Email Configuration Prerequisites
I have created this post to help my clients (who purchased hosting or domain name from Qlick Internet Solution) on How to Configure Personal Domain Email on Gmail Email Client. Just in case you don’t know yet, Domain Name are readable address of your server that host your email and website. So instead typing the numeric address you will just type the domain name of your website. In this case, instead of typing my server address in the address bar:
Numeric Address: http://192.168.0.x
Domain Name: http://www.yourdomain.com
you type http://www.qlickcafe.com/ or www.qlickcafe.com.
Now you understand the term domain name, let me discuss the prerequisites to this guide to setup your Domain Email on Gmail Email Client.
To do this configurations/guides you must have the following available:
- Email Address (youremail@domainname.com)
- Password
- Outgoing Server (smtp)
- Incoming Server (imap/pop)
- Gmail Email Account
I have discussed the configuration details before, you can it check out using the link below: http://www.qlickcafe.com/blogs/qlick-solutions/how-to-configure-email-on-android-phones-or-tablets/

5. Enter your complete email address (e.g. youremail@yourdomain.com), then click the next button.
