Step 2. Enter here your custom email address & click on Next Step



Step 3. Find SMTP details which by clicking ‘Configure Email Client‘ option under email section of your cPanel. (Ref: Step 3). You can also contact from the host for getting SMTP information.

Step 4. At configuration page, you can find your SMTP server name and PORT no.



Step 5. Depending upon your hosting environment. Few host allows to access mail over PORT 25(non-secure), and few strictly requires SSL/TLS settings due to security concern. My host requires secure settings. So, my setting will be as follows. Although, I recommend using 587 port.

Step 6. Now, It’s time to verify the email address to send email from custom domain via Gmail. Kindly, Check your custom email inbox, click on confirmation link.

or, manually enter the verification code. Both should work perfectly fine.

Step 7. For your convenience, you should choose ‘Reply from the same address the message was sent to.

Step 8. You can test it via composing a new Email. You will see it is working fine and now you can send the email to anyone with your custom email address, without opening cPanel web-mail client.

Step 9. You can set your custom email in Gmail as your default email for compose email dialogue box. This feature you can get at Gmail setting > Accounts and Import.

In HTML mode of Gmail, you can’t change ‘from email’ directly from composing mail box, so this technique will improve the experience of using Email even on slow Internet connections.

Kindly don’t compromise with Security. I would highly recommend you to keep update your mobile number and make sure you enable 2-Step verification in your Gmail Account Settings. Since you know well that Gmail is not like Yada..Yada fake Facebook account. You might be using Gmail ID to sign in so many other Google services and Third-Party application too. Hence, security of this email is extremely important. You can manage this settings at accounts.google.com under sign in option.
