If you prefer using FlockMail on your Gmail hosted with us, we’ll help you set it up right here!
Rather than managing multiple mailing addresses on different platforms, you can use the Gmail interface to send and receive emails using any email account you create with your domain.
By setting up your domain’s email address as a POP3 and SMTP account in your Gmail account, you can use Gmail as an email client (much like you would use Outlook, Mac Mail, or Thunderbird)
