Steps
Log in to your Hostinger hPanel, open Emails and select the mailbox you want to add. Reset the password there if you do not know it.
Open the Gmail app on your phone, tap your profile picture in the top right and choose Add another account.
Pick Other, type your full Hostinger email address and tap Next.
Choose Personal (IMAP) as the account type and tap Next.
Enter imap.hostinger.com as the incoming server, set the port to 993 and the security to SSL/TLS. Use the full email address as the username and your mailbox password.
Enter smtp.hostinger.com as the outgoing server. Set the port to 465 with SSL/TLS, or 587 with STARTTLS, and reuse the same username and password.
Tap Next, then allow the permissions Gmail asks for, give the account a name and finish the setup.
On a computer, open Gmail, click the gear icon, choose See all settings, then Accounts and Import. Use Send mail as to add the Hostinger address so replies come from your own domain.
Tips and common mistakes
Always use the whole email address as the username, not just the part before the @ sign.
If the setup fails, check the port and security type first: 993 with SSL/TLS for incoming and 465 with SSL/TLS for outgoing.
Gmail's web settings only fetch mail over POP3, so use the Gmail app or a mail client for full IMAP sync.
Turn on two-step verification in Gmail so a lost phone does not lock you out of both mailboxes.
Questions
What are the Hostinger IMAP and SMTP settings?
Use imap.hostinger.com on port 993 with SSL/TLS for incoming mail and smtp.hostinger.com on port 465 with SSL/TLS, or 587 with STARTTLS, for outgoing. The username is your full email address and the password is your mailbox password.
Why does Gmail say my username or password is wrong?
Most often the username is missing the domain or the mailbox password was changed in hPanel. Retype both, and confirm the email account is still active in Hostinger.
Can I add Hostinger email in Gmail on a computer?
Yes, but Gmail's web settings only let you fetch mail over POP3 and send as the address. For full IMAP sync with folders, set it up in the Gmail app or another mail client.
