Email Functions

With our web hosting packages, you can create an unlimited number of mailboxes and forwarders for your domains. In addition, numerous convenience and security features are available to you:

  • Autoresponder for automatic replies
  • Catch-all function for collecting all emails sent to non-existent mailboxes
  • Virus scanner for incoming and outgoing emails
  • Anti-spam technologies to reduce unwanted messages

You can also set up your email address in any email client. You can also synchronize your contacts and calendars via CalDAV, CardDAV, and iCal.
