Facebook reviews by long-term WPX customers

 

In this article, we will explain how to connect your WPX email account with your Gmail account. This will allow you to see emails sent to your WPX email from your Gmail account.

If you want to learn how to set up G-Suite (formerly known as Google Apps), then you can find out how with this article.

 

Step 1: Forward your email addresses to your Gmail account.

You can forward any of your email addresses directly to your Gmail account. You can view the emails that are sent to your other email accounts from your Gmail, after you have forwarded the addresses to Gmail. To learn how to set up forwarding, you can read this article in our Knowledgebase.

 

Step 2: Access your Gmail settings

The first thing you need to do is to log in to your Google account.

 

 

Then access your Gmail Settings.

 

 

Click on the Accounts and Import tab

 

 

Within that tab, you will see a section titled: “Send mail as“. To begin the process of adding another email address to your account, click on “Add another email address”

 

 

Step 3: Configure your Gmail account

A new window will open:

 

 

 

Fill out the name you want associated with the email address you’re connecting to Gmail in the ‘Name’ field.

The email address you want to connect should go in the ‘Email address’ field.

Keep ‘Treat as an alias’ checked, then click on ‘Next Step’.

 

Now you will need to configure Gmail to use our server’s SMTP

 

 

Under SMTP Server, you need to put the name of the server you are on and under Username and Password, you need to provide the credentials for your email account. When you create your WPX email account you will receive these login details in an email. You can see how to find these details here.

After you fill out the form and click Add Account, Google will send you an email to verify the account you have added.

 

 

In the message you received, you will find 2 options to verify the account:

1) To enter a confirmation code in the window and hit Verify.

 

 

2) Or to click the confirmation link in the email you receive.

 

Once you’re done, the configuration window will close and you will be back at Accounts and Import. There, you will now see a new option ‘When replying to a message’.

 

 

Check it to say Reply from the same address the message was sent to and you are done!
