Open-Xchange email

OX mail integrates email, calendar, contacts, task management, and document sharing; it has unique teamwork features including team view, single password sign in, shared calendars and much more.

Trust & security come as standard

Because the email address is personalised to your domain name it instils trust, it's also more secure. You can access from any mobile or on-premise device through all common browsers. More benefits include:

• Synchronisation with MS Outlook, Mac/OS, CRM, and mobile devices (iPhone, BlackBerry…).
• Heightened security with virus & spam protection, and connection encryption.
• Secure email archiving.
• Personalised to your domain name and email address.

Choose a starter or business package

To activate your mailbox you first need to subscribe to an OX package, either the Starter or Business. The Starter pack is included free with your domain name, but if you'd like more storage and control over your calendars and tasks, then the Business package may suit you better. If you choose this package, you'll be asked to enter the number of months you'd like to start the service with.

• In your EuroDNS account click on DOMAIN NAMES > ACTIVE.
• Move the cursor over the domain name and click on Manage, to the right.
• Under Addons, click on BUY MAILBOX, then click on + BUY A NEW MAIL.
