How to connect domain mail id into gmail

To connect your domain mail ID to Gmail, you'll need to set up a few things. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you do so:

Prerequisites:

  1. You have a domain name (e.g., example.com) and a web hosting service (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.).
  2. You have a Gmail account (if you don't have one, create one).
  3. You have access to your domain's DNS settings (Domain Name System).

Step 1: Create a TXT record

  1. Log in to your domain's DNS settings (e.g., GoDaddy's DNS Manager, Namecheap's DNS Manager, etc.).
  2. Create a new TXT record with the following settings:
    • Host: @ (or your domain name, e.g., example.com)
    • Type: TXT
    • Value: v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all (this is a standard SPF record)
  3. Save the changes.

Step 2: Create a MX record

  1. Create a new MX record with the following settings:
    • Host: @ (or your domain name, e.g., example.com)
    • Type: MX
    • Priority: 10 (or any other priority value)
    • Value: mail.google.com (or alt1.aspmx.l.google.com for redundancy)
  2. Save the changes.

Step 3: Verify your domain with Google

  1. Log in to your Gmail account.
  2. Go to the Google Admin Console (https://admin.google.com).
  3. Click on "Apps" and then "Domains".
  4. Enter your domain name (e.g., example.com) and click "Add domain".
  5. Follow the verification process (e.g., upload a TXT record, add a CNAME record, or use a third-party verification method).

Step 4: Set up your domain's email settings

  1. Log in to your domain's email settings (e.g., cPanel, Plesk, etc.).
  2. Update your email settings to use Gmail's SMTP server:
    • SMTP server: smtp.gmail.com
    • Port: 587 (or 25 for non-SSL)
    • Username: Your Gmail username (e.g., [email protected])
    • Password: Your Gmail password
  3. Save the changes.

Step 5: Test your domain email

  1. Send an email from your domain email address (e.g., [email protected]) to a test email address (e.g., [email protected]).
  2. Check your Gmail account to ensure the email was received and delivered correctly.

That's it! Your domain mail ID should now be connected to your Gmail account. If you encounter any issues, feel free to ask, and I'll do my best to help you troubleshoot.
