This guide explains how to connect your TK WebHosts email address (for example, info@yourdomain.com) to your personal Gmail account. This allows you to send and receive domain emails directly from Gmail, using Gmail’s interface while keeping your professional email identity.

What You’ll Need Before You Start                                        

• An active email account created in TK WebHosts
• Your email address and password (e.g. info@yourdomain.com)
• Access to your Gmail account
• (Optional but recommended) Correct MX, SPF, and DNS records already configured for TK WebHosts

If your domain email is not yet working, make sure it is properly connected to TK WebHosts first.
