Tips for emailing

Everyone who uses hosting also has direct access to their own mailbox.For your business website, the ability to send and receive mail is very important.
You need to have access to your mail at all times to be able to help your customers as quickly as possible.In this blog post we will go through how you can best set up your mail for your business.

create mail addresses

Before you start setting up your own mail program you first need to create a mail address.You can do this in our control panel, if you are logged in here you can click on mail.
Then you can go to accounts and you will see a button called "Add" click here.Fill in the desired mail address and click save.
Of course you should think about your own e-mail address and also for customers this is very important.Almost always you can use the mail address info@JeDomeinNaam.nl.

POP, IMAP or webmail

After you have created a mail account you want to use it of course.You can use a local program such as Microsoft Outlook but you can also use the webmail.
If you use the webmail you do not have to set anything up and you can immediately get started.Wherever you have access to the Internet you can continue to log on to the webmail.
Most users, however, will prefer to use a program such as Outlook.If you are going to use this then you have 2 options for your incoming mail.
You have POP (Post Office Protocol) and you have IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol).It is important to know the difference between these to make a choice of which one suits you best.
When using POP mail, mail messages are retrieved from the mail server and stored locally.The mail messages are then further removed from the mail server.
When using IMAP, your messages are read directly from the server and loaded onto your mail program.If you want to use multiple devices for your mail then you should use IMAP.
When you strictly want to use 1 device for your e-mail then it's best to use POP.

DKIM

It's possible that when you use your e-mail it ends up in the spam box of the receiving party.This is obviously very annoying for you and especially if you use a business mail address.
Luckily this is easily solved by activating DKIM in your control panel.In your control panel click on mail again and then on domains.
Select the domain for which you want to activate DKIM and scroll down.At the bottom you will see a checkmark with "Enable DKIM" click on it.
Next click on save and go to your DNS records.Here you will see the DKIM record, however it can take up to 24 hours for this to become fully active.On the next page you will find instructions with screenshots of how to activate it: Activating DKIM

DMARC

DMARC stands for Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting And Conformance and it is a DNS record.With this record you indicate that you are using DKIM with your outgoing mail.
Besides that, DMARC also gives important indications in case your mail does not pass the DKIM test.It is actually an extra check on top of DKIM to make sure your mails are sent safely.
If you want to activate DMARC you can do so in the following way: Setting DMARC records.
