Having mailboxes at your own domain (e.g. john@your-own-domain.com) makes you look professional and helps establish credibility. It also allows you to reinforce the connection to your website.
Your data is not shared with any third parties and there are no ads interfering with your email communication. You can connect to your mailbox over an encrypted connection both via the Webmail interface and with an email client.
Our email service is included with all of our hosting plans, so you don't have to spend extra for it. Other hosting providers may charge extra for professional email services, while with ICDSoft you get them at no extra cost.
Have you experienced email delays and undelivered messages? We know how important it is that your email be delivered reliably and on time. We have automated monitoring systems and staff trained to handle any email problem to ensure that your business runs smoothly 24/7.
On the road or at the office, your messages are in sync across all your devices if you access your mailbox via IMAP, so you can find everything anywhere. Even in case your computer or smartphone fails, your messages are safely preserved on our server.
Our support team is here to help whenever you need assistance. Whether you have difficulties setting up the email client on your phone or personal computer, or you need to have a message traced in the server logs, just contact us, and we will help you right away.
Access your mailboxes easily and securely from anywhere using your favorite web browser. Supporting virtually any device, Webmail gives you flexibility without compromise. Enhanced mailbox security is ensured by an encrypted connection, optional two-factor authentication (2FA), and the ability to restrict access from other email apps.
Can I move my messages from my old host to your server?
You can easily move your messages from your old hosting provider to our servers with our Copy mailbox tool in the Control Panel. All you need is IMAP access to your mailbox on the old server.
If the old host uses cPanel, you can use the Migration tool in the Control Panel to import your mailboxes from a cPanel backup.
Alternatively, if the other hosting provider can provide an archive of the emails in Maildir format, you can provide us with the file, and we will check if we can import your messages from it.
You can also move the messages via IMAP. You can move messages between servers via IMAP by using a mail program such as Thunderbird. You will need to configure two IMAP accounts for each mailbox in the mail program - one that connects to the old mail server, and one that connects to our server. Then you will be able to drag-and-drop messages between the servers. Note that you would first have to recreate the necessary mailboxes on our end through the Mail Manager in the Control Panel.
You can find instructions for configuring some of the most popular mail programs in our knowledge base section about configuring an e-mail program.
Do you offer spam protection?
Yes, the antispam utilities on our servers include:
- Real-time blocking lists - messages from known spam sources are blocked at the SMTP level.
- SpamDyke/graylisting - filtering messages at the SMTP level based on DNS checks.
- SpamAssassin - content filtering based on predefined rules as well as blocking lists, including Bayesian classifier, allowing customers to mark messages as spam or ham by moving them to and out of the Junk Mail folder.
- Custom header filters that each of our customers can set to block messages from specific sources, or matching specific patterns.
More information about the anti-spam tools we offer is available in our spam protection documentation.
Is your email service compatible with Apple Mail, Outlook, Thunderbird and other clients?
Yes, our email service is fully compatible with all email clients that support IMAP(S)/POP3(S) and SMTP. You can refer to our manuals for step-by-step instructions on setting up the most popular email clients.
We also have a video on setting up Apple Mail (for macOS 10.15) to connect to our email service:
Can I check my email online/with a browser?
We offer an in-house built Webmail interface that allows you to access your email account(s) in a web browser. To access the Webmail interface, please go to:
http://mbox.example.com
You need to replace example.com with your domain name. In order for this link to work, you need to have your domain name pointed to our hosting service already.
Can I use email aliases (email subaddressing) on your servers?
Yes, subaddressing is available on our servers. You can use the - (minus) sign to receive messages for multiple email addresses on a single email account.
How do you prevent my outgoing emails from ending up in spam? Do you offer SPF, DKIM, and DMARC?
To ensure your emails reach their intended recipients and don't end up in spam folders, we automatically configure SPF, DKIM, and DMARC authentication for all domains hosted with us.
SPF (Sender Policy Framework) validates that emails from your domain are sent from authorized email servers. This prevents spammers from forging emails that appear to come from your domain.
DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) adds a digital signature to your outgoing emails, allowing receiving servers to verify that the message hasn't been altered in transit and confirming it genuinely originated from your domain.
DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance) works together with SPF and DKIM to provide an additional layer of protection. It specifies how receiving servers should handle emails that fail authentication checks and can be configured to provide reports on email activity for your domain.
Beyond authentication, we continuously monitor and protect your sender reputation. All outgoing email is routed through clean, high-reputation IP addresses. We actively monitor for blacklist issues, and if an IP address is ever listed, we act immediately — investigating the cause, working to delist it, and rotating to a fresh IP to ensure uninterrupted email delivery. We also proactively detect and stop abuse to keep your domain trusted. Unlike email sent from mass VPS or home networks (often blocklisted), our curated infrastructure ensures strong deliverability.
