail will ask if you want to send mail as this address.
Select “Yes, I want to be able to send mail as info@yourdomain.com” and click Next Step.

In this section, enter any name you would like in the “Name:” field. Please note that any email sent from this address will appear with this name in the recipient’s inbox. You can edit this field later if needed.

Step 5: Configure Outgoing Settings (SMTP)

Enter the SMTP details for sending email:

• SMTP Server: Usually mail.yourdomain.com
• Port: 465 or 587 (based on your host’s recommendation)
• Username: Your full email address
• Password: The same password used in cPanel
• Choose Secured connection using SSL

Click Add Account when you’re done.

Step 6: Verify Ownership

Gmail will send a verification code to info@yourdomain.com.
Since Gmail is now checking that inbox, you should receive the code shortly.
Either enter the code manually or click the verification link in the email.

It may take a few minutes to receive the confirmation email.

Final StOnce verified, Gmail will be fully connected.

Once verified, Gmail will be fully connected.
You can now send and receive emails using your domain address — all inside your Gmail inbox.
