If you are using email for your business, it is in your interest to have good quality email hosting with access to support.
Office 365, Rackspace Email and Google Workspace (formerly Google G Suite or Google Apps) are hosted mail services that let you operate email at your own domain name. You pay the providers directly for these services – $5/user per month for Google, $7/user per month for Office 365, $2/user per month (with a minimum of 5 users) for Rackspace.
Google Workspace is just like using Gmail, except instead of using an @gmail.com address, you get email addresses like joe@mydomain.com. Office 365 is similar to Gmail, and with higher level subscriptions you also get use of Microsoft’s desktop apps.

With Google Mail you can access your email from any web browser, including Safari on your iPhone or iPad.
There are several different links you can use to access your email:
| mail.yourdomain.com | Login with just your username |
| mail.google.com | Login with your full username@yourdomain.com |
Note: some clients may have been set up to use webmail.yourdomain.com instead of mail.yourdomain.com.
We recommend using IMAP (instead of POP).
If you enter the incorrect password multiple times, you will need to unlock your account using a Captcha. You can do this at this link: Unlock Captcha
Log into your Google Mail webmail, then follow these instructions:
Google Mail: Changing Your Password
Follow Google’s instructions:

To access Mail, Calendar and Docs services, use the following links (changing “yourdomain.com” to your own domain name) from any web browsers;
Notice there is no “www” in the URLs to access these services – if you add www, you won’t be able to access them.

Using your Google Workplace Control Panel lets you add, manage and delete accounts.
A user account has its own mailbox and has an email address (like you@yourdomain.com). If you signed up for your Google account prior to December 6 2012, Google supported free Google accounts for up to 10 users (older Google users may have 50 or 100).

If your name is Geoffrey but people also call you Geoff, you might setup your email address as geoffrey@yourdomain.com and then update the user to add a nickname for geoff. Emails sent to geoffrey@yourdomain.com or geoff@yourdomain.com will both come through to the same mailbox. Nicknames create new email addresses but don’t count towards your account limit.

You can create a mail group with its own email address. Sending an email to the group address means the email gets delivered to all members of the group. You might set up an email group for info@yourdomain.com and place several email addresses into that group. Any email sent to info@yourdomain.com gets sent to everyone on the list.
You can set permissions on who can send email to the mailing list. If you want to receive email from your website contact form, you’ll need to set permissions to Public.
A Group doesn’t have a mailbox, it is a list of usernames. So a Group creates a new email address, but doesn’t count towards your account limit.
Email forwarding is set up for an account, and forwards email received at that address to another email address. To set this up, log in to the webmail for the account, and use the Mail Settings link (under the gears icon at the top right of mail box). Use Mail Settings, Forwarding and POP/IMAP to set up the forwarding. There are two steps to complete:
If you are an account administrator for your Google Workplace account, you can add, change and delete user accounts.

What to do if you get dodgy looking emails: Handling Suspicious Emails
Both Rackspace Email and Google Workspace will automatically scan incoming emails and filter out spam.
If you only read your email via a mail reader such as Outlook or Apple Mail that downloads mail from your mail server, you won’t see the emails filtered as spam.
So you must check periodically to make sure there aren’t important emails being filtered by Google as spam.
To do this, login to your email account using the Webmail procedure (above).
In Google Workspace, to the left of your mailbox are a set of labels that give you access to your Inbox, Sent Mail and so on. If you cannot see the Spam label, click the More button below the labels, which will reveal the Spam label. Drag and drop the Spam label up in between Inbox and Sent Mail. The Spam label will now be permanently shown.
Click on the Spam label, and review the emails that have been filtered as spam by Google, and if you find any legitimate emails in there, click the Not Spam button to move the email from spam to your inbox. Google will learn from your tagging.
Important: you must check the Spam label, and also the Junk Email label if it exists.
