Configure Outgoing Server (SMTP) Settings
After completing the first step of adding the email account to Gmail, you now need to configure the outgoing server settings to send emails from your account. To do this:
Select the option Yes, I want to send emails as "..."
Click on Next
Enter the name of your email box that you want recipients to see. Click on Next Step.
Advice: If your Gmail address is your primary address and your other email address is reserved for receiving, you can check the box "Treat as an alias". Use the following settings for outgoing email: SMTP Server: mail.yourdomainname Username: your email address Password: the password you use to log into Webmail Port: 465 Secure Connection: SSL Click on Add Account to Continue.
Gmail will then send you an email with a confirmation code. 7. Log in to Webmail. 8. Open the email Gmail Confirmation - Send Mail as "...". 9. Copy the confirmation code from the email. 10. Paste the verification code into the field and click on Verify.
Your email account is now created and configured. You can send and receive emails on Gmail.
