Email Forwarding
Every domain registered with DomainOrders.com
includes free Email Forwarding with up to 50 free mail forwardings
per domain name.
Below is a sample from the Email
Forwarding page and control panel. The first line specifies that
the email address "info@sampledomain.com" will be forwarded to
"myname@aol.com".
Catch-all Email Feature
In the second line in the above example, the
* sign in the Username field will configure every other email
address with the domain extension "@sampledomain.com" to be forwarded
to "myname@yahoo.com". This is a great feature to ensure that you
will receive all email with your domain extension "@sampledomain.com", even
misspellings. In other words, email addresses like
"infoo@sampledomain.com" and "webmister@sampledomain.com"
will all be forwarded to "myname@yahoo.com".
When you go to enter email addresses on
the email information page, only a few blank lines appear at first. As
you use the available lines and click Modify, then more lines
will automatically appear the next time that you load the page, up to
50 lines for email forwardings, all for free!
How to Send Out Mail using
Multiple Email Addresses from Outlook Express or
Web-based Email
Accounts such as Yahoo.com
Email forwarding is the first step, or the
"front end" component, of email branding and perception. The next step, or
the "back end" solution, is to be able to send out multiple email addresses
using your new domain name extension "@yourdomain.com" from an email
account manager such as Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express. If you don't
have Outlook or Outlook Express, you can use a web-based email manager such
as DailyEmail.com or Yahoo.com to configure "reply" email
addresses.
Microsoft Outlook Express
Configuration
In the steps that follow, we use the sample
email address "info@sampledomain.com". Be sure to use your actual
email address in place of "info@sampledomain.com" in the steps
below.
Click "Tools" on the top menu bar and then
click "Accounts".
Click the "Mail" subfolder tab and then click
and highlight your default email address and account that is configured in
Outlook Express from your ISP or hosting service.
Cick "Properties" on the right-hand menu
bar. Click the "Servers" subfolder tab at the top. Write down the setting
for "Outgoing Mail - SMTP". You will need this information
later in the setup.
Click "Add" in the upper right-hand corner
and select "Mail".
Type in your full new email address
"info@sampledomain.com" as the "Display Name", then click
"Next".
Select the option "I already have an email
address I'd like to use" and type in your email address
"info@sampledomain.com" in the "Email Address" text box. Then, click
"Next".
On the next screen, select "POP3" in the
drop-down list to display "My incoming mail server is a POP3 server." Type
in your full email address in the text box for "Incoming mail (POP3, IMAP
or HTTP) server". The "Outgoing mail (SMTP) server" configuration should
be the same text as shown in your main mail account already
configured with Outlook Express. (See above - the text you
wrote down from the SMTP configuration.) This is usually an address
provided by your ISP or hosting service. For example, if you use
EarthLink, the "Outgoing mail (SMTP) server" would be "smtp.earthlink.net".
Click "Next" to continue.
When you click "Next" to continue, you will
most likely be given the message "The specified POP3 server does not
appear to be a valid server name, do you want to use it anyway?" Click
"Yes" to continue.
The next screen is the Internet Mail Logon
screen. It doesn't really matter what you put in these two text boxes
because you will probably only be sending out from this email address (account)
using Outlook Express. (You will most likely be receiving email sent to
this email address from a forwarding configuration set up above which will
be pointed to your main POP3 account provided by your ISP or hosting service.)
Type in anything in these two text boxes, or leave them as they are, and then
click "Next".
Click "Finish" on the next screen.
You should return to the Internet Accounts
screen with your new email address account "info@sampledomain.com"
partially highlighted. Click on the email address of your new account in
the listing to fully highlight it. Then click "Properties" on the right
menu bar.
Click the "General" subfolder tab at the
top. Fill in the text for "Organization" if desired.
Type in your complete email address
"info@sampledomain.com" in the "Reply Address" text box. Make
sure that your email address is also liste in the "Name" and "E-mail
Address" fields.
Next, deselect (uncheck) the checked box
at the bottom with the text "Include this account when receiving mail
or synchronizing." This makes sure that this account only sends out
email, it does not receive email. (Your incoming email to this
address is already forwarded to another account. If it is forwarded to your
POP3 account then you will already receive it in your Outlook Express
Inbox.)
Click "Apply" and then "OK". Then click
"Close".
Your account is now set up to send out emails
using your email address "info@sampledomain.com".
When you open a new message text box in the
future, there will be a drop-down list in the "From" field since you now have
more than one email address that you can send out with. You can set up
multiple email address aliases using the same procedure described above.
All the accounts will be listed in the "From" drop-down list for you to
choose from. For each message you send, select the desired email address
to use as the "From" or "Reply to" email address from the drop-down
list.
Yahoo and Other Web-Based Email
Configuration
Many web-based email managers allow you to
change the "Reply To" email address enabling you to customize an email
address alias when you send out mail from your account. You can usually
set up only one email alias with each account, but it can function in the
same manner as described above for Outlook Express. Since there are so many
different email managers and different methods of configuring them, we are
not able to provide configuration details for them here. Refer to the
configuration documentation for your email manager for information on how
to set up your email account and email aliases.
