Troubleshooting Common Issues
Delayed Email Retrieval: If emails from Hostinger are not appearing in your Gmail inbox immediately, it’s important to know that Gmail fetches emails at intervals to reduce server load. Initially, this interval can be up to 10 minutes but can become more frequent based on your email activity.
Improving Fetch Frequency: To encourage Gmail to fetch emails more often, subscribe to daily newsletters or increase the volume of emails received. Over time, Gmail will recognize the increased activity and shorten the fetch intervals.
By following these steps, you’ll have successfully connected your Hostinger email with Gmail, making your email management more efficient.
