Email Options With StarChapter
There is no doubt about it, email is complicated. Functionality, access, protection, storage, and branding are items that need to be taken into consideration when setting up and managing email for your organization. The good news is there are many email services and solutions available to you at a very reasonable price.
What StarChapter Offers
StarChapter provides email service in the form of forwarders. Users can set up email aliases in StarChapter, like [email protected], and have it forward to the correct person’s work or personal email account. This offsets the burden of managing an extra email account and inbox. This feature is included in the StarChapter service.

Tip: StarChapter's forwarders are globally managed for all sites on our hosting platform. If you want granular control over email filtering options, then consider setting up a dedicated inbox outside StarChapter. |
Setting Up Dedicated Inboxes Outside StarChapter
If your organization requires dedicated inboxes, then there are several options to consider.
Free Options
One is to set up a free account with gmail.com, outlook.com, or another service provider. Setup the name of the position and organization as the prefix, such as [email protected] This option would provide you with standard web access to your emails, spam and virus protection, and storage.
If you want a domain specific email, use the built in StarChapter forwarders to mask the @gmail or @outlook.com email domains.
