Using Gmail to Check Pool Accounts

You can read and reply to your club’s email accounts from your own Gmail. First you forward your club mail to Gmail, then you set Gmail up to send as your club address.

⚠️ Gmail is ending “Check mail from other accounts” (POP3). It stopped taking new setups in early 2026 and will stop working for everyone in January 2027. If your club still uses it, switch to forwarding with the steps below before then.

Forward your club email to Gmail

  1. In your Member Splash dashboard, go to Communications and click the Aliases tab.

  2. Click Add Alias.

  3. Enter your club email address and set Forward Type to Email.

  4. In Forward to Email Address, enter your Gmail address.

  5. Click Save.

💡 Tip: To keep club mail in one place in Gmail, create a filter. Click Settings, go to Filters and Blocked Addresses, and create a filter for mail sent To your club address. Then choose Apply the label and pick a label like your club’s name.

Send email from your club address in Gmail

  1. In Gmail, click the gear icon, then See all settings.

  2. Open the Accounts and Import tab.

  3. Next to Send mail as, click Add another email address.

  4. Enter your name and your club email address. Leave Treat as an alias checked, then click Next Step.

  5. Enter these settings:

    • SMTP Server: smtp.emailarray.com

    • Port: 465

    • Username: your full club email address

    • Password: your club email password

    • Select Secured connection using SSL

  6. Click Add Account.

  7. Gmail sends a confirmation email to your club address. Because you set up forwarding, it shows up in your Gmail. Click the link in it, or enter the code.

  8. Back on the Accounts and Import tab, under When replying to a message, choose Reply from the same address the message was sent to.
