Common Challenges and How to Fix Them
In attempt to get your Hosting mail account integrated with Gmail, you will likely encounter a few roadblocks.
No bother—these are pretty ubiquitous and there are easy fixes.
Let’s look at some of the most frequent problems and how to fix them.
Issues with Incorrect Settings
Another of the problems that people encounter is that of wrong settings.
Here’s what to check:
Incorrect Server Settings: Just make sure that you’ve chosen the right IMAP/POP3 and SMTP settings.
For Hostinger, the incoming mail server should be:
pop. hostinger.com or imap.hostinger.com
The outgoing server should be: smtp.hostinger.com
Standard ports are 995 for POP3 (SSL), 993 for IMAP (SSL), and 465 or 587 for SMTP.
Email Account Not Set Up Right: Just confirm that your Hostinger account is correctly configured in the Hostinger control panel.
If there were any issues during the setup, it could prevent emails from sending or receiving properly.
Resolving Sync Delays or Errors
Sometimes, your emails might not sync right away.
This may occur due to some of the following reasons, but a few possibilities to mention below:
Propagation Delays: When you recently changed your DNS server or your MX records, changes can take up to 24 hours to propagate across the internet.
It can happen during this period that email receipt is delayed.
You can also rely on a DNS checker to make sure that your MX records are also pointing to mx1.hostinger.com and mx2.hostinger.com.
Email Services Disabled: Occasionally, email services might get accidentally turned off.
Verify that your email services are enabled in your Hostinger control panel.
Turn them off again if they are not right, then just turn them back on and save your changes.
Additional Troubleshooting Steps
Still having trouble?
Here are a couple more things you can try:
Resetting Your Credentials: If you’re having authentication errors, resetting your Hostinger email password might help.
After that, just update your password in Gmail’s settings and try again.
