This tutorial describes how to add Microsoft 365 email to Gmail (webmail).
Visit https://www.gmail.com and sign in to your existing gmail account.
note: For this tutorial, we will use setup@webtraining.cloud as our test email account. you will need to change some of the settings to match your configuration.
once you’ve signed in to gmail, in the upper right area of the screen, click the gear icon to open the gmail quick settings menu, then click view all settings .
From the menu at the top of the page, select the accounts tab.
Next, look for the check mail from other accounts option and click add a mail account.
a new window will appear (tip: if you don’t see it, check your popup blocker settings).
In the pop-up window, enter your email address, then click next.
On the next screen, set up your account as shown, using the settings that match your account.
note: gmail only allows pop connections here, and the username is always the full email address.
Once all settings are complete as shown below, click the add account button.
You will now see a notification that your account has been successfully added, with additional options:
If you don’t need to send an email from the account you just added, simply choose the no option and then next to complete the setup. skip to the next step.
if you want to set options for sending email from gmail, choose yes and then click next.
You will then configure your mail delivery options. the name and email address will be pre-populated from your previous settings.
The treat as an alias checkbox is important, depending on how you want to use this email account.
When you reply to emails from this mailbox, you can choose to reply as if you were sending an email from your gmail account (default) or you can reply by displaying the alias email address you just set up (setup@webtraining. cloud) in this example).
If you want to reply using a specific address, you will see that option. clicking the link will open another pop-up box, where you can enter the email address you want to reply from. then click the next step button to continue.
Your options will now display the smtp settings you need to complete in order to send email from this email account, via gmail.
some fields are auto-completed, based on your incoming settings; however, you will need to correct the username and port numbers.
for username, always use the full email address, and the port number is 465 for ssl smtp connections .
Once you’re ready, click the add account button to continue.
google will test the connection, then the last step is to confirm the email address you’ve added by going to that inbox and looking for the google confirmation code.
enter this code, then click verify to complete the setup.
You can now use your Office 365 email address directly from an existing Gmail account. When you compose a new email, you’ll see the option to choose which email address to send from.
