Receiving domain mail from gMail

Rather than connecting a client directly to Verrotech many people choose to import their email into gMail. You do this by adding a POP email account to your gMail account.

For this you will need your email username and password for the account (specifically the email ones, not the file upload ones).

Assuming your email is hello@example.com with a username of MAILUSERNAME and password MAILPASSWORD the settings would be as follows:

  • Email address: hello@example.com
  • POP Server: mail.verrotech.com
  • Tick “Always use a secure connection (SSL)”
  • Port: 995

We recommend you do not tick/untick “Leave a copy of the mail on the server” (unless you access it from different places) – without this ticked nothing will be deleted from your mailbox and may slow down your email/cause you to go over quota (depending on your account).

Note that in addition to the above to receive mail, gMail now requires an SMTP server to be setup for sending mail as well – the SMTP (outgoing) settings for gMail can be found in this help article.

 

Sending domain mail from gMail

In order to send mail from gMail as another domain (one hosted with Verrotech) you need to configure some options.

For this you will need your email username and password (the ones used for accessing your email account, not the file upload ones).

Let’s assume your Verrotech-hosted email is hello@example.com and your username is MAILUSERNAME with password MAILPASSWORD.

The settings for gMail outgoing mail would be:

  • SMTP Server: mail.verrotech.com
  • Port: 587
  • Check: Use TLS Encryption
  • Username: MAILUSERNAME
  • Password: MAILPASSWORD
