Molalla.net email gmail

It looks like you're trying to set up an email account with a custom domain (molalla.net) and want to know how to use Gmail as your email provider.

Here's a step-by-step guide to help you achieve this:

Prerequisites:

  1. You need to have a custom domain (molalla.net) registered with a domain registrar (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.).
  2. You need to have a Gmail account (or create one if you don't already have one).

Step 1: Set up DNS records

To use Gmail as your email provider, you need to set up specific DNS records for your custom domain. You'll need to create the following records:

  1. MX record: This record points to Google's mail servers. The format is: mx.google.com with a priority of 1.
  2. TXT record: This record verifies your domain ownership. The format is: v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all.
  3. CNAME record: This record points to Google's mail servers. The format is: ghs.google.com with a TTL of 1 hour.

You can set up these records through your domain registrar's DNS management panel.

Step 2: Set up Gmail

  1. Log in to your Gmail account.
  2. Go to the Gear icon (Settings) and select "See all settings."
  3. Click on 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 custom domain (molalla.net) and click "Next."
  6. Follow the prompts to set up your account.

Step 3: Verify your domain

  1. Go to the Google Admin Console (https://admin.google.com).
  2. Sign in with your Gmail account credentials.
  3. Click on "Apps" and then "G Suite" (if you have a G Suite account).
  4. Click on "Domains" and then "molalla.net" (your custom domain).
  5. Click on "Verify" and follow the prompts to verify your domain ownership.

Step 4: Set up email forwarding

  1. Go to the Google Admin Console (https://admin.google.com).
  2. Sign in with your Gmail account credentials.
  3. Click on "Apps" and then "G Suite" (if you have a G Suite account).
  4. Click on "Domains" and then "molalla.net" (your custom domain).
  5. Click on "Email" and then "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab.
  6. Enable email forwarding and set up the forwarding rules as desired.

That's it! You should now be able to use Gmail as your email provider with your custom domain (molalla.net). If you encounter any issues or have further questions, feel free to ask!
