Enabling SMTP in cPanel is a quick and easy process.

To start, I’m on the cPanel page. Scroll down and find the Email section. Click Email Accounts. You’ll see I have an email account already created that I want to forward. I’ll click Connect Devices next to the email I want to enable SMTP.

Next, under the Mail Client Manual Settings we will be using this information found here. I recommend copying and pasting this into a notepad. I’ll copy it. I’ll open up notepad. I’ll paste it.

Next, You can click the cPanel logo here or I’ll click the back button twice to go back to the cPanel page. Go to the Emails section. Click Forwarders. Next, click the add forwarder button. Where you see the address to forward field, type in the beginning of the email. For mine, I’ll type in info. Where you see Domain from the dropdown you can select the domain.

Next, where you see Destination. Where it says forward to email address put in the email address you want to forward the email too. I’ll paste the email in.

Click the add forwarder button. You’ll see the notification showing here that all your email will be forwarded to the email address you provided.

Where you see the send mail as with your email address click the add another email address. Where you see it says email address you want to put in your website email address here. I’ll paste mine in. Click the next step button.

You’ll see the SMTP Server field. I’ll pull up notepad. You want to copy the outgoing server. I’ll paste it in to the SMTP Server field. You’ll see Port next to it. Go to your notepad and on the outgoing server what we just copied it’ll have the port listed you want to choose. It’s 465. From the dropdown under Port I’ll choose 465.

Next, pull up the notepad and copy your username and paste it in where it says username. Next, input your email addresses password here. Next, click the Add Account button.

Lastly, you want to verify your email. Google will send you a confirmation link or code to confirm.
