If you're using Gmail as your primary email platform and want to set up Posta Elettronica Certificata (PEC), you're in the right place. In this guide, we will walk you through the simple steps to successfully configure PEC on Gmail. Let's get started!

What is PEC?

PEC, or Posta Elettronica Certificata, is a certified email service widely used in Italy. It provides legal validity and proof of delivery for sensitive documents and communications. PEC is crucial for conducting official business in Italy, especially with government institutions, public offices, and companies.

Why should you use PEC with Gmail?

While Gmail is a popular and feature-rich email service, it doesn't support PEC out of the box. By setting up PEC on Gmail, you can combine the convenience and powerful features of Gmail with the legal and certified delivery of PEC emails.

Step 1: Choose a PEC Provider

To get started, you need to select a PEC provider. They are companies authorized by the Italian governmental agency AGID to offer PEC services. Here are a few popular PEC providers in Italy:

  • Aruba PEC
  • Register.it PEC
  • Postecert PEC

Choose a provider based on your needs and preferences. They typically offer different packages, so make sure to consider factors like storage space, encryption, and customer support.

Step 2: Sign Up for PEC

Once you have chosen a PEC provider, visit their website and sign up for a PEC account. Provide the necessary information and complete the registration process.

Step 3: Verify your Identity

After signing up, you will need to verify your identity to activate your PEC account. The process may vary depending on the provider, but typically involves submitting scanned identification documents.

Step 4: Obtain PEC Configuration Settings

After verifying your identity, you will receive the necessary configuration settings from your PEC provider. These settings include your PEC email address, server details, and encryption settings. Save this information as you'll need it in the next step.

Step 5: Configure Gmail with PEC

Now that you have your PEC configuration settings, follow these steps to set up PEC on Gmail:

  1. Open your Gmail account and go to 'Settings'.
  2. Select the 'Accounts and Import' tab.
  3. Under 'Check mail from other accounts', click on 'Add a mail account'.
  4. Enter your PEC email address and click 'Next'.
  5. Choose 'Import emails from my other account (POP3)' and click 'Next'.
  6. Fill in the POP3 server details provided by your PEC provider and click 'Add Account'.
  7. Configure the necessary options, such as labeling incoming messages or keeping a copy of the messages on the server.
  8. Click on 'Add Account' to complete the configuration.

Step 6: Test and Start Using PEC on Gmail

Once the configuration is complete, send a test PEC email to yourself or someone else with a PEC account. Verify that the email is received and shows the certified delivery status. Congratulations! You have successfully set up PEC on Gmail.

Now you can use Gmail's familiar interface and powerful features for all your PEC communications. Remember, PEC emails carry legal validity, making them essential for official business matters in Italy.
