# Connect Gmail to mySMTP

> Configure Gmail to send emails through mySMTP using your own domain. Set up SMTP server settings, ports, TLS encryption, and verify your sender address.

This setup allows you to send emails **from your Gmail account using your own domain** (e.g., [you@yourdomain.com](mailto:you@yourdomain.com)) and **mySMTP** as the outbound server.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Log into Your Gmail Account">
    1. Go to [https://mail.google.com](https://mail.google.com)
    2. Click the **gear icon (⚙️)** in the top-right corner
    3. Select **See all settings**
  </Step>

  <Step title="Navigate to Accounts and Import">
    1. In the settings menu, click the **"Accounts and Import"** tab
    2. Find the section labeled **"Send mail as"**
    3. Click **"Add another email address"**
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add Your mySMTP Email Identity">
    In the pop-up window:

    | Field | Value |
    | - | - |
    | **Name** | Your sender name (e.g. "Support") |
    | **Email address** | e.g., [you@yourdomain.com](mailto:you@yourdomain.com) |
    | **Treat as an alias** | Yes (unless you want replies routed differently) |

    Click **Next Step**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure SMTP Server Settings">
    Use the following credentials:

    | Field | Value |
    | - | - |
    | **SMTP Server** | relay.xx.xxx (from setup email) |
    | **Port** | 587 |
    | **Username** | Your full mySMTP username |
    | **Password** | Your mySMTP password |
    | **Secured connection** | Select **TLS** (not SSL) |

    Click **Add Account**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify Your Email">
    1. Gmail will send a **verification code** to the address you just added (via mySMTP).
    2. Open your mailbox and retrieve the code.
    3. Enter it into the verification window in Gmail and click **Verify**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

**Done – You Are Ready to Send**

Now, when composing an email in Gmail, you will be able to choose your **mySMTP-powered address** as the sender via the "From" dropdown.
