How to send mail using your email account on HostworX from gmail is really simple, however it needs to be setup correctly so that dmarc/SPF/Domainkey checks work as they should to protect your domain.

Please follow the below steps to ensure it is added correctly:

1. Open up your gmail account in your browser
2. Click on the Settings icon on the right side of the screen (looks like a small gear)
3. Click on the See all settings button
   
   
4. Click on "Add another email address" under the send mail as option
   
   
5. Enter the Name and Email Address for the account and click "Next Step"
   
   
6. If asked enter the POP account settings for your account, make sure the username id the full email address, and enter your password and select "Next Step"
7. Enter the outgoing mail server details, gmail will try to retrieve the correct server name, they might display this as "secure49.hostworx.co.za" or "secure59.hostworx.co.za"
   or it might pick it up as "smtp.yourdomain.co.za". If you want to use encryption you need to use the hostworx server names (there will be either secure49.hostworx.co.za or secure59.hostworx.co.za, you can try these names, if the first one doesn't work then it will be the second one, as it depends on which server your domains was hosted on. (You can also ask the HostworX support to give you the correct server name.
   
   
8. Then enter your username and password, and the secure connection using TLS should be checked.
   
   
9. Click Add Account
10. All things going well you will see the verification screen
