Suppose you have just migrated from another Host (Siteground, Bluehost, GoDaddy, etc...) and you have been using Gmail to manage your email account with them.
Now your email is being hosted by BigScoots but you still want Gmail handling your emails. How do you modify your Gmail to have it work seamlessly with the BigScoots email client?

The following article with guide you with step-by-step instructions to do just that!

Note: This guide is for free Gmail users! If you are using Google Workspace (G Suite), then disregard this! Google Workspace has its own internal email service, you do not need to connect it to WPO. If you need help configuring Google Workspace, please submit a ticket and we'll assist with the DNS changes.
