How it works

Gmail can fetch mail from another mailbox. It uses a method called POP3, which copies new mail into Gmail. Gmail can also send mail as your domain address. It does this through SMTP, which is the system that carries outgoing mail, like a post office.

What you need first

  • Your full email address on your domain.
