Introduction

If you prefer to manage your 34SP email account through Gmail, you can set this up directly inside Gmail on desktop. Gmail allows you to both receive emails from your 34SP mailbox and send emails using your 34SP address. This means you can use your Gmail inbox as a central hub without needing to log in separately to webmail or Outlook.

These instructions apply if your website is hosted with 34SP.
