Jumped a hurdle
I know its small, but I got my email accounts and forwards set up under one email! This took me a stupid amount of time to do, even though its a small task. Thank goodness for WA though for being here to help.
WA isn't perfect.. I asked a couple times on different occasions for help with this matter in the chat and wasn't able to get ANY responses. This is actually kind of unusual for me, I usually get lots of help even if they don't know the exact answer. Regardless, I was able to research enough to come to a solution. I'm sure if I had been on my own (like when I was working on a website pre-WA) I would have been stuck much longer and maybe even stopped altogether..
Here's a couple little tips from what I ended up having to learn:
* If you are trying to send or receive your WA domain emails in another email client you find your SMTP settings to the right of where you login to your email (from WA). Copy and paste these in, be very careful. Then check them AGAIN. I thought I was above a trifling mistake such as entering a space before the password. Think again. And I was even warned about this. For some reason formatting was entering a space in the front of my passwords as I pasted them and because the password was then disguised for privacy I didn't REALIZE that there was a problem! If all else fails, try deleting the very first character of your pasted password.
*WA uses slightly different username and server settings than the default of most email clients. These are a couple fields that you will likely HAVE to change away from the defaults. Watch these closely.
*I didn't end up having to go this far, but website support WILL give it their best to help you out with this if you still can't seem to make it work. Give them a call and be extra nice :)
Thanks guys, 'till next time
