What is the difference between POP3 email and email forwarding?

With Email Forwarding, you need an existing email address which to forward emails to. With POP3 accounts, you do not need an existing email adres; we will provide you with this.

Nameway®'s free email forwarding service allows you to create up to 100 email addresses that will be forwarded to another existing email address. For example, you can set up the account You@YourNewDomain.com to forward to your existing email address of You@YourISP.com or You@Hotmail.com or any other existing email address.

You must have an existing email address to use this service. There is no need to change the settings in your email program when using this service.

Nameway®'s POP3 Email Pak gives you an actual mailbox on Nameway®'s mail server from which you can send and receive email. It is not necessary to have an existing email account with your ISP or web host in order to use this service.
When using a POP3 mailbox, you may set up the account in your email client (such as Outlook Express) or you may send and receive mail from any web browser through the Webmail access.

How do I set up my free email forwarding?

To set up your free e-mail forwarding:

Click " domain Names", "my domains".
Click the domain name link you want to edit (this takes you to the domain control panel.
verify that you are using Nameway® nameservers
DNS Server should say: current service: - Nameway® -

Scroll down to the "e-mail settings" area, click "change".
Select the link: Email forwarding (forwards to an actual POP3 or webmail account)
Click "Save Changes".

On the following page, put any user name you like into the "Username" box, and on the same line put a real destination e-mail account in the "Forward To" box. Repeat as needed.

Click "save changes" when you are done, and allow up to 1 hour to it to start working properly.

NOTE 1: this is a DYNAMIC page, meaning when you run out of boxes, click SAVE CHANGES, and to add more, click CONFIGURE in the "e-mail settings" area and you will be brought back to this page, but with more empty boxes for you to fill out.
NOTE 2: the software will automatically stop you at 15 line entries, to get more, (up to 100, no extra charge) subject a REQUEST FOR HELP and request up to 100 total alias's. Include your LOGIN name and domain name.

Can I use more than one type of e-mail service at the same time, such as pop3 email and mail forwarding?

Yes.

Currently Nameway® offers a wide variety of possibilities, including free e-mail forwarding, use of an e-mail server IP address, use of a standard MX record including the mail server name, and also the POP/SMTP mail service that is available through your interface.

Only one of these services may be used on a domain at once, but you may change the service at any time to suit your needs.

How do I get more than 15 email forwarding addresses? Can I have more than 100 email forwarding addresses?

As you enter the data for email forwarding, more blank lines will automatically appear. You will be able to enter up to a maximum of 100 forwarding addresses.

What is the * (other) email forwarding record and how do I use it?

When using our email forwarding service there is a special record you can use to set up "wildcard" email forwarding. What this means is that an email sent to an address at your domain that has not been specifically set up will just be sent to the address specified in your wildcard forwarding record.

To set up a wildcard email forwarding record:

Log In to Nameway® your account.

From the menu at the left select domain names and then my domains. This will bring up a list of all domains in your account.

Click on the domain you wish to manage or type it into the box at the bottom center of the page. Your domain must be using Nameway®'s DNS servers in order to use our email forwarding service. If your domain is not already using our servers, click the configure button in the first section - DNS Server. Change the current service to Nameway® and save your changes.

Once your domain is using Nameway®'s DNS servers, you will see a section called Email Settings. If your domain is not already set up to use the email forwarding service you will need to select this option using the change button.

Now that you have set up your domain to use our email forwarding service using the configure button to set up specific addresses.

The last record in your list of email forwarding address, "* (other)", is the preset wildcard forwarding record. In the "Forward to" box for this record simply enter the address to which you'd like email forwarded and save the changes.

That's all there is to it. In most cases your new forwarding should begin working within 1 hour. If you have just switched your domain to begin using Nameway®'s DNS servers it may take up to 24 hours for this change to take effect.

How do I make it look like I am sending email from my domain when I am using email forwarding?

In most cases, you simply edit the outgoing email address in your existing email client account settings. Just open the email account properties or configuration of your current email client account (such as the one given to you by your ISP) and change the email address field to the one you are using with your domain name.

*In most email clients, this will not affect how the email account given to you by your ISP will receive or send mail, it will simply change what your friends and contacts see in the "from" line when receiving mail from you. Be sure not to change any of the important settings such as your mail servers, account username, or password.
The procedure for doing this differs depending on which email client you are using, you may need to check the program's help files to find this field.

Below is a screen shot in Microsoft Outlook to give you an idea of where to make your change.

What is the difference between the ".NAME email forwarding" email address and the free Nameway® email forward service?

The difference is in the structure of the email address. With the .NAME email address, the structure would look like this for the john.smith.name registrant. The Registry forwards this address to a real pop3 email account, and there is a fee for this forwarding that you purchase the with domain:

With Nameway® you can have many more email addresses forwarded, for free, but the email address structure would look like this for the domain name john.smith.name:

email@john.smith.name
john@john.smith.name

Can I forward email to more than one address?

When using Nameway®'s email forwarding service you can forward mail to two or more separate recipients.

On the following page, add any additional user names (alias) you like into the "Username" box, and on the same line put a real destination e-mail account in the "Forward To" box.
Repeat as needed.
