DNSimple provides a simple and effective way to manage email accounts for your domains, allowing you to create custom email addresses like "info@yourdomain.com" and access your inbox through popular email clients. 

1. **Log in to your DNSimple account:** Access your DNSimple dashboard and navigate to the "Domains" section.

2. **Select your domain:** Choose the domain for which you want to create email accounts.

3. **Locate the “Email” section:** Find the "Email" tab or section within your domain's settings.

4. **Create a new email account:** Click on the "Create Email Account" button or a similar option to start the setup process.

5. **Enter email address details:** Provide the desired email address (e.g., "info@yourdomain.com") and choose a strong password.

6. **Select an email service:** DNSimple integrates with popular email services like Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) or Microsoft 365, allowing you to manage emails through their platforms.

7. **Configure email settings:**  DNSimple might prompt you to configure MX (Mail Exchanger) records to route emails correctly to your chosen email provider. Follow the instructions provided.

8. **Access your email:**  After setting up your email account, you'll have access to your inbox through your chosen email service's web interface or by configuring an email client like Outlook or Thunderbird.

 If you already have email accounts set up with a different provider, ensure your MX records point to the correct location.  Transferring email accounts might require updates to your DNS settings. 

 Depending on your email client, you might need to configure settings like incoming and outgoing server addresses, ports, and authentication credentials.

 Correct MX records are critical for email delivery. If you encounter email problems, check your MX records to ensure they're properly configured. 

  Refer to your chosen email provider's documentation or support for additional configuration or troubleshooting assistance.

 DNSimple also offers email forwarding, allowing you to redirect emails from one address to another.

Create and configure email accounts with DNSimple, including setting up custom email addresses and managing your email inbox.

Setting Up Email Accounts

Email forwarding lets you redirect emails sent to one address to a different email account, a useful feature for managing multiple email addresses or keeping your primary inbox organized. DNSimple offers a straightforward way to set up email forwarding for your domain.

2. **Select your domain:** Choose the domain for which you want to set up email forwarding.

3. **Locate the "Email" section:** Find the "Email" tab or section within your domain's settings.

4. **Click on "Email Forwarding" or a similar option:** Look for a section related to email forwarding or aliases.

5. **Enter the source email address:** Input the email address you want to forward (e.g., "info@yourdomain.com").

6. **Enter the destination email address:**  Provide the email address where you want the forwarded emails to be delivered (e.g., "yourname@gmail.com").

7. **Select forwarding options:** If available, you can choose additional settings, such as whether to keep a copy of the forwarded email in your DNSimple inbox.

8. **Save the forwarding settings:**  Click on "Save" or "Create" to finalize the email forwarding configuration.

 Remember that email forwarding doesn't affect your MX records. Your MX records still need to point to the location of your primary email provider.

 If you're using an email client to manage your primary inbox, ensure you configure it to receive emails from the forwarded address.

  It might take some time for the forwarding settings to fully propagate, so allow for a short delay before testing the forwarding functionality.

  DNSimple might allow you to configure multiple forwarding addresses for a single source email address.

 Some services refer to email forwarding as email aliases, allowing you to create an alias (a second email address) that forwards emails to your primary inbox.
