Steps

In your Gmail Account

Go to Settings-> Accounts and Import.

Scroll down and you can find the Option “Send Email As”, Select “Add Another Email Address”. It Will open the Pop-Up window. If it Doesn’t open the windows, allow Pop-up For Gmail in your browser.

Fill Name and your custom email Account address, The name can be use different from your custom email name. Select “Treat as an alias”, to avoid confusion between your regular Gmail account and custom email. Select “Next Step”.

In Next step, The Window will ask for your custom email account details, The username and password will be your full email address([email protected]) and password. The Confuse part here is SMTP Server and port number. The port number is 587, If you use TLS and 485, If you use SSL, I Recommend use SSL. Because Gmail Also will recommend this, to avoid Warnings in your recipient emails. So, Now Only the problem is SMTP Server, Note your custom email provider, example here I take Zoho, the SMTP Server Will be either “smtp.zoho.com” or “mx.zoho.com”. Replace zoho.com with your email provider address. This method works 95% across all SMTP. If this is not working with you, contact your custom email provider for more details.

Now You can find your account is added in your “Accounts and import” Section in Settings.

Important Note– In Settings->Accounts and import->Send Email As->Scroll down and Select When replying to a message:->Reply from the same address the message was sent to. Or else you will get the email from custom email and your reply will be from your Gmail account, that may collapse everything.

Now Everything is Done in Gmail setup, Move to your custom email account setup.

In your Custom Email Account

Go to Settings-> Forwarding POP/IMAP-> Add your Gmail Account->Verify With Code.

That’s all now you can use your Custom email account in Gmail Account.
