How to Set Up a cPanel Email Account on Gmail
To add a cPanel email account to the Gmail Android app, follow these steps:
- Open the Gmail app on your Android device.
- Tap the Menu icon (usually represented by three horizontal lines) in the top-left corner of the app.
- Scroll down and select “Settings.”
- Tap “Add Account.”
- Select “Other” as the account type.
- Enter your email address (your cPanel email) and tap “Next.”
- Choose “Personal (IMAP)” or “Personal (POP3)” based on your preference:
- IMAP allows you to sync your emails across multiple devices.
- POP3 downloads your emails and stores them locally on the device.
- Enter your email password when prompted and tap “Next.”
- Configure incoming server settings:
- IMAP/POP3 server: Enter your domain name or cPanel server address (e.g., mail.yourdomain.com).
- Port: Use 993 for IMAP or 995 for POP3 (with SSL enabled).
- Security type: Choose SSL/TLS.
- Configure outgoing server settings:
- SMTP server: mail.yourdomain.com.
- Port: Use 465 or 587.
- Security type: SSL/TLS.
- Username: Your full email address.
- Password: Your email password.
- Tap Next and configure any account sync settings (like how often to check for new mail).
- Finish the setup by tapping Next again, and your cPanel email should be added to Gmail. You can now send and receive messages from your cPanel account using the Gmail app.
