How can I archive my emails for safekeeping or transfer?

If you want to archive 1 messages at a time   This method can be used to archive one email at a time

  • Log into Webmail and select the email you would like to archive
  • Then click on More and select Download (.eml)
  • The email will then be downloaded to a file on your device

If you want to archive more than 100 messages at a time (This option is only available for paid accounts)

(This method is best if you want to archive more than 100 messages at a time, and is generally recommend as a much more convenient way of downloading emails to your computer.)

Set up a mail client (such as Outlook, Thunderbird, or Mac Mail) to connect with your account via IMAP. If you are not sure how to do this, this article will help you.

Once you have your email account set up, just drag and drop the chosen messages to a local folders file on your computer. At this point you will want to make sure your computer is backed up, as those files will no longer be on our servers.

Problems reported sending emails via Gmail account

14:01 on 10th Jan

We are aware of an issue affecting some users sending emails using a Gmail account when changing the 'Send As' address to the service email address. As the emails are not being sent via our servers they do not include a DKIM signature, which can result in failed authentication checks. This can then result in the receiving server rejecting the email or marking it as spam.This can be resolved by sending emails via our servers using one of the following methods:
  1. Send emails using our Webmail program
  2. Add your service email address to Gmail using SMTP
Please note: SMTP is not included with Free Webmail accounts.You can check which of our email packages you are using by logging into your account and going to the My Account page (see button in the top right of Webmail)If you wish to, you are can upgrade an account so that includes SMTP by please doing the following:
  • Go to the My Account page
  • Click See Upgrades, select a package or bolt on and proceed to checkout.
