How can I connect my WPX Email Account with Gmail?

This article will explain how to connect your WPX Email account with Gmail (Gmailbox). This will allow you to see emails sent to your WPX email from your Gmail inbox.

If you want to learn how to set up Google Workspace (formerly known as G-Suite/Google Apps), you can find out how in this article. 

The information used in this tutorial (such as email addresses, server names, and usernames) is for example purposes only. Please make sure to use your own WPX email credentials and server details when following the steps.

Step 1. Log in to your WPX account

Begin by logging into your WPX account. You can do this by visiting the WPX login page.​

Step 2. Go to Control Panel

Once logged in:

1. Locate your hosting plan in the WPX client area.
2. Click the Control Panel button next to the plan you wish to manage.

If you have more than five hosting plans of the same type (WordPress or WooCommerce), not all may appear on the homepage. Use the WordPress Hosting or WooCommerce Hosting tab in the left-hand menu to find your service.

Step 3. Add Forward to Gmail

Within the Control Panel:

1. Select the Emails section.
2. Click on Settings next to the email address.

Within the Settings:

1. Select the Email Box Settings tab.
2. Then fill in your Gmail email under Forward e-mail to
3. Click Submit to save the changes.

Some mailboxes use a different email username from the email address depending on the server that you are hosted on. If the email username is different from your email address, you need to use that username to connect your email address with any mail client.

The Mail Server settings can be previewed in the Mail Server Settings tab. You will need the SMTP server, your email username, and password.

Step 4. Configure your Gmail

Log in to your Google Account.

1. You can find the Gmail settings on the right-hand side menu
2. Select the See all settings menu to open all available settings.

 Click on the Accounts and Import tab.

Click on Add another email address.

Then a new window will open.

In the Name field, add the name you want to associate with the email address you’re connecting to Gmail. In the Email address field, add the email address you want to connect to.

Keep the Treat as an alias box checked, then click on the Next Step button. Now you must configure your Gmail settings to use our server’s SMTP.

• In our example, the server hostname is s28.wpx.net.
• Fill in your email username and password (of the WPX email).
• Select Secured connection using SSL (recommended)
• SMTP Port 465;
• After you fill out the form and click Add Account, Google will email you to verify the account you have added.

The Incoming/Outgoing servers are always the same. These are typically the same and correspond to your WPX server’s hostname.
You can find it by navigating to:
Control Panel → Emails → Settings → Email Server Info

Step 5. Verify your account

In the email you received, you will find 2 options to verify the account:

1. Enter the verification code in the window and click Verify.
2. Click the confirmation link in the email you received from Google.

Once you’re done, the configuration window will close, and you will return to Accounts and Import. There, you will see a new option When replying to a message;

Check the option: Reply from the same address the message was sent to …and you are done!
