CoreCommerce

You have several email options for accessing email. Each account level comes with a different number of email accounts, so check your account level to determine how many email accounts are included in your plan.

Here are the different ways you can set up your email:

1. Email box - You would create an actual username and password to log in to your mailbox. Note: Webmail is no longer included with new accounts. You will need to use an email client like Outlook or Thunderbird in order to access your mail.
2. Email forward - Redirect email from an email address and forward it to another email address. You might use this option if you want several different email addresses to go to one email box.
3. Set up MX Records -  Use would set up MX records if you want to use a third-party email provider, such as Google Apps or GoDaddy

Email Box / POP3 Email

This allows you to download your emails and store them in an email client like Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird, etc. Since most people want on-the-go email, where it's stored on the internet and can be accesses anywhere (like Gmail), this option is actually becoming less popular. However, new accounts do not include a Webmail option so if you want to use CoreCommerce for email, you must set up an email client. To create an email account, go to Account > Email in your admin area. Choose Email Type: Password and enter a password. You will then need to set up the account in an email client like Outlook or Thunderbird.

 

Email FORWARD

For each Email FORWARD that you create, you are able to redirect email from one email address to another. So, let's say you wanted to use sales@mystore.com and service@mystore.com, but you wanted both of those email addresses to forward to 1 single account, you would use this option. Login to your Admin Panel > My Account > Email > Add Email Account. Choose Email Type: Forward To and specify the email address you would like the email to foward to.

 

3rd Party Email  (MX Records - 3rd party Web-based email)

If you wish to use Google Apps (gmail style mail), GoDaddy's email or other 3rd party email system, you can simply create an "MX Record" for your domain name to point all incoming email back to another of the above mentioned email providers. See the Related Article below on how to set that up. See the Related Articles below on how to setup this option.
