As of January 2026, Google announced that they will stop fetching emails from third-party accounts into Gmail accounts using POP. If you have been using that setup to receive and send emails from your domain, please consider the following options:

 

  • Use the mobile Gmail app - it can act as a normal IMAP email app.

  • Forward your email to Gmail - set up a forwarder in cpanel or webmail to forward your email to your Gmail address. Note you will NOT be able to reply or send new messages as your Hosting Nation address. 

  • Use our webmail or a Desktop email program such as Apple Mail, Thunderbird, or Outlook. 

  • Sign up for Google Workspace to continue using Gmail - this moves your email address to Gmail.
