New & Improved Email Management!
JimdoPro users have one email account and three email aliases (forwarding addresses) included in their package; JimdoBusiness users get five accounts and unlimited aliases. To make it easier for you to manage all these email accounts and aliases, we've completely revamped the email management and made it much simpler!
Once you're logged into your Jimdo site, click on Settings, then take a look at the the Domain and Email Administration section. Here you're able to view which email accounts you've already set up as well as add, edit, and delete accounts.
A particularly useful new feature: you can create and manage mailing lists right here. For example, you can set up a general contact address like info@yourdomain.com that forwards to several people. Pretty cool, right? Read on to learn the details of how it all works!
1) How to manage your email accounts
How to edit, create, and delete email accounts
In Settings, specifically in the Email Accounts view, you can modify existing email accounts, delete them, and create new accounts. In the example, there are two existing email accounts and at the bottom a new account is being created.
On the left side of the window you'll see the account. On the right, you can delete the account or change the password. To create a new email account, just click on "Add a New Account". As in the screenshot, a form drops open. Fill out the name of the email address, choose the domain (if you have more than one domain associated with the account), and create a password. When you're finished, click on "set up". That's it! You can also log into your new email account directly through your Jimdo site's management interface, so you can get started emailing right away!
2) Email Aliases
How to create, edit, or delete email aliases/lists
This is how it works! In Settings, go to Email Forwarding to edit your email lists. In this example, there are already two email lists. You can simply change these or delete lists whenever you need to.
At the bottom of the screenshot, see how a new forwarding list is being created. Fill in the name of the forwarding list in Alias. You can choose anything, like
redteam@yourdomain.com, but in this sample we chose buddies@yourdomain.com. Below the alias name, you can enter the email addresses to which you'd like us to forward the messages.
Click save when you're finished, and you're all done!
It's that easy.
So even though this blog post is rather long, we hope you'll see that the new email management is really easy to use. Just give it a try, create a new email accounts and email aliases. You'll see
how simple we've made it for you!
Cheers,
The Jimdo team
