Hover email setup gmail

Here's a step-by-step guide to setting up hover email with Gmail:

What is Hover Email?

Hover Email is a service that allows you to create a custom email address (e.g., [yourname]@hover.com) that forwards emails to your existing Gmail account. This way, you can use a more professional or personalized email address while still keeping your emails organized in your Gmail account.

Step 1: Create a Hover Email Account

1. Go to Hover.com and sign up for an account.
2. Fill out the registration form with your desired email address (e.g., [yourname]@hover.com).
3. Verify your email address by clicking on the link sent to you by Hover.

Step 2: Set up Forwarding in Hover

1. Log in to your Hover account and go to the "Email" tab.
2. Click on "Forwarding" and then "Add a Forwarding Rule".
3. Enter your Gmail address as the forwarding address (e.g., [yourgmailaddress]@gmail.com).
4. Choose the "Forward" option and select "Forward to another email address".
5. Click "Save" to save the forwarding rule.

Step 3: Set up IMAP in Gmail

1. Log in to your Gmail account and go to the "Settings" icon (looks like a gear).
2. Click on "See all settings".
3. Go to the "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab.
4. Enable IMAP by selecting the "Enable IMAP" checkbox.
5. Click "Save Changes".

Step 4: Set up Your Hover Email Client

1. Download and install the Hover Email client (available for Windows, Mac, and mobile devices).
2. Launch the client and log in with your Hover account credentials.
3. The client will automatically detect your Gmail account and set up the connection.

Tips and Troubleshooting

• Make sure to set up the forwarding rule in Hover before setting up the IMAP connection in Gmail.
• If you're having trouble setting up the IMAP connection, try disabling and re-enabling IMAP in Gmail.
• If you're experiencing issues with email delivery, check your Hover account settings to ensure that the forwarding rule is set up correctly.
• Hover offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, so if you're not satisfied with the service, you can request a refund.

By following these steps, you should be able to set up Hover Email with your Gmail account. Enjoy your new custom email address!
