Your Poism Digital Web Hosting account (except for Basic Web Hosting package), includes full fledged POP3/IMAP/SMTP email.  Fetching and sending this mail through Gmail is a great trick, as it is not only extremely convenient but also will allow your mail to be stored on Gmail's servers rather than taking up precious space on your webhosting server.  Also best of all, it alleviates the need of configuring additional accounts on all of your mobile devices - as soon as you add your PoismDigital email address to your Gmail account, all of your devices running the Gmail app will immediately be able to send and recieve mail using that address!

Instructions on configuring GMAIL to send and receive mail through your Poism Digital email account.

In CPANEL:

  1. Login to CPANEL to create your email accounts.

In GMAIL:

  1. Login to https://www.gmail.com

  2. Click on the Gear icon at upper right corner of Gmail inbox and go to Settings.

  3. In Settings, click on Accounts and Import tab.

  4. Under "Check mail from other accounts (using POP3): select "Add a POP3 mail account you own"

A popup window will appear which requires the following information:

  1. Your domain email address

  2. Your username (this is also your email address)

  3. Your password

  4. POP3 Server: stewie.securedserverspace.com

  5. Port: 995

  6. Uncheck, "Leave a copy of retrieved message on server."

  7. Check, "Always use a secure connection (SSL) when retrieving mail."

  8. Check, "Label incoming messages" and label them however you wish

  9. Uncheck "Archive incoming messages." (Optional: if you wish this mail to skip your Gmail Inbox and only be viewable by clicking on the previously defined Gmail Label.)


Click Add Account.

Click Next Step.


  1. Enter your name as you wish it to be displayed.

Enter the verification code.  To find your verification code, go back to your Gmail Inbox (possibly under the “Updates” tab, and see if it was received.  It was sent to your domain email address, so you may click on the Gmail label that you previously defined to find it. It may take 5 minutes to receive this email.

Copy the code, paste it into the verification field and click "Verify".

(Or simply click the verification link in the email and close the verification window.)
