In Gmail tap the profile picture → Add another account → Other, enter the full address and select Personal (IMAP). Use the exact secure settings shown by cPanel; do not guess the server name.
Steps
- Open cPanel → Email Accounts → Connect Devices and copy username, incoming server, outgoing server and ports.
- Use the full email address as username, the mailbox password, IMAP with SSL/TLS on port 993, and authenticated SMTP with SSL/TLS 465 or STARTTLS 587 exactly as cPanel shows.
- Save, then send a message to an external address and reply to it.
- If validation fails, retype the password and hostname and never accept an invalid certificate.
Verify the result
Both sending and receiving must work without a certificate warning.
Important: Never email a mailbox password or disable TLS to make setup succeed.
