SMTP Host – (This is what worked for me, you ca also try ) Here are the settings for this plugin –įrom Name – Site Name or Anything else you want Now all my WordPress and Woocommerce emails were going to Inbox.
#Hostgator email settings to point email to hostgator free#
I installed this free plugin on my WordPress site and it solved the Gmail spam problem instantly. So, I just raised a support ticket while I kept looking for a solution myself.Īnd after trying a long list of claimed ‘solutions’ what worked for me was a sweet little WordPress plugin – Easy WP SMTP. As I have a free account on Clouflare I don’t have access to any premium support. They told me that something might be wrong on Cloudflare’s part (DKIM settings or something). I talked to Hostgator support and as usual they said all the settings were fine on their side and there was nothing they could do. So, definitely it was not the case of Hostgator server being used for spamming or my domain marked for spamming/phishing. Also, the emails sent directly from were not going to Spam. strangely the emails were going to inbox in other services like Outlook.

The main problem for me was that the Woocommerce order notifications were also going to Spam in my Gmail as well as customer’s Gmail. I also have Woocommerce installed on my site and use Cloudflare free CDN on that domain as well. Everything was going fine until recently I noticed that all the emails from WordPress site, where the primary email for everything is, were going to the Spam folder in Gmail. One of my WordPress sites is hosted on Hostgator (shared hosting) and the emails are set to fetch to Google via POP3.
