How to add ovh mail to gmail

To add an OVH mail account to Gmail, you'll need to set up a POP3 or IMAP account in Gmail. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you do so:

Prerequisites:

1. You have an OVH mail account (e.g., [your_email_address]@your_domain.com).
2. You have a Gmail account (e.g., [your_gmail_email_address]@gmail.com).

Step 1: Enable POP3 or IMAP in OVH

1. Log in to your OVH control panel.
2. Go to the "Mail" section.
3. Click on "Settings" next to your email address.
4. Scroll down to the "POP3/IMAP" section.
5. Enable POP3 or IMAP by toggling the switch to "On".
6. Note down the POP3/IMAP server settings, which should be provided in the OVH control panel.

Step 2: Set up POP3 or IMAP in Gmail

1. Log in to your Gmail account.
2. Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner and select "See all settings".
3. Go to the "Accounts and Import" tab.
4. Click on "Add a POP3 mail account" or "Add a mail account" (depending on your Gmail version).
5. Enter your OVH email address and password.
6. Select "POP3" or "IMAP" as the account type.
7. Enter the POP3/IMAP server settings from OVH:
   • Server: [pop3/imap_server]@your_domain.com (e.g., pop3.your_domain.com or imap.your_domain.com)
   • Port: 110 (POP3) or 143 (IMAP)
   • Username: your OVH email address
   • Password: your OVH email password
8. Click "Add account" to complete the setup.

Step 3: Configure Gmail to check for new mail

1. Go back to the "Accounts and Import" tab.
2. Click on "Edit" next to your OVH email account.
3. Under "Check mail from other accounts", select "Yes".
4. Choose how often you want Gmail to check for new mail from your OVH account.

Tips and considerations:

• Make sure to enable POP3 or IMAP in OVH and set up the correct server settings in Gmail.
• If you're using IMAP, you may need to configure your email client (e.g., Microsoft Outlook) to use IMAP instead of POP3.
• Keep in mind that using POP3 or IMAP may affect the synchronization of your email accounts. You may need to adjust your settings to ensure that your emails are properly synced across both accounts.
• If you encounter any issues, you can try resetting your OVH email account password or contacting OVH support for assistance.

By following these steps, you should be able to add your OVH mail account to Gmail and start receiving emails from both accounts in one place.
