Do you access your email primarily from a Yahoo or MSN webmail account but are too embarrassed to put that email address on a business card? There’s actually a secret workaround for this kind of instance, as most webmasters prefer answering their email via an environment that they are familiar with. Oftentimes, the webmail provided by your dedicated web host isn’t exactly what you’re looking for, or you just prefer the tools of Gmail or the link. So here’s a quick workaround!
Email Forwarding
If you access your MSN or Yahoo accounts more than your hosted email addresses, just set up email forwarding to send all messages received at anything@yourdomain.com to anything@yahoo/msn/gmail.com. It takes about 2 minutes to setup via cPanel or Plesk and is the best choice for new webmasters and dedicated experts alike.
Setting Up Hosted Accounts Via Gmail or Outlook
Gmail and Outlook are the popular choices for hosted email accounts, because you can actually send your emails from their interface, just by configuring a simple solution. You actually only need to provide Gmail with your username and password and it does the rest, after confirming you own that email by sending a test email to the address provided. Outlook is a bit more complicated, but you only need to setup the login details, ports (if necessary), and server information before you can start emailing away!
Accessing your email on a dedicated server just got incredibly easier.
