I'm struggling to set up a Gmail account to “send as and receive as” a different email. Right now, I can “send mail as,” but for no apparent reason, the email refuses to receive anything sent to it.

Details:

  • This is a separate non-Gmail account (it's a cPanel/Dovecot account), and it's not set up via G Suite.
  • I know for a fact that emails are making it to the first email account because I'm logged in via Thunderbird (which was the only way to confirm access anyhow).
  • The server is in the form secureXXX.servconfig.com.
  • I was able to get “Check email from another account” to work, but this is not completely what I want, as it's very delayed (this is what I have as of now).
  • I've also checked the spam and trash folders.
  • Outgoing says: "Secured connection on port 587 using TLS"; Gmail offers no Incoming settings.

Am I forgetting something? Using the wrong ports? etc.

And are there no 'Incoming Server' options for Gmail's 'send as' configuration?

So, this is not the correct answer, but the "Check email from another account" seems to be a workaround for now.

And, to make it similar to the "send mail as" importer, I've chosen to check the first two options:

  • Leave a copy of retrieved message on the server.
  • Always use a secure connection (SSL) when retrieving mail.
