How do I enable email support in Gmail or Outlook?

We have a domain name (for example, example.com , register on GoDaddy ), and now we would like to use our own email address (for example, contact@example.com ), but we do not intend to manage the email server associated with the email, we just want to forward mail to a mailbox to a Gmail or Outlook.etc account.

So, someone will write a letter to the address contact@example , then we can check it in Gmail or Outlook.

How to configure all of the above? Any complete tutorial can help?

Who did you register your domain name with? Lightness / difficulty depends on this. The following steps assume that your DNS registrar suggests sending e-mail. If they do not, the steps will be too involved to discuss here.

Incoming mail :

  • STEP 1. Make sure your DNS registrar forwards your letters to Gmail

Even if you want Gmail to handle this mail, emails still need one of your DNS registrar mail servers to redirect them. This entire mail server will redirect gerald@example.com to jerry@gmail.com , but without it you blindly send emails to gerald@example.com on Google, and Google will not know which of them the users to whom the mail is intended.

A Brief History: Go to your DNS registrar website and find the “Email” or “Email Forwarding” section where you can specify what you want to forward to and to which Gmail addresses (s).

  • STEP 2. Change the DNS registrar of the DNS record to point to your DNS registrar mail server.

Then you may also need to set an “MX record” for “example.com” to point to your DNS registrar mail servers. Your registrar will probably install this for you, or at least provide instructions when you set up your email. See, the people who send you the email will first send it to your DNS registrar who will send the Google emails.

  • GoDaddy.com re-help pages re: setup Inbox Forwarding:

I inform you that you registered your godaddy.com domain - they have a tutorial on how to set up mail forwarding to this web page . The tutorial seems pretty good. I notice one confusing step: you should literally use "smtp.secureserver.net" as the mx entry, they make it look like an example. "smtp.secureserver.net" is actually a GoDaddy server, and the article does not make this very clear.

If you want to see the passage, some guy even did

So, once you have your inbox configured, you can tell your Gmail account that your outgoing mail should be sent with " gerald@example.com ". You can do this by visiting this settings section of your Gmail account:

Settings> Accounts> Send Email As:
