Overview

About this plugin

g. com) to any Gmail account without creating dedicated mailboxes. The plugin has a built-in free email address.

In many cases after a WordPress website has been built, there is also a need to add emails that will be branded with the same website domain.

It’s a personalized email address using your domain name. com.

A business email address makes a great professional impression.

Here are some options you may want to start with:

com

com

com

There are several other options, however, they present some disadvantages.

com. The limitation of these solutions, is that they are only one sided. If you want to send an email back it won’t have “yourdomain” suffix, it will be an email that comes from Gmail, which in some cases might make you look less professional.

Other solutions include buying addresses from third party email providers. The most popular service is Gsuite by Google. com with Gsuite, you will have to open a new “company” in Gsuite and then define every address.

Every address has its own storage. Limitations are – high price (around $5 per mailbox per month), and all of the definitions of these addresses are done from an eternal dashboard. Another disadvantage is that every address is a real mailbox.

com all past emails of 1 are staying forever in the storage of 1. It is very complicated to move these emails to another box.

Mailshogun overcomes all these disadvantages with these unique features: It is an email forwarding system, but you can also send back emails from your gmail and your customer will receive the email from your unique domain. It is a full solution in both sides. There are no inboxes for the addresses, and it is very flexible- you can open, delete, modify addresses very easily.

Perhaps you have info, webmaster, contact, sales emails, you can forward all of them to one Gmail address. All mail definitions are done from the WordPress standard admin dashboard – like any other plugin. Mailshogun is also cheap, as one address is free and others are $10 per year, which is 1/6 the price of Gsuite.

How it works

com, this information is stored in Mailshogun servers and configure the servers accordingly. The actual forwarding is done there.
