## 10 mailboxes on your own domain, included

Every [dijitul Complete Hosting](https://dijituldns.co.uk/complete-hosting/) plan includes **10 POP3/IMAP email accounts** on your own domain, at no extra cost on top of the £1 a day + VAT. That covers most small businesses: a mailbox each for the owner and staff, plus shared addresses such as info@, sales@ or accounts@.

- **Your domain:** addresses like jane@yourbusiness.co.uk, not a free webmail address.
- **Webmail:** read and send email in any browser, from anywhere.
- **Your own apps:** connect Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird or the mail app on your phone.
- **Secure connections:** IMAP on port 993 and POP3 on port 995 over SSL/TLS, with authenticated SMTP for sending.
- **Forwarders, aliases and auto-replies**, managed in your [Plesk](https://dijituldns.co.uk/plesk-hosting/) login or set up by us on request.
- **Managed server:** the mail server is patched, monitored and protected by the same UK team that runs your website.

## IMAP or POP3: which should you use?

Both are included, and you choose per device.

- **IMAP** keeps your email on the server and syncs it across every device. Read a message on your phone and it shows as read on your laptop. This is the right choice for almost everyone.
- **POP3** downloads email to one device and usually removes it from the server. It suits one computer that keeps a local archive, but messages won't appear on your other devices.

If you're not sure, use IMAP. We can talk you through setting up each device on 01623 650333.

## Included mailboxes vs Microsoft 365 vs Google Workspace

| | dijitul included mailboxes | Microsoft 365 | Google Workspace |
| Cost | 10 accounts included in £1 a day + VAT | Per-user monthly subscription | Per-user monthly subscription |
| Email access | POP3, IMAP and webmail | Outlook apps and Outlook on the web | Gmail in the browser and app |
| Collaboration | Email only | Teams, OneDrive and shared calendars | Meet, Drive, Docs and shared calendars |
| Best for | Small teams who mainly need reliable email on their domain | Teams who work in Outlook, Word, Excel and Teams | Teams who work in Gmail and Google Docs |
| DNS set up by dijitul | Yes | Yes | Yes |

If your team needs shared calendars, file sharing or video calls built into email, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace still works with dijitul hosting. You buy the licences, and we add the MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, autodiscover and verification records for you. Your website stays on our server either way.

## Email DNS: MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC, managed for you

Whether email gets delivered comes down to a handful of DNS records. Get them wrong and messages land in spam or bounce. We manage them in [Cloudflare](https://dijituldns.co.uk/cloudflare-dns-management/):

- **MX** records that route incoming mail to your mailboxes.
- **SPF** listing every service allowed to send as you, such as your mailboxes, website and newsletter tool.
- **DKIM** keys so receivers can check your messages weren't altered.
- **DMARC** policy, starting with monitoring and tightened once everything passes.

We also set website contact forms to send through authenticated SMTP from an address on your domain, rather than PHP's basic *mail()* function, so enquiries reach the inbox. More in our guide to [why emails go to spam](https://dijituldns.co.uk/guides/emails-going-to-spam/).

## Moving your existing email

Moving up to 5 existing email accounts is part of the free [website migration](https://dijituldns.co.uk/website-migration/). Moving more than 5 may be charged, depending on the number and size of the mailboxes, and we'll tell you before we start.

- We create your new mailboxes on our server.
- We copy existing messages and folders across from your old host.
- We switch the MX record in Cloudflare, so new mail arrives at the new mailboxes.
- We run a final copy to catch anything that arrived during the switch.
- We help you reconnect Outlook, phones and other devices.

### What's the difference between POP3 and IMAP?

IMAP keeps email on the server and syncs it across all your devices, so it suits anyone using a phone and a computer. POP3 downloads mail to one device and usually removes it from the server. Both are included with dijitul hosting; IMAP is the usual choice.

### Do I need SPF, DKIM and DMARC for business email?

Yes. Large mailbox providers increasingly reject or spam-folder mail that isn't authenticated. SPF lists your allowed senders, DKIM signs messages and DMARC sets the policy. dijitul manages these records in Cloudflare for every customer on its £1 a day + VAT hosting.
