How do I setup email for my webstore?

We recommend using a major Internet Service Provider  such as Google Apps or GoDaddy, or Rackspace.com.  The cost to host your email can be as low as $2.50 per mailbox per month.  If you want Sophio to help you setup your email, please visit your Sophio account and purchase the number of mailboxes you wish to use.  The cost is $2.50 per mailbox and we will charge you monthly.  You may be able to get a better deal by going to a third party.  The choice is yours.

If you signup with Sophio to manage your webstores email, you will be using the Rackspace email service with Sophio as your 'reseller'.  This means that we can help you diagnose problems.

If you just want to know the various settings for POP, IMAP and SMTP see below.

Inbound Servers (receiving mail):

Insecure
---------
POP Server (Non-SSL) pop.emailsrvr.com 110
IMAP Server (Non-SSL) imap.emailsrvr.com 143

Secure
--------
POP Server (SSL) secure.emailsrvr.com 995
IMAP Server (SSL) secure.emailsrvr.com 993


Outbound Servers (sending mail):
SMTP Server (SSL) secure.emailsrvr.com 465
SMTP Server (Non-SSL) smtp.emailsrvr.com 25, 587, 8025, 2525


If you are changing your mail server settings at your registrar, you will need to create two MX records. 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Blank or @ 3600 MX mx1.emailsrvr.com 10
Blank or @ 3600 MX mx2.emailsrvr.com 20

Also create an SPF Record
-----------------------------
v=spf1 include:emailsrvr.com ~all


Lastly, you should have mailbox named 'postmaster' to be in compliance with web standards.  This mailbox will receive lots of junk mail and will be the mailbox that anti spam lists will contact when your domain has a problem.
