You can add your GoZen Host email account to Gmail and manage everything from one inbox. Gmail fetches your hosting email via IMAP and sends replies through your hosting SMTP server, so recipients see your custom domain address.

Prerequisites

  • A GoZen Host email account already created (see Setting Up Email Accounts)
  • Your email credentials (email address and password)
  • Your server hostname (found in cPanel > Email Accounts > Connect Devices)

Server Settings

You’ll need these values during setup:

SettingValue
Incoming server (IMAP)mail.yourdomain.com
IMAP Port993
IMAP SecuritySSL/TLS
Outgoing server (SMTP)mail.yourdomain.com
SMTP Port465
SMTP SecuritySSL/TLS
UsernameYour full email address (e.g., you@yourdomain.com)
PasswordThe password you set when creating the account

Adding Your Account to Gmail

  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 Check email from other accounts, click Add a mail account

Step 1: Import Email (IMAP)

  1. Enter your full email address (e.g., you@yourdomain.com) > Next
  2. Select Import emails from my other account (POP3) or choose Link accounts with Gmailify if available
  3. For POP3/IMAP setup:
    • Username: you@yourdomain.com
    • Password: your email password
    • POP/IMAP Server: mail.yourdomain.com
    • Port: 993 (IMAP) or 995 (POP3)
    • Check Always use a secure connection (SSL)
    • Check Label incoming messages (helps you filter them)
  4. Click Add Account

Step 2: Send As

Gmail will ask if you also want to send email as this address:

  1. Select Yes, I want to be able to send mail as you@yourdomain.com
  2. Enter your name as you want it to appear > Next
  3. SMTP Server: mail.yourdomain.com
  4. Port: 465
  5. Username: you@yourdomain.com
  6. Password: your email password
  7. Select Secured connection using SSL
  8. Click Add Account

Step 3: Verify

Gmail sends a confirmation code to your hosting email. Since you just set up importing, it may take a few minutes to arrive:

  1. Check your cPanel webmail for the verification email
  2. Enter the code in Gmail (or click the confirmation link in the email)
  3. Done

Setting as Default Send Address

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 you@yourdomain.com address.

Troubleshooting

ProblemFix
“Authentication failed”Double-check username (must be full email address) and password. Reset the password in cPanel if unsure
“Connection timed out”Try port 993 with SSL. Make sure your ISP or network doesn’t block outgoing connections on these ports
Emails not arriving in GmailGmail checks POP3 accounts periodically, not instantly. IMAP is faster. Verify SPF and DKIM records at GoZen DNS Inspector
Sent emails going to spamSet up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records. See Email Delivery Problems
“Certificate mismatch” warningUse mail.yourdomain.com as the server, not the server hostname. Make sure SSL is active on the mail subdomain
