Why business email matters

Your email address is part of your professional image.

A domain-based address helps customers recognise who they are dealing with and keeps business communication separate from personal accounts. The right setup also makes it easier to create, manage and support mailboxes as your team changes.

  • Build a more consistent and credible business identity
  • Use addresses connected to your own domain
  • Keep personal and business communication separate
  • Manage mailboxes, aliases and users more clearly
  • Access email across supported desktop and mobile devices

Professional email can improve consistency, but it does not automatically eliminate spam, phishing or delivery problems.

Choose the right platform

Domain Email vs Microsoft 365.

The right option depends on your team, budget, workflow and collaboration needs.

@

Domain Email

Often suitable for smaller teams with straightforward email needs and standard IMAP/SMTP access.

  • Custom domain addresses
  • Desktop and mobile access
  • Simple mailbox hosting
  • Lower-cost starting point
  • Best for basic email needs
M

Microsoft 365

Often suitable for growing teams that need Outlook or Exchange-based email plus collaboration options.

  • Outlook and Exchange-based mail
  • Calendars and contacts
  • Shared mailboxes where supported
  • Microsoft collaboration tools depending on licence
  • Capabilities vary by Microsoft 365 plan

Email security & deliverability

Good email setup is about more than creating a mailbox.

Authentication, account habits and accurate DNS records all contribute to a healthier email setup. We help configure what your platform supports and explain the limits clearly.

  • SPF, DKIM and DMARC records where supported
  • Strong password practices and MFA where available
  • Spam-filtering and mailbox-quota guidance
  • Phishing awareness and safer account habits
  • Sender-reputation and bounce-message basics

No setup can promise zero spam, perfect deliverability or complete phishing prevention.

Existing email support

Already have business email? We may still be able to help.

Sherrlinn can often support an existing email system even when another provider originally configured it. We first confirm that the required accounts, domain records and platform controls are accessible.

  • Current provider and account access
  • Domain and DNS access
  • Mailbox condition, quotas and settings
  • Provider limits and supported configuration
  • Existing authentication and device setup

Complex faults, inaccessible accounts or wider tenant work may require a separate investigation and quotation.

Frequently asked questions

Business email questions, answered.

Clear guidance before you choose a mailbox, migration or support option.

What is business email?

Business email uses an address connected to your own domain, such as [email protected], instead of a personal free-email address.

Can I use my own domain?

Yes. If you control the domain and DNS, we can usually configure compatible professional email services for it.

Do you support Outlook?

Yes. We can configure and troubleshoot supported Outlook versions for compatible domain email and Microsoft 365 accounts.

Can you set up email on mobile phones?

Yes. We can connect compatible mailboxes to supported iPhone, iPad and Android mail apps and test basic sending and receiving.

Do you offer Microsoft 365?

We provide Microsoft 365 setup and support. The available email and collaboration features depend on the Microsoft 365 plan selected.

Are Microsoft 365 licences included?

No. Licence and subscription costs are separate unless they are explicitly included in your written proposal.

Can you migrate my existing email?

Often, yes. Feasibility and pricing depend on the current provider, account access, mailbox size, data volume and migration complexity. Complex migrations are quoted separately.

What are SPF, DKIM and DMARC?

They are DNS-based email-authentication controls that help receiving systems evaluate whether a message is authorised to use your domain. Support varies by provider.

Can you help if my mailbox is full?

Yes. We can review the quota and available options, such as archiving, cleanup, a larger plan or mailbox changes where supported.

Can you help with spoofing or phishing?

We can review authentication settings, account security and practical next steps. No configuration can guarantee complete phishing or spoofing prevention.

What is included in the monthly support plan?

The plan includes up to 1 hour of remote email support per month for agreed troubleshooting, mailbox configuration, access assistance and basic guidance. It is not unlimited support.

Do unused support hours roll over?

No. Unused support time does not roll over. Additional remote support is charged separately from R750 per hour, and major migrations or projects are quoted separately.
