I wish to use Gmail
to handle all of my email needs. Sending, reading, deleting, moving, forwarding etc.. I have a domain with an email at Zoho
user@mydomain.com
, this is working well.
I've always been confused with POP3
and IMAP
regarding which server/client does what. Reading What's the difference between POP3 and IMAP for e-mail? hasen't really made me any smarter.
Here is a flow of the email from user@mydomain.com
which I would like:
Incoming email(to: user@mydomain.com) -> Zoho inbox(user@mydomain.com) -> Gmail account(user@gmail.com) -> Android client/Web browser
I also would like to send:
Android client/Web browser -> Gmail account(user@gmail.com) -> Zoho account(user@mydomain.com) -> Send email(from: user@mydomain.com)
I would also like to setup so that via Gmail I can send emails via user@mydomain.com
.
You can say that Gmail
is central. How would I set this up? I am guessing it is better to use IMAP
as POP3
is old. I would also like to keep copies on Zoho
that are not affected by Gmail, so if I delete a message on Gmail that went to user@mydomain.com
it would not delete on Zoho
(use Zoho
as a backup).
What should be the IMAP
/POP3
server in this case?
Zoho
POP
Configuration details:
- Incoming server: pop.zoho.com, Port: 995, SSL
- Outgoing server: smtp.zoho.com, Port: 465, SSL
IMAP
Configuration details:
- Incoming server: imap.zoho.com, Port: 993, SSL
- Outgoing server: smtp.zoho.com, Port: 465, SSL
Gmail
Incoming Mail (IMAP
) Server - Requires SSL
- imap.gmail.com Port: 993 Requires SSL:Yes
Outgoing Mail (SMTP
) Server - Requires TLS
- smtp.gmail.com Port: 465 or 587 Requires SSL: Yes Requires authentication: Yes Use same settings as incoming mail server
Incoming vs. Outgoing on Zoho
- Incoming: Does this mean when Gmail pushes from it's outgoing server to Zohos incoming server?
- Outgoing: Zoho to push from its outgoing server to Gmails incoming server?
Incoming vs. Outgoing on Gmail
- Incoming: Does this mean from my Android client/web browser to push to Gmails incoming server?
- Outgoing: Gmail outgoing server to push to Zohos incoming server?
