This is something I've been wanting for years and that I found very difficult to get. I mean, without paying per email address of course :-)
First, for my projects Headlinker, Staking Crypto and Baste Sportive I was using Zoho: one email, another inbox, no redirection. I found that very annoying and in order to make it simpler for me, I wanted to be able to receive, classify and reply from within my gmail account.
After extensive research, I find the perfect way using Cloudflare.
Let me tell you how to do so
Setup Business email address
Enable email handling in Cloudflare
First of all, you need to have your DNS handled by Cloudflare. If you're reluctant about that here are all the benefits I see:
- Performance Boost – Cloudflare’s globally distributed network ensures faster DNS resolution, reducing latency for your users.
- Security Enhancements – It protects against DDoS attacks, domain hijacking, and other threats with built-in security measures.
- Easy DNS Management – Cloudflare offers a user-friendly dashboard with quick propagation times for DNS changes.
- Easy import - migration process will copy all your DNS data and you will only have to change the name servers in your original domain name provider
- and many more
Once done
Create email address
- Enable Email Routing
- Create a custom address and select "Send to an email"
- Click on the email you received
VOILA, you will now receive all emails to this address into your inbox.
Create as many addresses as you need
Repeat the process for all email addresses you want to have and be able to send emails from: info, support, hello etc...
For others you can configure the Catch-all address to redirect to one of your emails (I redirected it to hello@headlinker.com which was previously created)
Send email from your business email address
Now let's configure how you can configure your inbox to be able to send from this email address.
