How do I setup a mail account?
Use the request form and let us know what accounts you want.
By Default we will setup accounts to forward emails to you an address of your choosing. We can have info@yourdomain.com sent to yourname@gmail.com.
If you want a mailbox to login read with a your mail client like outlook or thunderbird, let us know and we can setup that account.
What is difference between mail accounts?
We have 2 email account types. A forwarded account and a mailbox account.
A forwarded account is one that people send to account@yourdomain.com and email is forwarded to you personal account. When you reply to email it would then come from your personal account. A big advantage is that you don't have to check another mailbox.
A mailbox account is an account that is hosted on your website. Email can be sent to account@yourdomain.com and it will be saved on the mail server. The advanatage is that this mail is not mixed with yours and you can reply to others and the return address will be account@yourdomain.com. However, you will have to login and check this inbox for email.
What is a mailing list?
A mailing list is a way to send a single message to a list and have it go to a group of people. Other people can reply back to the list and everyone on the list will get the email.
You can manage the people on the list and have some control over who can send to the list, or see message.
