Welcome to the bar, Nathan!

The pack mail will be available *really* soon ('soon' in terms of days rather than weeks).

Quite probably, if you hold your breath, you will make it

Is there any news on when the Gandi Mail Pack will be available?

I really need more than one mailbox!

Hi, I tested the 1 email account for my domain. It is good. Now, when can we see the creation of more than 1 email accounts (Gandi mail pack). I am thinking of using this Gandi mail pack to replace the 10 emails that I created when I hosted the domain name somewhere else [now down for more than 12 hours]. Thanks,

Looks interesting.

Thanks in advance.

Hello!

The correct outgoing server name is (in your case): smtp.ikioma.info.

As you are using the DNS of a third party, I cannot see what MX records you have added to your zone at your web host, but you need to be using:

pop 10800 IN CNAME access.mail.gandi.net.
imap 10800 IN CNAME access.mail.gandi.net.
smtp 10800 IN CNAME relay.mail.gandi.net.
webmail 10800 IN CNAME agent.mail.gandi.net.

If you only entered:

@ 10800 IN MX 10 spool.mail.gandi.net.
@ 10800 IN MX 50 fb.mail.gandi.net.

...that will only work for your mail forwarding and NOT our other services (such as sending mail).

(in any case, please don't forget the final 'dot' when you make the records at your host!)

So check and see that you have entered all the MX records correctly, and you will be able to send mail without any difficulty (after you make changes to your zone, remember that you will need to wait several hours for the propagation to occur - it will not work right away).

Concerning the configuration of Apple Mail for sending mail, remember that smtp.ikioma.info is your outgoing server, and that your username is the FULL e-mail address of your mailbox, and that your password is the one you specified when you set up the mailbox.

That's all there is to it!

We have opened a Gandi Group for peer-to-peer assistance with Gandi Mail that everyone may enjoy at: http://groups.gandi.net/group/gandi...

Have fun!

I have tried and tried and tried and tried but no matter what i just can't get to _send_ mail via smtp.ikioma.info or smtp.gandi.net.

Receiving mails work just fine, so i am halfway there.

It is when i am trying to send mails i get an error message that the server cannot be used and i am prompted to choose another server. Please help, this is driving me crazy because i can't figure out what i am doing wrong. I think i have tried just about everything.

For what it's worth I am using apple mail.app. Are there other settings for this program that i am not aware of?

regards/
Lukiss...

Hello Glo!

Before you can access Gandi Mail, you need to create a mailbox.

To create an e-mail mailbox, you need to:

1. Go to the domain name's control panel (if you have more than one, you need to click on the domain that you want to create an address for)
2. Click on the link "manage my accounts" in the e-mail area (down in the Technical Settings section). This will take you to the page where you can create a new mailbox.
3. From there, click on the "create" button and select the type of e-mail service you want to create. Select "mailbox" in this case.
4. Enter the name that you want that mailbox to have and all the other settings (password, etc.).

(for more on this, please visit our FAQ at: https://www.gandi.net/faq/view_cate...

To access your mail, you have two options:

1) Via our webmail service (in Alpha testing) at http://mail.gandi.net
(more here: https://www.gandi.net/faq/view_cate... )

2. Via an e-mail client (ex. Thunderbird, Mail, Outlook, etc..)
(for more on this: https://www.gandi.net/faq/view_ques... )

If you have any problems with your Gandi Mail, please feel free to discuss them with the Gandi community or to write to support. We have a special community group for Gandi Mail users here: http://groups.gandi.net/group/gandi...

Have fun!
