Prefer the Gmail interface? Here's how to setup the email you have with us in Gmail..

If you have multiple email accounts, you can check them in Gmail. The information in this article was sourced from Gmail's official docs: add another email account to the Gmail. However, for your convenience I've included the distilled version below.

Looking for instructions for specific devices?

  1. Computer
  2. Android
  3. iPhone & iPad

Why do this?

  • You want an email address using your own domain, but you want to forward your emails to an existing gmail account.
  • You want an email address using your own domain, but you want to check it using gmail.

Important mentions: If you're hosting email with One Eleven, you're not suppose to be forwarding your emails to other email providers, including Gmail, Hotmail, Comcast, etc; it is against our terms of service. Instead, please follow the instructions outlined in this article. The reason is because not only are you forwarding your legitimate messages, but your also forwarding the spam, and other email providers see your spam as if it's originating from One Eleven servers which gives us a bad (ip) reputation, which affects all of our other email customers deliverability.

Check mail from other accounts

You can import both old and new messages from another email account. 

Note: You can only move messages, not folders or labels from your other account.

  1. On your computer, sign in to the Gmail account you want to import to.
  2. In the top right, click Settings Settings and then See all settings.
  3. Click the Accounts and import tab.
  4. In the "Check mail from other accounts" section, click Add a mail account.
  5. Type the email address of the other account, then click Next.
  6. Make a selection and click Next.
  7. Type your password.
  8. Recommended: Check the boxes next to the options below:
    • "Always use a secure connection (SSL) when retrieving mail"
    • "Label incoming messages"
    • Leave the other boxes unchecked.
  9. Click Add Account.

Tip: If you're still getting emails, check if automatic forwarding is set up in your other account, then do a search on how to turn it off in your other account. If you want to delete emails that were already imported, learn how to delete them. 

 

Send emails from a different address or alias

If you own another email address, you can send mail as that address. For example:

  • Yahoo, Outlook, or other non-Gmail address
  • Your work, school, or business domain or alias, like @yourschool.edu or youralias@gmail.com
  • Another Gmail address

Tip: You can send emails from up to 99 different email addresses.

Step 1: Add an address you own

  1. On your computer, open Gmail.
  2. In the top right, click Settings Settings and then See all settings.
  3. Click the Accounts and import or Accounts tab.
  4. In the "Send mail as" section, click Add another email address.
  5. Enter your name and the address you want to send from.
  6. Click Next Step and then Send verification.
  7. For school or work accounts, enter the SMTP server (for example, smtp.gmail.com or smtp.yourschool.edu) and the username and password on that account.
  8. Click Add Account.

Step 2: Confirm the address

  1. Sign in to the account you added.
  2. Open the confirmation message you got from Gmail.
  3. Click the link.

Step 3: Change the "From" address
