In this guide, we show you how you can set up your email account in Gmail with POP3.

with New Perspective Design, our hosting services come with free domain name emails. These domain name emails are based on a webmail server alongside your web hosting. You can log into your webmail server to view and send email as your domain name email. Webmail however does not have push forwarding meaning you won’t be notified when you get mails. 

There is however a very convenient and effective manner in getting around this. This is to use your current Gmail, Yahoo, or Outlook mail client to send and receive as domain name email right from the email client itself. No webmail login, no extra accounts and it will sync wherever you have a mail client set up such as your phone, iPad, and computer. 

So at first, we are going to run through a quick and easy guide to getting your Gmail fetching mails via pop3 and sending domain name email from the comfort of your own Gmail account. 

Before you continue, we want to make you aware of the following limitations.

• Gmail only allows you to set up your email with POP and not IMAP. This means that your email only gets downloaded, it doesn’t get synced back to the server.
• Gmail only downloads emails from your Inbox. Emails in other folders, like Send and Drafts are not downloaded.
• By default, Gmail downloads the emails and then removes them from the server. We recommend that you check the option to leave a copy of the email on the server. That way you can still access your emails in Webmail.
