GoDaddy Email Not Showing Up in Gmail? What Changed and How to Fix It

If Gmail has stopped fetching your GoDaddy mail, or refuses to add the account when you try to set it up, the cause is almost certainly Google rather than GoDaddy. Google is removing "Check mail from other accounts", the Gmail setting that logged into your GoDaddy mailbox over POP3 and pulled mail across. GoDaddy's own Professional Email help pages now carry the warning: "Starting April 2026, Gmail no longer supports Gmailify and POP settings. Existing users can use these features until January 2027."¹

Those dates line up with Google's, which is more than most hosts have managed: new setups stopped being supported after the first quarter of 2026, existing ones officially run until January 2027, and mail already fetched into Gmail stays put.² Treat the 2027 date as a ceiling rather than a promise, though; Google's own banners warned of early January 2026 and people have reported connections stopping at various points since. The full timeline is here if you want it.

First: which GoDaddy email have you got?

GoDaddy has sold three different email products over the years, and both the settings and the sensible fix depend on which one your address is on. Sign in to GoDaddy and open the Email & Office Dashboard (My Products, then Email & Office); it shows the product name next to each address.³

If it says Workspace Email, you're on the old platform, and you're on borrowed time regardless of what Gmail does. GoDaddy stopped selling Workspace Email around 2022, has been moving its mailboxes to Microsoft 365 automatically ("you'll automatically receive the email pack that matches your email account usage", as its help page puts it),⁴ and deleted the entire Workspace section of its help site in early 2026. While your mailbox still works, its incoming settings are the ones GoDaddy's now-removed settings page listed:⁵

• Server: pop.secureserver.net
• Port: 995
• Security: SSL/TLS
• Username: your full email address
• Password: your mailbox password

If it says Professional Email, your mailbox runs on Titan, GoDaddy's email partner. GoDaddy only documents IMAP for it (imap.secureserver.net, port 993, SSL),⁶ not POP3, and POP3 is the protocol Gmail's fetcher and services like it need. The Titan platform itself does support POP,⁷ and settings aggregators list pop.secureserver.net on port 995 for GoDaddy accounts, but that host isn't in GoDaddy's own docs, so test it before relying on it.

If it says Microsoft 365, this post mostly isn't your problem, and POP3 isn't your answer. GoDaddy's own settings page now says Microsoft 365 "no longer supports POP and IMAP settings in Outlook, Apple Mail, Gmail and most email clients".⁸ Your mail lives in Exchange; set up forwarding to Gmail from Outlook settings, or just use Outlook.

Keeping GoDaddy mail in Gmail

For Workspace and Professional Email mailboxes, the options are the usual ones, with the usual trade-offs.

Forwarding is free and quick: Professional Email has forwarding built in,⁹ and Workspace webmail has had it for years. It only covers new mail, not what's already sitting in the mailbox, and forwarded messages sometimes land in Gmail's spam folder because they arrive from GoDaddy's servers rather than the original sender. If the address mostly just receives the odd message, try forwarding first.

The Gmail mobile app can read the mailbox over IMAP using the settings above. That keeps the mail on your phone but never puts it in the Gmail web inbox.

A desktop client like Thunderbird will pull an old mailbox across in one go, over POP3 or IMAP. Manual, one-off, no ongoing sync.

And the closest replacement for what "Check mail from other accounts" did is to have something log into the mailbox on a schedule and import the mail into Gmail for you, which is what I built PopRelay to do. You give it the POP3 settings, pick how often it should check, and it pulls anything new and adds it to your Gmail using the Gmail API. No forwarding relay, so no spam-filter or SPF headaches; it only ever asks Google for permission to add messages and labels, so it can't read or delete the mail already in your account; and your GoDaddy password is encrypted before it's stored. It's from the same people behind 33mail.com, running since 2011. Being POP3-based, it fits a Workspace mailbox directly; for Professional Email, run the POP test above first; and for Microsoft 365 it isn't the right tool, use Outlook's forwarding instead.

If that's the shape of fix you're after, you can set it up in a few minutes. One last GoDaddy-specific note: if your Workspace mailbox gets its turn in the Microsoft 365 move, the POP3 settings above stop working at that point, and no fetcher can follow it there (Microsoft dropped that kind of sign-in),⁸ so forwarding from the new mailbox becomes the way to keep Gmail in the loop.
