Set Up GoZen Email in Gmail

4 min read

You can read and send your GoZen Host email from Gmail, so recipients see your custom domain address. Since early 2026, Gmail on the web no longer fetches mail from other accounts: Google retired the POP “Check mail from other accounts” option and Gmailify. Two setups still work:

• Gmail app (Android or iOS): add your GoZen mailbox as an IMAP account. The app reads and sends directly through your GoZen mail server.
• Forwarder plus Send mail as: forward your GoZen mail to your Gmail address in cPanel, then let Gmail send as your domain address through GoZen’s SMTP server. This works in Gmail on the web and in the app.

Prerequisites link

• A GoZen Host email account already created (see Setting Up Email Accounts)
• Your email credentials (email address and password)

Server Settings link

You’ll need these values during setup:

Option 1: Add the Account in the Gmail App (IMAP) link

1. Open the Gmail app on your phone
2. Tap your profile picture > Add another account
3. Choose Other
4. Enter your full email address (e.g., [email protected])
5. If asked for the account type, choose Personal (IMAP)
6. Enter your password
7. Incoming server settings: server mail.yourdomain.com, port 993, security SSL/TLS
8. Outgoing server settings: server mail.yourdomain.com, port 465, security SSL/TLS, sign-in required with the same username and password
9. Finish the setup

The mailbox appears as a separate account in the app. Messages stay on the GoZen server, so they also show up in webmail and any other IMAP client.

Option 2: Forward to Gmail and Send as Your Address link

Step 1: Forward Your GoZen Mail to Gmail link

1. Log into cPanel
2. Go to Email > Forwarders
3. Click Add Forwarder
4. Enter your GoZen address as the address to forward, and your Gmail address as the destination
5. Click Add Forwarder

A copy of every message stays in your GoZen mailbox, so you can still reach it in webmail.

Step 2: Add Send Mail As link

1. Open Gmail in your browser
2. Click the gear icon (top right) > See all settings
3. Go to the Accounts and Import tab
4. Under Send mail as, click Add another email address
5. Enter your name as you want it to appear and your GoZen address > Next Step
6. SMTP Server: mail.yourdomain.com
7. Port: 465
8. Username: [email protected]
9. Password: your email password
10. Select Secured connection using SSL
11. Click Add Account

Step 3: Verify link

Gmail sends a confirmation code to your GoZen address. With the forwarder in place, it arrives in Gmail within a few minutes. You can also find it in your cPanel webmail.

Enter the code in Gmail, or click the confirmation link in the email.

Setting as Default Send Address link

To reply using your hosting email address by default:

1. Go to Gmail Settings > Accounts and Import
2. Under Send mail as, find your hosting address
3. Click make default

Now new emails and replies will use your [email protected] address.
