WA Site Email Frustrations

2K followers

I have been using the email at WA for awhile now, but I started to find that I was outgrowing it. There is no spell check, and I couldn't search for emails, or move any more emails to folders.

I needed something different. So I decided to create a gmail account.

The email I created at WA is an important email account, as all of my affiliate programs use it. So I manually forwarded all the important emails from WA to gmail and then deleted my email inbox here and created an email forward.

I also had another email account with that same domain, but a different name. I figured that one would be fine, so I didn't do anything with it. To my frustration, I now can't log into it anymore! I didn't know that would happen! All my contacts and messages that I received through that email are lost!

So yah, that is my frustration for the day. Now I don't know what to do. I wish there was a way I could get into this email again so that I can do the same as what I did for my other domain-specific email.

You always want to use gmail for email management with forwards. This way you could in theory centralize and manage 100's of domain specific emails within one gmail account (For all of your website).

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING can compete with gmail in terms of it's speed, quality, spam filtering, and features and the fact that it is free. I have always forwarded my domain specific emails and if you follow the tutorial above you will be able to send and receive emails to those accounts from a centralized gmail account.

This is exactly what I do. I have all my domain emails go into one Gmail account and have it automatically assign them to tags, exactly as explained in the training Kyle links to.

Gmail is great. The spam filter is particularly powerful.

Thanks Kyle. I will be doing this from now on!

I remember that you cannot have both forward and email box (for the same user), so if you have created forward email, the other is lost automatically.

I am sure you are aware of this, but its a good idea to have your WA site email forwarded to your personal email. This way you have all the functions of your personal email provider.

I know that now! :) You know how it goes, you start out making mistakes...and then you learn :D

For sure. I have made more work for myself correcting mistakes here than I ever have before.

Site Support should be able to help

Ok, thanks Marion!

Rather than trying to understand exactly what, where, how and why, I think your best bet would be to submit a Support Ticket asap. At the very least, they can tell you whether anything is recoverable.
Good Luck!
