Tutorial: How To Send & Receive Email Using A Custom Namecheap Domain - For Free! (Using GMail)

[@marktwain3083]

If you have 2FA enabled (which you absolutely should), then you will need to create an app password (just choose "custom app" from the options dropdown), instead of allowing access for less secure apps (which with 2FA enabled isn't an option). Then, you will have to enter the newly generated app password as your email password in that step 5:40.

worked as described but I did have to go out completly and start again as described in the video to resolve the authentication error.

[@samthet3939]

Hi. My email was all set (just like the tutorial). But recently, I just built my website on Wix, and in order to connect my domain to Wix, I had to change the NAMESERVER(2nd row above REDIRECT EMAIL) from Namecheap BasicDNS to Custom DNS. Any idea how can get my email to work again? Thanks and I hope I was clear.

[@eponymstudio]

Answer on this please!

[@paco.mireles]

If by any chance when you send the email nothing happen, what helped me was to log off and on the email account and then it worked. Great tutorial!

Thank you so much for this. Very clear. Took me some back and forth, but managed. But... all emails I send from custom namecheap domain via gmail go to people's promotions / spam folders, so they don't see them. If you have quick tip for this would be grateful. Thanks again for the tutorial.

[@conniewilliams6420]

ok, it worked now. I logged off of gmail and back on and was able to send. May have needed some time to replicate also.

[@RealSurfStories]

Great info thank you. I want to consolidate all my hosting, domains and emails under one roof, would you suggest Namecheap?

[@DrRossCarter]

The challenge is the email sent will go to the SPAM or promotional folder. Any way to solve this?

[@farhankadir196]

I went through an extensive search to figure this one out. In order to prevent mail from being sent to spam, you will need to add DKIM, SPF, and DMARC in your DNS records. This sets authentication signatures in the email headers that make it a trusted source and therefore being delivered into the recipient's inbox. The three methods serve different purposes to ensure your mail is delivered correctly, but this really is the best practice in setting up a secure mail for both you and your recipients.

[@ianchua4565]

Hi, please help, before it's working well then why I cant receive email reply anymore if they use my 2nd email. I can send email (using the 2nd) and they can see and reply to it, but I could not receive any reply anymore.

Hi, I don't know if this is helpful to anyone. I did the whole process as mentioned in the video, but I still got an error. That happened because when I did the captcha part, I didn't realize that I had my other google account open, so I was doing the captcha on that account and not the one I should. In summary, if you are still having problems, one solution would be to log out of all your google accounts, and only have the google account you are working with logged in.

This may be a dumb question. But how much storage do I have for emails. Will this be decided by gmail? Or my host provider?

Not a dumb question storage for emails will be dependent on Gmail storage limits for your account
