Use An Email Application For Easier Access & Notifications
One of the tasks that is usually associated with the launch of a company’s website is the creation of business emails under the same domain. In this blog post, we will review the process of configuring business email provided by Baldwin Digital on your PC and mobile devices using the most common email software applications.
You can also use other email applications if you wish such as Samsung Email, Mac Mail and Thunderbird, the graphic user interface (GUI) on these applications may look a little different but as long as you use the settings below, everything should work fine.
We recommend testing both the inbox and sent items by receiving an email to your new business email account and sending a test email to an external email account to make sure the email has been sent.
