This guide will provide you with detailed instructions to add your email with My Hosting Bubble on your Gmail Account.
- Firstly we will begin by opening your Gmail from the drop down menu on the right hand side of your Google browser window.
- At the top right go to settings icon, and select ‘Settings’.
- Now click ‘Accounts and Import’ then in the ‘Import mail and contacts’ Section click on ‘Import mail and contacts’.
- Now enter your email address of the account you want to add and hit ‘Continue’.
- Now enter your password, followed by your Pop username (this is the email address you want to add), and the POP server name (this is imap.myhostingbubble.com) and click ‘Continue‘.
- You will now be given a list of import options, the ’Import mail’ and ‘Add label to imported mail’ options are already ticked, you want to tick the ‘leave a copy of retrieved message on the server’ so Imap will work (view emails on all devices/apps). The ‘Add label to all imported mail’ automatically adds the email address being added as the ‘label’ however you may want to change it, for example to a company name, once you are happy with this click ‘Start Import’.
- You should now have a message telling you your messages are being imported.
- Click ‘OK‘ to finish. Depending on the size of your email account it may take some time to download all your messages to Gmail, typically this is a quick process, and you will have your latest emails in your Gmail account shortly.
