Configuring your email client: Gmail

  1. Log into your Gmail account.
  2. Click on Settings in the upper right corner.File:image01.jpg
  3. Click on the Accounts tab.
  4. Click Add a mail account you own in the Get mail from other accounts section. A new window will pop up.
  5. Enter your full email address in the new window.File:image03.jpg
  6. In the next window, enter:
    1. Your full username including the @example.com.
    2. The password for the account.
    3. The POP Server should be your access domain (s00000.gridserver.com) or your domain name (mail.example.com). Port 110 should be selected.
    4. Check “Leave a copy of retrieved message on the server” unless you want the mail to be deleted from the server once you receive it in Gmail.
    5. Check the SSL option if you want the connection to be encrypted – you should use your access domain for the server name if you choose this. Do not check the SSL option if you don’t want the connection to be encrypted.
    6. Set the label and the archive options according to personal preference.

  7. Click Add Account. You should see a confirmation screen. Leave the “Yes” option checked if you want to be able to send mail with this account. Click Next Step.File:image05.jpg
  8. Enter whatever name you want to associate with this account. Click Next Step.File:image06.jpg
  9. Decide whether you want to send through Gmail or through your (mt) Media Temple server. Either option will allow you to send with your (mt) Media Temple email address, but it is more professional to send from your (mt) Media Temple server as well. If you choose to send with your (mt) Media Temple server, enter the following information:
    1. The server name – choose your access domain (mail.nilbd.tk), or mail.example.com
    2. Choose Port 587, or 465 if you want to use encrypted outgoing mail.
    3. Your full username, including the @example.com.
    4. Your email password.
    5. Check the SSL option if you want the connection to be encrypted. You should use your access domain for the server if you choose this option. Otherwise, do not check the SSL option.
    Click Add Account.

  10. Log into your webmail account at http://example.com/webmail/.
  11. Open the Gmail Confirmation email.
  12. Either click on the provided confirmation link;
    or,
    Enter the confirmation code provided and click Verify. The small window will close automatically.File:image08.jpg
  13. You should still be in the Accounts and Import tab. You can check that Gmail is replying as desired to each email coming into your various accounts. To do this, click on the “edit info” button next to your account in the “Send mail as” section.
  14. The Accounts and Import tab is also where you can manually get the mail from your (mt) Media Temple account. Click “Check mail now.” You do not need to do this to get your mail; it just forces a manual check.File:image09.png
Congratulations. The mail for your (mt) Media Temple account will appear in your normal Gmail inbox.
