Help / Getting started

Create your company account

Set up your company and your first email address in about two minutes.

You sign up with your own email address, like one from Gmail. You become the owner of a new company on uMail. Then you set up your company domain and create email addresses on it, including your own.

Before you start

You need your name, your company name and an email address you can open right now. You also need access to the place where your domain's DNS is managed. This is usually your domain registrar.

Steps

1. Open the uMail website and choose Start free.
2. Choose Continue with Google, or fill in the form: your name, work email, company name and a password with at least 10 characters.
3. If you used the form, we send a 6-digit code to your email. Type the code to confirm it is you. The code works for 15 minutes.
4. uMail opens the admin page and shows three setup steps: add your domain, add the DNS records, and create your mailbox.

Your own address on your domain, like you@yourcompany.com, is the one you use to read and send mail. Your sign up email is only for managing the company.

New companies start on the Starter plan, with 512 MB of storage for each user. You can change the plan at any time. See Plans and storage.
