Creating Domain Specific Email Accounts at Wealthy Affiliate
Hey everyone!
In this short little vid, I am going to show you how to create a domain-specific email address for your website. In my example I am going to take a domain that I own (skillfulbasketball.com) and going to create an email address that is specific to that domain (kyle@skillfulbasketball.com).
What You'll Learn:
- Accessing the Platform: Start by navigating to the 'Site Manager' under the 'Websites' tab in Wealthy Affiliate.
- Creating an Email Account: Find out how to create a new email mailbox directly linked to your domain, like 'skillfulbasketball.com'.
- Avoiding Email Forwards: Learn why setting up email forwards to services like Gmail might not be the best approach due to low delivery rates.
- Setting Up Your Inbox: Step-by-step guide on creating your new email and logging into your webmail account.
- Email Management: Tips on managing your email, understanding the inbox layout, and accessing settings.
If you've ever wanted a more professional touch to your online presence with a domain-specific email, this video is a must-watch. Plus, I'll be on hand to answer any questions in the comments, so drop any questions you have about this process below.

I created one for my new site, but the problem is none of the emails are staying in the box. I have sent a couple of "test" emails and they disappear. Could this have anything to do with when I asked this question: I do not think it was a set up to nforward, but I think it was set up for notification.
Its for my new business, so I don't want to miss any emails because I goofed it up and did a forward :-(
The question I asked was
"Notifications on your primary email from the email we set up here?
By disappear, are they being removed from your "sent box" on this end, or are they being removed on the other end (which of course we have no control of).
There are no email notifications sent to you for emails here, they simply go to your inbox. Ideally if you are managing domain specific email (and several), you will do so within Google Workspace, which allows this to happen from one centralized email inbox and our hosting team can help you set this up.
ah okay, I figured it was me that messed it up :-)
I followed the directions I got from a member here, I probably misunderstood what it would do when I tried it.
I guess I have to figure out how to undo it then see if support can help set it up
Thank You
there is a box normally in the forwarded email to 'leave a copy in the inbox' and if that isn't ticked then it gets deleted...
if it is gmail then cog wheel
all settings...
accounts and imports
scroll down to the check email from other accounts>>edit info
and there is a' leave a copy of the message on the retrieved server' option - tick this and it will be left there as well as your inbox
Hi Kyle, I have a client whose website, specifically her domain, I switched to wealthy affiliate from Go Daddy. Everything is working fine except she is no longer receiving email to her Go Daddy email account. I have made her an email account here on wealthy affiliate and she is receiving emails to it. But she wants there to be a way for her to have those emails go to her outlook email app on her phone?
Yeah, she would need to create a brand new email account here, or she would need to update the MX records for her domain to point over to Godaddy for the portion of her email account.
If she wants to use Outlook (not recommended), she can set-up the MX records there, but the deliverability for domain specific emails isn't perfect. Ideally she would set that up using Google Workspace, that is ideal for email accounts.
I am going through Jay's class on Creating your first email newsletter, and I tried to create another email using WA EMAIL, but it would not work. Somewhere between WA EMAIL and AWEBER, it would not let me sign into the new email; it just signed me into the old done. And AWEBER gave me an error message when i tried to verify.
I deleted both the WA email ( the new one) and Aweber to start over.
But I am confused. Should I create a new email here using WA EMAIL, or should I create a GMAIL email? and then try connect that with AWEBER.
Ive watched both the classes and I am stumped !
You can use a domain specific email, and you should be. If you cannot log into your email inbox, that would be a question for SiteSupport.
Just make sure are copying your login details correctly. :)
Thanks for getting back to me, I tried that and I put in a ticket, but I still couldn't get it to work. I probably didn't ask the right question or give support the right information, the reply didn't help me fix it.

I dont know how to check it in another browsers, I got frustrated and deleted the whole kittenkaboodle lol.
I will try again and see if I can get it to work.
Thanks for your quick reply
Hi Kyle. For collecting contacts I have Aweber for one site and ConvertKit for the other. People can leave comments at the bottom of each article which I can read in my dashboard.
Should I include the email address inside each article or maybe just on my homepage’s headers?
Thanks Abie. I decided to add the email address in my ‘About Us’ section. I believe they have a plugin for spam too.

Hello Kyle, I created a new email address, following your instructions. I have sent three test emails to my personal email addresses. Two went to spam (and the third one was very delayed). Is there anything I can do about it? Is there another step, i.e. a verification process or anything to increase the delivery into inboxes? Thank you so much in advance. Edith
Yeah, that is the reality with domain specific email. It doesn't always deliver at a high rate, in particular with a new email account. You can set-up Google Workspace, once you start getting more volume and this will maximize delivery rates and allow you to streamline all of your domain specific email addresses within one account.
You can reach out to us when you are ready to do that, and we can help. ;)
Glad to know, Kyle.
Maxine :)
My new address went to spam too
