Step-by-Step Guide to Forwarding Hostinger Email to Gmail

1. Access Gmail Settings
   • Open your Gmail inbox.
   • Click on the settings icon at the top right corner.
   • Select “See all settings.”
2. Add a Mail Account
   • Navigate to the “Accounts and Import” tab.
   • Click on “Add a mail account” next to “Check mail from other accounts.”
3. Enter Hostinger Email Address
   • Input your Hostinger email address.
   • Click “Next.”
4. Configure POP Server
   • Your username is your Hostinger email address.
   • Enter your Hostinger email password.
   • To find your POP server, log in to your Hostinger account, click on “Emails” at the top, then “Manage” next to your email account, and select “Configure desktop app.” Copy the POP server information.
   • The port number is 995.
   • Check options for “Leave a copy of retrieved message on the server,” “Always use a secure connection,” and “Label incoming messages.”
5. Add Account
   • Click “Add Account.”
6. Set Up SMTP Server
   • If you want to send emails from Gmail using your Hostinger address, select “Yes” and click “Next.”
   • For the SMTP server, use the provided SMTP information (e.g., smtp.domain.com).
   • The port number is 465.
   • Your username is your Hostinger email address, and the password is the same as your Hostinger email password.
   • Ensure “Secured connection using SSL” is checked.
   • Click “Add Account.”
7. Confirm Your Email
   • A confirmation email will be sent to your Hostinger email address.
   • Go back to your Hostinger inbox, find the confirmation email, and click the confirmation link.

Testing the Connection

To ensure everything is set up correctly, send an email to your Hostinger address and check if it appears in your Gmail inbox. If there’s a delay, remember that Gmail initially checks for new emails at longer intervals to prevent server strain. This interval will decrease as Gmail detects more frequent email activity.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If your Hostinger emails aren’t appearing in your Gmail inbox immediately, don’t worry. Gmail’s initial delay in fetching new emails is designed to prevent unnecessary strain on your Hostinger server. As Gmail detects more frequent email activity, it will start checking for new messages more often.

You can encourage Gmail to fetch emails more frequently by subscribing to newsletters or services that send daily emails. This increased activity will prompt Gmail to check for new messages more frequently.

By following these steps, you can successfully forward your Hostinger email to Gmail, making it easier to manage all your emails in one place.
