Here is a quick tutorial on how to add a business email to your gmail account so you can send and received emails from that new email address.
In Gmail, click on your settings icon.
Then click on “See all settings”
Next, click on Accounts and Import
Look for “Check mail from other accounts” and click on Add a mail account.
Here add your email address. Then click “Next”.
Then click “Next” again.
Make sure you Username is your full email address.
Change the Port to 995.
Check the box for Always use a secure connection (SSL).
I would also check “Label incoming message” with your email address.
Then click “Add Account”.
Your email account has been added. Now we will send mail coming from your new email address.
Click the Next button.
Make sure your Name is how you want it displayed.
Then click “Next Step”.
Change the Port to 465.
Make sure your username is your full email address.
Add your password.
Make sure Secured connection using TLS is checked.
Then click Add Account.
You will need to check your email to get your confirmation code.
If it doesn’t show up in your Inbox, go click on All Mail.
Here is the email you should receive.
Copy the confirmation code in the email.
Then go back to this window and paste in your confirmation code.
Click on “Verify”.
All Done!
Now, when you compose an email…
In the From area, you can click on the drop down arrow and choose the email you want to send the email from.
One last thing… if you are expecting an email and it’s not showing up, you may need to have Gmail manually fetch it. Gmail doesn’t always fetch non-gmail emails as quickly as they should.
All you need to do is go back to the Settings gear icon, click on See all settings, and click on Accounts and Import.
Then look for Check mail from other accounts, and click on “Check mail now”.
Gmail will look for any emails that need to be fetched. You can see here that One mail was fetched.
That’s it! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
