Testing Your Email Integration
To be sure that your Namecheap email is syncing well with Gmail, here’s a quick guide to testing and fixing any issues.
Is Gmail Receiving Your Namecheap Emails?
Try Sending Yourself an Email: Send an email from another account to your Namecheap email.
Check if it lands in your Gmail inbox.
If it doesn’t appear, check your settings to see if emails are being pulled down properly.
Check Gmail Fetching: If you have your Namecheap email setup on POP3, be aware that emails will take some time to synchronize into Gmail.
Gmail fetches emails on a schedule, so make sure the intervals are set up to your preference.
Testing Outgoing Emails
Verify “Send As” Settings: And send an email, like, from Gmail, and have it be sent from your Namecheap email.
Ask the other person if they are seeing it come from my Namecheap address.
Look Out for Delivery Problems: If the email that you’ve sent as a test does not arrive, look for error messages or bounced emails that might suggest issues in delivery.
Fixing Common Problems
Emails Aren’t Syncing: Double-check that your server settings are correct in Gmail.
Make sure that the server information for incoming (IMAP/POP3) and outgoing (SMTP) are correct, including the ports and security (SSL, TLS, etc).
Switching to IMAP may help keep everything in sync across devices.
Login Issues: If you’re getting repeated prompts for your username and password, confirm you’re using the correct login details—remember, the username should be your full email address.
If you’ve changed your password or switched on two-factor authentication, verify those settings.
Mailbox Full? Make sure your Namecheap mailbox has enough space.
An inbox full can prevent new emails from arriving.
Internet Connection Check: Verify your internet is working by visiting other sites.
A spotty connection can cause issues fetching emails.
Review Gmail Settings: In Gmail, go to “Accounts and Import” and ensure that settings, filters or forwarding rules are not preventing your email from coming through.
