It's always advisable to use your mailbox directly via an IMAP/SMTP connection. However, if you wish, you can connect from a Gmail address.
You'll need an e-mail address hosted by LRob and a password.

Please note, Gmail default setting does not work. The server is OK "mail.votredomaine.tld" can be secured via a Wildcard certificate on LRob hosting, but port 587 in TLS (which is actually STARTTLS) doesn't work in Gmail.
We recommend the use of SSL port 465 (which is actually TLS).
Once this setting has been made, click on "Add an account".
You will then receive a confirmation e-mail on the source address.
If you don't already check your mailbox, go to your webmail. To do so, go to the website by hand: webmail.yourdomain.tld (replace with your own domain name, which is to the right of the @ in your mailbox).
