With Volusion, you have the option to add email accounts and storage to your monthly hosting plan. This allows you to create a set of consistently-named email addresses for your Volusion store using the format mailboxname@domainname.com.
Note: Volusion must be your DNS and/or email host before you proceed!�

Creating an Email Address
-
Log in to my.volusion.com.
-
Click Manage Email below the my Stores heading in the left navigation menu.
-
If you have more than one domain, make the appropriate selection from the Email Accounts drop-down menu.
-
Click Add to create a new email address. A dialog box will open.
-
Complete all fields and select the Active check box and click Create.
�
Create an Alias
An alias presents a particular email address to customers with a different name. For example, if you wanted all help-related questions to wind up in the yourname@yourstore.com inbox, you could create a help@yourstore.com alias for that email. Here's how to get one set up:
-
On the My.Volusion email account management page, click the Add button above Aliases.
-
Enter a unique name for the alias.
-
Enter the mailbox or mailboxes where you want emails sent to this alias to be forwarded. You can also add email addresses that do not belong to this domain � for example, store.owner@gmail.com. To add multiple emails in the To: box, separate each email with a comma and no spaces.
-
Click Create.
Summary
Once you've set up your mailboxes, you're ready to connect to your Volusion email account. Now you can contact customers with a unique address straight from your store.
If you want to manage your email through a specific third-party client like Gmail, you can find the relevant mail server settings here. You can also configure Volusion email for your mobile device.
