How Do I Setup Mailbox In Gmail?

Using Your PhotoBiz Mailbox with Gmail

Overview

If you have a PhotoBiz Mailbox email address but prefer using Gmail to manage your email, you can connect the two services together. This setup allows you to receive your PhotoBiz emails inside Gmail and optionally send outgoing emails from Gmail using your PhotoBiz email address.

Because Google discontinued Gmailify and POP3 support for third-party email accounts in January 2026, Gmail can no longer directly check or import your PhotoBiz Mailbox automatically. The supported setup now uses email forwarding and SMTP sending instead.

In this guide, you will learn how to:

Forward your PhotoBiz Mailbox emails to Gmail
Send emails from Gmail using your PhotoBiz email address
Configure Gmail to reply using the correct email address

In the examples below, we use support@photobizlovesme.com. Replace this with your own PhotoBiz Mailbox email address and password during setup.

Important Gmail Changes (January 2026)

Google discontinued support for:

Gmailify
Checking third-party mail accounts using POP3

Because of these changes, Gmail can no longer pull email directly from your PhotoBiz Mailbox.

The following setup methods are still supported:

Forwarding email from your PhotoBiz Mailbox to Gmail
Sending mail through Gmail using your PhotoBiz email address and SMTP settings

PLEASE NOTE

PhotoBiz is not affiliated with Gmail or Google. Our Passionate Support team is happy to help with the setup process, but if you run into Gmail-specific issues, you’ll want to check out Gmail’s help center, you'll need to use Gmail's help center.

➡️ "When replying to a message"
Select "Reply from the same address the message was sent to" to keep things consistent when replying.

You’re all set!

You can now send and receive emails through Gmail using your PhotoBiz Mailbox email address.

Additional Notes

Your PhotoBiz Mailbox password is different from your PhotoBiz account login password
If your forwarding or sending setup stops working, double-check your mailbox password and SMTP settings
Some Gmail security settings or verification prompts may vary depending on your Google account configuration
