Practical guide

Use an email address that belongs to your business.

A professional address can build trust without forcing you to learn a complicated new way of working.

The visible difference

Move from a personal address to your own name.

Instead of yourbusiness@gmail.com, use an address such as hello@yourbusiness.co.uk while continuing to read mail on your phone or computer.

Mailbox, alias or forwarding?

A mailbox sends, receives and stores email. An alias such as quotes@ can deliver into an existing mailbox. Forwarding only passes incoming mail elsewhere and may not provide a reliable way to send from the business address.

Do the security work too.

Enable two-factor authentication and recovery options. Configure SPF, DKIM and DMARC where supported so other mail systems can better verify messages sent for your domain.

Guided setup checklist

What a short setup session should cover.

  1. 01Create a customer-owned provider account
  2. 02Enable renewal, recovery and two-factor authentication
  3. 03Create the mailbox and useful aliases
  4. 04Verify email security records
  5. 05Connect the phone or preferred mail app
  6. 06Add a signature and test sending and receiving

A brand-new domain and mailbox can often be configured in one short session. Moving old mail, connecting a domain held elsewhere and DNS changes can take longer.
