Email and websites

[bamberger]

My email address is [email protected]. Suppose I set up www.goodproducts.co.uk.
I want people to email me at [email protected] so somehow I need emails sent to [email protected] to reach [email protected]. Assuming that happens, I then want to send an email in reply from [email protected] but I want it to look as if it came from [email protected]. Is this easy? Can anyone recommend any books which cover this sort of thing? Thanks

You just need to buy a domain name of goodproducts.co.uk, if it's still available. It's cheap - very cheap usually, and you can use it to host your email, forward email and so on.
Here is one domain site.
http://www.123-reg.co.uk/

Yes, you can make any email appear as though it's from anyone else. I have a few websites which all mail back to my personal email address. When I want to reply to them, Ijust make sure I put inthe correct address in the from field.

Your web host should show you how to do this.

I also have my sites hosted with 123-reg and they provide a tool to do just what you are after.

I have used http://www.fasthosts.co.uk/ before now, very easy to set everything up and good online help if you don't want to buy a book.

Cost about £5 a month.

... but you don't need to forward them to your existing address, or reply from your existing address.
Assuming you are using any of the popular e-mail clients (Outlook, OE, Thunderbird, The Bat, etc) you can just configure the client with multiple accounts. This means that you can continue to use your old e-mail address for personal e-mail, and your new one for business.
