Reply from your CCorp email using Gmail

CCorp Free is two-way on your existing inbox: inbound info@yourbusiness.com forwards into the Gmail / Outlook / Yahoo you already use, and outbound goes through our SMTP relay with full DKIM signing on your domain. This guide wires the outbound side up in Gmail using its “Send mail as” feature so recipients see info@yourbusiness.com on every reply — never gmail.com.

Before you start
  • Your CCorp setup dashboard shows all 7 records green.
  • You’ve received the welcome email with your SMTP relay password from noreply@ccorp.com.
  • You’re signed in to the Gmail account that receives your forwarded mail.

1. Open Gmail’s account settings

  1. In Gmail, click the ⚙️ gear in the top-right → See all settings.
  2. Open the Accounts and Import tab.
  3. Find the row Send mail as and click Add another email address.

2. Enter your CCorp address

  1. Name: how you want it to appear (e.g. “The Coffee Haus”).
  2. Email address: info@yourbusiness.com
  3. Leave Treat as an alias checked. Click Next Step.

3. SMTP relay settings

Use these exact values:

SMTP Server: smtp.ccorp.com
Port: 587
Username: info@yourbusiness.com
Password: the SMTP relay password we emailed you
Secured connection: TLS (STARTTLS) — Gmail’s default radio

Click Add Account. Gmail will test the connection. If it fails, double-check the password is the SMTP relay password (not your personal Gmail password and not the verify TXT token).

4. Confirm via the confirmation email

Gmail sends a confirmation code to info@yourbusiness.com. Because that address is forwarded right back to your Gmail, it arrives in this same inbox within a few seconds. Open it, click the confirmation link, and you’re live.

5. (Recommended) Reply from the address it was sent to

  1. Back in Accounts and Import, scroll to When replying to a message.
  2. Select Reply from the same address the message was sent to.

This way, when someone emails info@yourbusiness.com, your reply automatically goes out from that same address. You never have to remember to switch.

Done.

Compose a new message in Gmail. Click the From dropdown — you’ll see both your personal Gmail and your new CCorp address. Pick the CCorp one. Recipients see only the CCorp address; they have no idea Gmail is involved.

Outlook or Yahoo instead?

The same SMTP relay settings work in Outlook (“Manage accounts → Add account → Other email”) and Yahoo (“Settings → More Settings → Mailboxes → Add Mailbox”). Same server, same port, same password.
