Email hosting isn't provided on Durable. If you have a domain you got via Durable and want to send an email message from your custom domain email address, then you need to use a third-party email hosting service such as Google Workspace or Microsoft Outlook.
Remember that the specific steps and interfaces might change over time, so refer to the latest guides from Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 for accurate and up-to-date instructions. If you have specific questions about the features within Google Workspace or Outlook, you should contact Google or Microsoft directly for detailed knowledge.
On this page, we guide you through setting up Gmail and Outlook.
Setting Up a Custom Email Address with Gmail:
Setting Up a Custom Email Address with Gmail:
Choose a Domain: First, you'll need to have a domain name registered. This is the part that comes after the "@" in your email address (e.g., "[email protected]"). You can register a domain through domain registrars like GoDaddy, Namecheap, or Squarespace domains.
Choose an Email Hosting Provider: Once you have a domain, you'll need to choose an email hosting provider. Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) is a popular option that integrates seamlessly with Gmail.
Sign Up for Google Workspace: Go to the Google Workspace website (https://workspace.google.com/) and sign up for a plan that suits your needs. Follow the prompts to set up your account and domain.
Verify Domain Ownership: Google will guide you through verifying your domain ownership. This usually involves adding a DNS record provided by Google to your domain settings.
Set Up Email Accounts: You can create custom email accounts using your domain after verification. Follow Google's instructions to set up individual email addresses for yourself and your team members.
Accessing Gmail: Once your custom emails are set up, you can access them through Gmail's interface by logging in with your custom domain credentials.
