Set up professional business email
Email from name@yourbusiness.com looks far more professional than a free address, and it protects your brand. LimeOrigin manages the setup over the provider you choose, and generates the fiddly DNS records for you.
Step by step
- 1
Choose your provider
Pick Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Zoho, simple forwarding, or bring-your-own. LimeOrigin manages the setup on top of that provider — it doesn't replace your mail host, it makes it easy to run.
- 2
Let LimeOrigin generate your DNS
LimeOrigin creates the exact MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC and autodiscover records your domain needs, and verifies them live. Where supported, it can push them to your DNS for you.
- 3
Create your mailboxes
For supported providers, create mailboxes, aliases, groups and shared inboxes, and assign licences — all from one screen instead of a provider console.
- 4
Check deliverability
The readiness self-test proves your setup works against the real provider, so your first email doesn't land in spam.
Your checklist
0/5 doneBest practices
- ✓ Set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC (LimeOrigin generates all three) so your email is trusted and less likely to be marked as spam.
- ✓ Use a shared inbox (like hello@) for general enquiries so nothing depends on one person.
- ✓ Run the readiness self-test before you tell customers your new address.
Common mistakes
- ✕ Skipping DKIM or DMARC — this hurts deliverability and lets others spoof your domain.
- ✕ Assuming LimeOrigin hosts the mailbox. It manages the provider you choose; the mail lives with that provider.
