To set up Hostinger Email on the web version of Gmail, make sure that:
You have created an email account with Hostinger Email
Your domain is pointed to Hostinger
The correct Hostinger Email MX records are added to your domain's DNS zone
Then, proceed with the steps below 👇
Step 1 – Gather the Hostinger Email account details
Gather the configuration details of your email account:
POP3 (incoming) | SMTP (outgoing) |
Host: pop.hostinger.com Encryption: SSL Port number: 995 | Host: smtp.hostinger.com Encryption: SSL Port number: 465 |
If you forgot your email password, you can easily reset it.
Step 2 – Set up Hostinger Email on Gmail
To add a Hostinger Email account to your Gmail, follow the steps in the Link your address to Gmail section of this article: Get Gmail features for your other email accounts, but make sure to select the POP3 option instead of Gmailify.
With POP3, your emails will be only stored in Gmail and deleted from the Hostinger webmail or other email clients you might have set up. To avoid this, checkmark the option Leave a copy of retrieved message on the server 💡
The window with the incoming email (POP3) details entered will look like this:

The parameters for outgoing email (SMTP) will look this way:
Finally, once you click on Add Account, your Hostinger Email account will appear in Gmail.
If the Gmail account you wish to connect to Hostinger Email is a Google Workspace account, you'll need admin access to Google Workspace to enable the option to send emails. Follow this guide: Allow per-user outbound gateways 💡
Troubleshooting
Most errors are related to entering incorrect parameters into Gmail. In those cases, it is highly recommended that you reset your password and re-enter the parameters again, ensuring that the POP3 and SMTP settings match those from the table above.
