To connect a cPanel email account to Gmail, you can follow these steps to add it as a POP3 account, which will allow Gmail to check your cPanel email and send mail using your cPanel address. Here’s how to set it up:

Step 1: Get Your cPanel Email Settings

1. Log in to your cPanel account.
2. Go to Email Accounts and locate the email address you want to connect.
3. Under Connect Devices or Set Up Mail Client, find the Incoming Server (POP3) and Outgoing Server (SMTP) details.

Step 2: Add Your cPanel Email to Gmail

1. Open Gmail and go to Settings (gear icon on the top right).
2. Click See all settings.
3. Go to the Accounts and Import tab.
4. Under Check mail from other accounts, click Add a mail account.
5. In the pop-up, enter your full cPanel email address and click Next.
6. Choose Import emails from my other account (POP3) and click Next.

Step 3: Enter Your cPanel Email Settings in Gmail

1. Username: Enter your full email address (e.g., you@yourdomain.com).
2. Password: Enter the password for your cPanel email account.
3. POP Server: Enter the incoming (POP3) server (usually something like mail.yourdomain.com).
4. Port: Use port 995 for POP3 with SSL.
5. Check the following options as needed:
   • Leave a copy of retrieved messages on the server (optional).
   • Always use a secure connection (SSL) when retrieving mail (recommended).
   • Label incoming messages to differentiate your cPanel email from others in Gmail.
6. Click Add Account to complete the incoming mail setup.

Step 4: Set Up Sending Mail from Gmail

1. After setting up incoming mail, you’ll be prompted to set up the outgoing mail (SMTP).
2. Choose Yes, I want to be able to send mail as [your email address] and click Next.
3. Enter the following details:
   • SMTP Server: Enter the outgoing server (usually mail.yourdomain.com).
   • Port: Use port 465 for SMTP with SSL.
   • Username: Your full email address (e.g., you@yourdomain.com).
   • Password: The same password as before.
4. Select Secured connection using SSL and click Add Account.
5. Gmail will send a verification code to your cPanel email. Go to your cPanel email inbox (either through Gmail or webmail) and copy the code, then enter it in Gmail to verify.

Step 5: Start Using Your cPanel Email in Gmail

Once verification is complete, you can receive and send emails from your cPanel email directly within Gmail.

This setup allows you to handle your cPanel email entirely through Gmail, combining the convenience of Gmail’s interface with the professional look of your custom domain.
