Today I will be walking you through the step by step process of configuring your Horde website email settings for use within your Google Gmail account. If you have not already, you will want to log into your Google Gmail email account. Once you are logged into Google Gmail, you will want to browse to “Settings”, then click on “Accounts and Import” tab. Now you will want to click on “Add POP3 mail account you own”, if you want to just check your Horde email messages within your Google Gmail account.
You will need to follow some prompts by entering your full email address, for example johndoe@domain.com. You will want to enter in your Horde username. You may need to use your full email address, for example johndoe@domain.com as your username, including @ symbol and domain name.
Now you can enter in your Horde email account password. Then you will need to select a check next to “Leave a copy of retrieved message on the server” if you do not want to download your Horde email messages into your Google Gmail account. You will want to enter in your correct “POP Server” mail server address, for example mail.domain.com.
Now select the correct port number for your mail server, for example port one hundred ten 110. That default port number of 110 should work, but you can try any of those other ports in that drop down list, if you know all other email settings are correct. Now you can click on “Add Account”.
Also, you can send email as if you are using your Horde email account directly within your Google Gmail account. You can select “Yes, I want to be able to send mail as” radio button for this option or select “No (you can change this later)”. Now click on “Next Step”.
You will want to enter information about your other email address such as “Name” and reply to “Email address:”. You can click on “Next Step”. Then you will want to select “Send mail through your SMTP server?” settings.
You can choose to send email through the Google Gmail system or through your domain simple message transfer protoco servers. You will need to enter your “SMTP Server”, for example smtp.domain.com, username, password, and port number, if you choose to send email through your domain simple message transfer protocol server. You can now click on “Next Step”.
You will be asked to verify your email address if you wish to send your johndoe@domain.com email through the Google Gmail email system. You can click on “Send Verification” to have the Google Gmail email system send you instructions over email for a verification process. You are now setup to receive and send your Horde email with your Google Gmail account.
These instructions were created for use with accessing your Horde email account within the Google Gmail system. However, you can certainly use these instructions as a basis for other types of webmail email accounts. The specific information such as server address, port, etcetera would differ.
