How Do I Setup Mailbox In Gmail?

Using Your PhotoBiz Mailbox with Gmail

If you have a PhotoBiz Mailbox email address but prefer using Gmail to manage your email, this guide will show you how to:

Receive PhotoBiz emails in Gmail using forwarding
Send emails from Gmail using your PhotoBiz email address

In this example, we’ll use support@photobizlovesme.com. Be sure to substitute your own PhotoBiz email address and password when following the steps.

IMPORTANT: Gmail Changes (January 2026)

Google discontinued support for:

Gmailify
Checking third-party email accounts using POP3

Because of this change, Gmail can no longer pull email directly from your PhotoBiz Mailbox.

What still works:

Forwarding email from PhotoBiz → Gmail
Sending mail from Gmail using your PhotoBiz address (SMTP)

This guide reflects the current supported setup.

Please Note: Google/Gmail discontinued support of Gmailfy and checking 3rd party mail using POP3 in January 2026. Google allows you to forward email from one mailbox to your Gmail or use the Gmail app for mobile to continue to check 3rd party mailboxes.

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.
