Feature request: domain name email

Pete291

Hello

I got my custom domain name PeterDeCamp.com through GoDaddy. When I asked for an email account "Pete@PeterDeCamp.com" they said that it was not possible yet with Smugmug clients and that I should contact Smugmug about this.

Any thoughts about when this will be available?

That's not right
I'll ask Markham to clear it up w/ Godaddy.

We don't do email, but they do.
In fact, I have my email through godaddy, as well as my domain But SmugMug has nothing to do with it, I'm afraid to say.

You should have a 100Mb mail boxe with your GoDaddy account. See Denise's post:

godaddy and email
I have an email with mine that matches my domain name. I neglected to set it up until recently :bash. I just went over to the email section of Godaddy and set it up, I had the credit from the purchase of my domain.

I've looked it up and you should have an email.

Yes, we're checking on our end but really, what you need to do is tell Godaddy you want email

It's what I did a couple years ago, I host all my domains on Godaddy.

Hi Pete...

I got your Private Message about this topic again. You have a domain w/ Godaddy. If they charge again for email, that's up to them, I'm so very sorry

I can't control what Godaddy charges, for email I wish I could.

You can easily add email to your Account on Godaddy.

I don't mind being charged. I cannot set up email at all. It's impossible, they say, with the type of account I have.

Give us another business day to have a chat with Godaddy. Sorry about the hassle

Yes, I am working with GoDaddy to fix this. Turns out that we actually need to modify the terms of our agreement before they can allow this to go live. That should be done this week.

When it is available GoDaddy will give you credits in your account to allow email.

Stay tuned.

Ok we are all good to go.

GoDaddy is now offering 1 free email account to all SmugMuggers that buy a domain name. Go check it out: www.smugmugdomains.com

Thanks,

You know, I just use GOOGLE APS to use my own domain.
Basically google Apps gives you a free email address using the Gmail interface...

And you can practically have as many email addresses as you want!

Sweet, but there is a broken link on that page. On the right side on step three where it says "click here to go to your control panel" the link is

https://smugmug.com/homepage/settings.mg?settings=professional

but it should be

https://www.smugmug.com/homepage/settings.mg?settings=professional

Hi Scott, working fine for me - you must log in or be logged in to get there.

Okay, it's not actually a broken link, it's a security warning... You guys must have trusted smugmug.com this in the past, I have not. The issue is that the security certificate is for *.smugmug.com, and apparently smugmug.com is not covered by the *.

Here's what I get in IE7



and here in FF3 beta 5 (I know, I know, betas not supported)

Just want to throw my two cents into the mix here. Ditch the godaddy provided email account and sign up for Google Apps for your domain. Then you can have a you@yourdomain.com email address (and more than one)... and have it fueled by the amazing gmail engine. Plus when you set up your domain w/ google apps you can also get access to google docs, google sites, google calendar and more for your domain. Just a thought. I can give you tips and pointers on how to configure that with a godaddy domain if you do change

Ditching the Godaddy email account is not necessary. I use Godaddy email to forward all of my emails to my Gmail account automatically and I use Gmail to respond using the address the email was sent to. And that is using multiple domains. One for my FD domain, one for my photography domain, and others.... It works perfectly and my customers are none the wiser.

I also use Google Docs, Calender, and the other features. If you have a domain that allows email forwarding, and a Gmail account, there is no reason not to use them together.

Even better, I have my Godaddy email address keep a copy all of the emails sent to me. That way if I ever need to go back and recover a lost email, I have it. I have also used the Godaddy email account to send important emails while Google was "experiencing technical difficulties"

Google Apps is pretty cool but a friend of mine has had nothing but trouble with their linking of email, web hosting, domain hosting, and other stuff together. His explaination to me was something along the lines of putting all of his eggs in one basket being a problem. His plan is to move back to Godaddy for domain/web hosting and keep using Gmail for the other stuff.
