Best Way To Managing Email On Multiple Domains

[darkdrift]

What is the best way to manage all the email from all my domains? I know this may sound newb, but I am just sick and tired of typing in "webmail.mydomain.com " and waiting for slow HORDE to load! it sucks!

I have mine forwarded to a folder in my yahoo mail account

I have an IMAP server set up on my personal server. I use a program called fetchmail to grab all the mail from each server every 15 minutes and another program called procmail to sort all the mail into folders. I can then check it with one login from anywhere by logging into my personal server.

I forward everything to a gmail account.

Is that easy to set up? seems complicated

Doesn't that get a bit messy, and wouldnt people get ackward when you reply from a gmail account and not a domain name email?

Use Thunderbird, it's free, works great with multiple imap accounts, I think it's supposed to integrate well with firefox but I just use it by itself

There are several good tutorials out there if you are familiar with Linux and editing config files.

It's not too bad, and I've honestly never had anyone mention it. My sites don't generate a ton of email though.

I do the same thing and no one seems to mind. I don't think that gmail has the same stigma that some other free email hosts have.

I use outlook and have different folders set up to receive the email from the various accounts. That way I have one program to view all email (but sorted nicely into separate folders) and I use the same program to send an email from any of those accounts.

you can change your settings in gmail so that the from field is set to whatever you want.

forward all the email from you@example.com to you@gmail.com
and from other@example.com to you@gmail.com
and then

now I'm gonna try and get this working myself

I use a separate IMAP account for each domain and have Thunderbird set up to check each account separately. This way when I reply to an email the From address is the same as the domain it was sent to. It works great.

I didn't know that. I'm going to have to try that before I send out replies for my domains.

Google has a nice feature that allows you to spoof your FROM field. (mailto)
