IT Assistance ~ MS Outlook ~ Email Forwarding?

[Stuart Mitchell]

This is for another organisation that I am helping out with, not my knives one.

Brand new laptop, MS Outlook installed.

They have an email address which is: nameoforganisation@outlook.com

I have purchased the URL: nameoforganisation.co.uk, in order to look more professional.

Can that URL be used to set up various email addresses, such as: info@nameoforganisation.co.uk; bookings@nameoforganisation.co.uk; volunteers@nameoforganisation.co.uk, etc., etc.?

And can it all go through that nameoforganisation@outlook.com address without that address being seen as it were?

Hi Stuart, I think you should look on your new hosts (company hosting nameoforganisation.co.uk) website for guidance on setting up a custom email address

^^^ Exactly this. Each ISP has different rules - I use Names/FreeParking and there are limits on numbers of mailboxes, mailbox sizes, aliases, etc. Not all are generous and most are looking for a revenue scheme downstream. Having gone with the domain registration you have, you need to look at their offerings first off. It can be moved but that'll incur more expense.

There are better experts on here able to advise so "incoming"

I used name.com, as that is who I use for my own knifey stuff.

I didn't set all that up either

If I understand your question correctly, this is just an alias setting in Outlook. You can add/link multiple addresses that are linked to your main email account.

I think you might be correct. I'll find out later.

I think I have managed to forward from the host (name.com) to Outlook.

Once I get onto Outlook later, I think those alias settings should make outgoing mail look like @nameoforganisation.co.uk (rather than nameoforganisation@outlook.com).

I dunno though, I'll see later.

Thanks, all.

You just need to set up a series of email forwarders on your hosting platform, rather than setup actual mailboxes. Each will auto forwarding to you Outlook mailbox. There is usually a management page where you can set this up.

One downside is that when you reply it will come from your Outlook address.

I there no way of avoiding, or circumnavigating this?

Personally I'd just use an email account on the new domain for all outgoing mail, easy enough to add multiple accounts to your phone or PC.

What is the difference between this and what I am trying to do, please?

I have multiple email accounts on my phone in Outlook and can select which one I send an email from - yahoo.com, work.com, school.com etc.

I only have a work laptop so can't install other accounts on that but does Outlook 365 not work in the same way?

I've used Zoho for this exact purpose before. Id recommend.

From what I understand, you currently want all email to forward from your new domain email accounts to an Outlook email account, my suggestion is for the domain accounts to auto forward to a single account on your new domain, which you can send the replies from. Thus not revealing your outlook account.

However, I'm not really sure what you are trying to achieve by using the Outlook account, so I'm probably missing some essential detail.

If this was for one of my businesses I'd set up however many new mailboxes on the new domain, each with a username/password - but then also add an auto forwarder (server side) to a sperate admin account to "catch all" for each mailbox. So while I wait for people to fill the roles associated with each mailbox, I can ensure that all email is being received and monitored by one person (me the admin), and then at a later date when I have someone to manage each mailbox those individuals can send replies from accounts@, sales@, info@ etc - but I still retain oversight of all incoming email.

Sounds like you are talking yourself into a job here
