The number of mailboxes refers to the actual number of email accounts that you have available in your plan. Each mailbox has its own separate login. The email address that you supply upon sign-up is your admin mailbox from which you can administer all of your other mailboxes.

All personal email plans come with only one mailbox or email address. All business email plans allow for more than one email account. You may view our business plans by clicking the link Business Email Plans. You will see the number of mailboxes that are available for each plan. Pricing is based on the number of mailboxes that you select.

After you choose a plan, you may upgrade at anytime as your needs grow. Also, if your needs exceed the plans listed on our site, simply send an email to support@emailhosting.com and tell us how many mailboxes you need and we will customize a solution for you. We can accomodate any number of mailboxes on our system.

Consolidator accounts are accounts such as your hotmail, gmail, yahoo, earthlink, mindspring, etc. in addition to your IMAP or POP3 email accounts from which our system can periodically pull messages from into your email hosting account with us so that you do not have to login to multiple accounts daily to see all of your email. You can even reply back to messages for these consolidator accounts from your email hosting account as if you were responding from the consolidator account.

To setup consolidator accounts, login to your account and then click on 'Settings', 'Mail Aliases and Consolidation', 'Consolidator Accounts' and then on the 'Consolidate a new account' button.

There are many ways to check your email using our system including webmail, third-party email client (Outlook, etc) and mobile phone. You can access webmail from any computer anywhere as long as you have an internet connection. All of the features listed here on this page apply to your webmail.

To access webmail, you may visit EmailHosting.com and then click on the 'My Account' link at the top of the page. Then, you will enter your username and password and select 'Email Hosting' from the drop-down menu if it is not already selected as the default. Next, you will click on 'Login'. Alternatively, you may access your webmail using http://webmail.yourdomain.com. For example, if you own the domain name xyz.com, you could access your webmail using http://webmail.xyz.com. To set this up, you would add a CNAME record to your DNS. Basically, if you have a website on your domain name, you would contact your web hosting company and request that they add the CNAME record webmail.yourdomain.com in CNAME www.mailanyone.net. If you do not have a website on your domain name, you would simply contact your domain name registration company where you purchased your domain name and request that they add this CNAME record for you.

We pride ourselves in providing the richest webmail experience for our users; and so, we always welcome comments and take them into consideration when implementing newer versions of our webmail.

If you want to use a third party email client such as Outlook with our email service, you will have a choice of setting it up using IMAP or POP3. We provide step-by-step tutorials for setting up your email client using IMAP or POP3 on our Tutorials page.

IMAP and POP3 are two different email protocols. You should select POP3 if you plan on accessing your email from one computer only since email is typically downloaded locally with this protocol. If you need access to your email from anywhere, then you should use IMAP since the protocol keeps email on the server until you delete it.

SMTP is a protocol that we use to send email over the Internet. IMAP and POP3 are protocols that are used to receive email. When setting up an email client such as Outlook with our service, you will need to enter SMTP settings. You will see those settings on our Tutorials page.

All mailboxes are protected from spam using a spam filtering setup that uses Bayesian filtering and smart rules. We stop spam at the gateway; and so, it rarely ever reaches your inbox. Aside from spam not entering your inbox, we do ensure that all legitimate email is delivered to your inbox through our spam scoring technology.

We do our best to ensure spam free mailboxes so that you can focus only on messages that deserve your attention. You will be able to whitelist email addresses, IP addresses or domains so that messages that match the ones noted will always land in your inbox. Alternatively, you will also be able to add email addresses, IP addresses or domains to your blacklist so that these messages coming from these sources are treated as spam.

If a virus is detected in an attachment, the attachment is stripped and only the message is delivered without the attachment.
