If you want to read and send email from your Electric Embers mailbox using GMail, you have two options: set GMail up to grab messages periodically using POP, or set up a server side filter that will redirect each incoming message to GMail.
Method 1 for receiving mail: POP import
This method requires slightly more configuration than the second method below, but will be the most robust and reliable. Follow Google’s instructions to set up a new POP3 account import, with special attention to these settings:
-
-
- Username: (your full email address)
- POP3 Server: mail.electricembers.net
- Port: 995
- Always use a secure connection (SSL)
-
Method 2 for receiving mail: Forwarding
Login to the mailbox using Webmail and click Settings –> Forwarding and choose “Redirect to” and enter the desired destination gmail address. Set the Status to On, and click Save! To set up gmail to send mail using your Electric Embers hosted mailbox, see “Sending Mail From your Electric Embers address using gmail” below.
When asked about sending, choose Yes, I want to be able to send mail as… this new address, then enter the settings below for sending using gmail.
