Godaddy Email Settings for Gmail: A Step-by-Step Guide

When it comes to setting up email settings for your Gmail account, GoDaddy can be a bit tricky. In this article, we'll walk you through the process of configuring your Godaddy email settings for Gmail.

Error Resolved: From Address Does Not Match Verified Sender Identity

Before we begin, make sure you're aware that the 'from address' does not match a verified sender identity error message will appear when trying to send an email. This is because GoDaddy requires verification of your sender identity before allowing you to send emails.

Configuring Godaddy Email Settings for Gmail

To configure your Godaddy email settings for Gmail, follow these steps:

1. Single Sender Verification: If you're using Single Sender Verification, make sure to configure the 'from' field in your GoDaddy account settings.

2. SMTP Connection Pooling: Enable SMTP connection pooling by setting `gitlab_rails = true`.

3. Custom CA File: If your SMTP server uses a self-signed certificate or a certificate signed by a CA that's not trusted by default, specify a custom CA file using the `gitlab_rails = '/path/to/your/cacert.pem'` command.

4. SMTP Server Settings: Configure your SMTP server settings by setting the following values:

* `gitlab_rails = 'apikey'`

* `gitlab_rails = 'the_api_key_you_created'`

* `gitlab_rails = 'plain'`

* `gitlab_rails = true`

5. Verify Your Sender Identity: Verify your sender identity by following the instructions provided in your GoDaddy account settings.

6. Configure Your Gmail Account: Log in to your Gmail account and configure your email settings accordingly.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you're experiencing issues with sending emails, here are some common troubleshooting steps:

* Disable All Outgoing Email SMTP Settings: Disable all outgoing email SMTP settings and try sending an email again.

* Emails Not Sending When Using External Sidekiq: Check your Sidekiq logs for any errors and try reconfiguring your SMTP settings.

* Wrong Version Number When Using SSL/TLS: Make sure you're using the correct version number when configuring SSL/TLS.

* Outgoing Connections to Port 25 Blocked on Major Cloud Providers: Check with your cloud provider to see if outgoing connections to port 25 are blocked and adjust your configuration accordingly.

Configuring Godaddy email settings for Gmail can be a bit tricky, but by following these steps, you should be able to resolve any issues and start sending emails without any problems. Remember to verify your sender identity and configure your SMTP server settings correctly to ensure successful email delivery.
