How to Read Your Domain’s Email on Android Using a Home Screen Widget (Gmail App)

If you’ve already added your domain’s email (e.g. [email protected]) to the Gmail app on your Android phone, you can make accessing your inbox even easier by adding a Gmail widget to your home screen.

This lets you view, read, and check emails directly from your home screen—no need to open the Gmail app every time!

Make sure your domain’s email is already configured in the Gmail app via IMAP. If not, follow our setup guide here.

Hold your finger on an empty space until options appear like:
Wallpaper, Widgets, Home settings

Look for “Gmail” or “Gmail Label” in the widget list.

Drag it to your home screen. You may be prompted to select the email account and label/folder you want to display.

Choose your email account (e.g. [email protected]) and tap Inbox as the folder to display.

Your Gmail widget will now appear on your home screen.

You can now:

• See new messages directly on your home screen

• Tap on the widget to open and read emails instantly

• Emails will auto-sync in the background

 You can add multiple widgets for different labels (e.g., Inbox, Sent, Support) or different accounts.
