Does EasyBroker Include Email Accounts?

For EasyBroker Premium users when you move your domain name to EasyBroker we also help you configure your email for use with your own domain name so that you can have your own email addresses such as yourname@yourbusiness.com. We recommend that you use Google Apps to host your email. It’s a free service from Google and they do an excellent job at hosting your email and they allow you to have up to 50 email accounts with over 7GB of space for each account.

How do I setup Google Apps for email?

You can use Google Apps to host your email. If you decide to host your website and domain name with EasyBroker we automatically setup your domain name for use with Google Apps. There are free and paid versions of Google Apps but the free version is more than sufficient for most small to medium size business.

To sign up for the free Standard version take the following steps

Go to http://www.google.com/a/cpanel/domain/new
Select the radio button Administrator: I own or control this domain
Enter the domain name that you are hosting with EasyBroker and click Get Started
Fill in your contact information on the next page
Check the box that says I understand that if I cannot alter DNS records for my domain, I may impact my organization’s ability to use Google Apps.
Enter your organization information
For the question Does your organization currently provide email accounts? select No
Click Continue
Fill in the information for you administrative account
Click Continue
In the box with the title Select one of the methods below for verification instructions select Upload an HTML file to yourdomain.com(yourdomain.com will actually be replaced with the domain you signed up with)
Click Continue
Copy the code presented to you in step one, it looks like googleffffffffaa1122bb.
Open a new browser window (or tab) and go to http://www.easybroker.com/agent/site_configuration/advanced_settings
Paste the code into the Google Apps Verification Code field on the Google Apps section and save.
Go back to the Google Apps verification page and click the button I’ve completed the steps above.

You can now access your admin email account by going to https://mail.google.com/a/yourdomain.com replacing yourdomain.com with the domain you used to setup Google Apps. Keep in mind that it can take up to 24 hours for Google to verify your account. You will be able to receive but not send emails until your account is verified. You can also create additional email accounts or mailing lists for your Google Apps account. Visit Google’s help page for Google Apps for more information on managing your Google Apps’ account.

How do I email properties to clients?

You can email up to ten properties at a time to any contact or lead. Each email has a photo, brief description and link of each property. To send an email, go to the properties page, select from one to ten properties and then click the Email button above the search results. On the next page enter a contact or lead in the To field and click the Send button. Note that the from address is one of the email addresses you have associated with your user’s contact. If you want to send from a different email, add the email address to your user’s contact.
