The Gmail app on Android supports non-Gmail accounts via IMAP. Follow these steps to add your TPC Hosting email address alongside your Gmail inbox.
What you will need
- Your full email address (e.g. you@yourdomain.com)
- Your email password
- Your mail server hostname — find this in cPanel under Email Accounts → Connect Devices. It is typically mail.yourdomain.com.
Add the account
- Open the Gmail app.
- Tap your profile photo or initial in the top-right corner.
- Tap Add another account.
- Tap Other at the bottom of the account type list.
- Enter your full email address and tap Manual setup.
- Select Personal (IMAP).
- Enter your email password and tap Next.
Enter the incoming server settings
- Username: your full email address
- Password: your email password
- IMAP server: mail.yourdomain.com
- Security type: SSL/TLS
- Port: 993
Tap Next.
Enter the outgoing server settings
- SMTP server: mail.yourdomain.com
- Security type: SSL/TLS
- Port: 465
- Require sign-in: enabled
- Username: your full email address
- Password: your email password
Tap Next.
Finish setup
- Choose your preferred sync frequency.
- Enter an account name (e.g. your domain name) and a display name for outgoing messages.
- Tap Next. Setup is complete — your inbox will appear in the Gmail app sidebar.
Troubleshooting
- If port 465 is rejected, try SMTP port 587 with STARTTLS security.
- Confirm the exact server hostname in cPanel: Email Accounts → Connect Devices.
