How to Set Up Your cPanel Email in Gmail (Webmail)
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to configure your cPanel email account with Gmail. This allows you to check and send emails from your cPanel email directly through Gmail.
For the purpose of this tutorial, we will use email@
setup-cpanel-webmail-gmail.com as an example. Be sure to replace it with your actual email account settings.
Step 1: Log into Your Gmail Account
- Go to gmail.com and log into your existing Gmail account.
- Once logged in, click the gear icon at the top-right corner to open the Quick Settings menu.
- Select See all settings.
Step 2: Add Your cPanel Email Account
- Navigate to the Accounts and Import tab at the top of the settings page.
- Look for the section labeled Check mail from other accounts and click Add a mail account.
- A pop-up window will appear. If not, check your browser’s pop-up blocker settings.
Step 3: Enter Your cPanel Email Address
- In the pop-up, enter your cPanel email address (e.g.,
email@setup-cpanel-webmail-gmail.com
), then click Next. - Choose the Import emails from my other account (POP3) option, then click Next.
Step 4: Configure Incoming Mail Settings
On the next screen, you’ll need to input your email server details. Use the following settings:
- Username: Your full email address (e.g.,
email@setup-cpanel-webmail-gmail.com
) - Password: The password associated with your cPanel email
- POP Server:
mail.yourdomain.com
(replaceyourdomain.com
with your actual domain) - Port: 995
- Always use a secure connection (SSL) when retrieving mail – Ensure this is checked.
Once you’ve entered these settings, click Add Account.
Step 5: Configure Outgoing Mail (Optional)
If you want to send emails from Gmail using your cPanel address, select Yes, I want to be able to send mail as…, and click Next.
- In the next window, confirm the name you want to appear when sending emails.
- Decide whether to treat this as an alias. If you want to send replies from the same cPanel address, uncheck Treat as an alias.
- Click Next Step.
Step 6: Configure SMTP Settings
You’ll now need to configure the SMTP settings to allow Gmail to send emails through your cPanel account:
- SMTP Server:
mail.yourdomain.com
- Port: 465 (for SSL)
- Username: Your full email address (e.g.,
email@setup-cpanel-webmail-gmail.com
) - Password: Your email account password
- Secure connection: Choose SSL.
Click Add Account once everything is filled in.
Step 7: Verify Your Email Address
Google will send a confirmation code to your cPanel email account. Log into your webmail or check it via your Gmail inbox (if the POP settings have synced), find the email, and copy the verification code.
Enter this code into Gmail, then click Verify.
Step 8: You’re All Set!
Now that your cPanel email is connected to Gmail, you can send and receive emails using your cPanel address directly from your Gmail inbox. When composing a new email, simply select which address you want to send from using the drop-down next to the “From” field.
