How To Forward GoDaddy Email To Gmail

RECEIVING EMAIL ON YOUR GMAIL ACCOUNT

1. Sign in to your Google account and open Gmail.
2. Click on the ‘Settings’ icon. It is the gear icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
3. In the dropdown menu, press ‘Settings’ again.
4. From the ‘Settings’ submenu, click on the ‘Accounts and Imports’ bar.
5. Click on ‘Check mail from other accounts’.
6. Here you type your GoDaddy email and press ‘Next’.
7. Tick ‘Import emails from my other account (POP3)’. A new window will appear.
8. Your username is your full e-mail. (yourdomain@domainname.com)
9. Type in your password.
10. Type pop.secureserver.net in the POP server bar.
11. The port should be 110 or 995.
12. Tick the ‘Always use secure connection’ box.
13. Check ‘Label incoming messages’ to make it easier to distinguish between the emails sent to your personal account and your GoDaddy account.
14. Click ‘Add Account’.

This will merge your GoDaddy account with your Gmail and you will receive messages directed to both address in the same inbox.

SENDING AN EMAIL FROM GODADDY

If you want to send emails from your GoDaddy address or reply directly to them, you have to follow a similar procedure.

1. In the same ‘Accounts and Imports’ window from Step 4 in the previous section, you should see a ‘Send Mail As’ option.
2. Click on ‘Add another email address’.
3.  Enter your name and your email.
4. Check ‘Treat as an alias’ only if you’re the sole user of the GoDaddy address you want to connect to your Gmail account. That’s because Gmail will treat this address as an alias of your own personal email address. Don’t check this option if you are writing from the GoDaddy address on behalf of your boss, colleagues, or the owner of the website the address is linked to.
5. In the SMTP Server field, enter ‘smtpout.secureserver.net’. If you are in Asia, type ‘smtpout.asia.secureserver.net’. For Europe, type ‘smtpout.europe.secureserver.net’.
6. Enter your email address in the Username field and your password in the Password field.
7. Check ‘Secured connection using SSL’.
8. When asked for your username, enter your full email address.
9. The port should be 465.
10. Click ‘Use SSL’
11. Click ‘Add Account’.

Once done, you should receive an email address that will confirm you are now the owner of both merged accounts. You will have to go through an authentication process which should be pretty simple, certainly much easier than what you’ve done so far.
