Visit yourdomain.com/cpanel or use the login link in your Essex Web Hosts welcome email. Enter your username and password to access the cPanel dashboard, your hub for managing hosting tasks like email setup.

In cPanel, find the “Email” section and click “Email Accounts.” Hit “Create,” then enter your desired email (e.g., info@yourdomain.co.uk), choose a secure password, and set a mailbox size. Click “Create Account” to set up your professional email in Gmail.

Return to Email Accounts, locate your new email, and click “Connect Devices.” Copy the IMAP, SMTP, and port settings (e.g., mail.yourdomain.co.uk, ports 993 and 587). These tell Gmail how to connect to your email. Keep this page handy.

In Gmail, click the gear icon (top right) and select “See all settings.” Go to “Accounts and Import,” then click “Add a mail account” under “Check mail from other accounts.” Enter your custom email (e.g., info@yourdomain.co.uk) and click “Next.” Choose “Import emails from my other account (POP3).”

Input your email password and the POP server settings from cPanel (e.g., mail.yourdomain.co.uk, port 995). Check “Leave a copy of retrieved messages on the server” for backups. Click “Add Account.” Then, set up sending with your SMTP server (e.g., mail.yourdomain.co.uk, port 587), username, and password. Click “Add Account.”
