# WordPress Admin Email

 * Hello,
 * I am planning to build a WordPress site in which I will setup WooCommerce to 
   sell products. I have created a test site before in which I used my personal 
   email account (gmail) as admin email. Then I tested selling from the site. The
   problem I faced is that the order confirmation emails were going to spam folder
   of test client email. And the reason of marking as spam is that The message may
   not have been sent by [____@gmail.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-admin-email/____@gmail.com?output_format=md).
 * How can I prevent the problem in my actual site? Should I start off with an email
   address such as [____@myactualsite.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-admin-email/____@myactualsite.com?output_format=md)?
   Or can I start with my personal email address as the admin email and then later
   change the admin email? Or can I just use my personal email as admin email and
   in the WooCommerce email setting I should enter [sales@myactualsite.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-admin-email/sales@myactualsite.com?output_format=md).
 * To those who have already built and running WooCommerce sites, What is the best
   possible option regarding using emails?
 * Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
 * Thanks.

 * **Hi nilimagloria**
    Are you using Google SMTP to send mail or native PHPMailer/
   Mail. My advise would be to use Google SMTP if you really want to send mail using
   Gmail.

 * Hi Navneil Naicker,
 * Thank you for your response.
 * I would like to send mails from native mail that is used in WordPress and the
   woocommerce emails such as order confirmations should go from [sales@myactualsite.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-admin-email/sales@myactualsite.com?output_format=md).
 * What should I do in such case?
 * Thanks again.
