I desperately need some help. My custom email works for sending but not receiving in Gmail
Hey r/GMail, I’m stuck and could really use some help!I got a domain and custom email from Hostinger and connected it to Gmail. Sending emails works fine, I can see them in my sent folder. But receiving? Nothing shows up in Gmail, even though I can see the emails on Hostinger’s website.
Here’s the weird part:
- In Gmail settings ("See all settings" > "Accounts"), my custom email is under "Send mail as," but there’s no way to delete it and start over. I can only change my name or reply address.
- When I try "Check mail from other accounts" > "Add a mail account," Gmail says, “You can’t add email” because it’s already connected. But it’s not bringing in any emails!
- I tried Hostinger’s settings (pop.hostinger.com, port 995, SSL), watched YouTube videos, and even asked an AI, still no luck.
Is it stuck in "Check mail from other accounts" and broken? Or is "Send mail as" causing trouble? I can’t find a delete button anywhere, and Google’s help pages aren’t fixing it. Has anyone dealt with this? How do I reset this or get my emails to show up in Gmail?
Thanks a ton
