How to update Gmail settings for the new mail servers


This guide explains how to update your Gmail settings following the recent change of email servers. As part of our ongoing service improvements, we have recently migrated to new mail servers to ensure a smoother and more reliable email experience. 

Updating the settings is a simple task—you only need to change two values: the incoming and outgoing mail servers. Replace the old servers (mail1.webnode.com, mail2.webnode.com, or mail3.webnode.com) with the new ones: imap.mail.webnode.com (incoming) and smtp.mail.webnode.com (outgoing). All other email client settings remain the same

TIP: You can find guides for updating other email clients in our Help center: How to update email client settings for the new mail servers. The values described in that guide are also valid for most other email clients.
