Cloud-Mail

The offers of free email providers sound enticing to begin with, as they promise quick set-up inboxes; however, they offer hardly any configuration options, only allowing you to customize the local part – the part before the @ sign, of your email address. If your desired username is already in use, you have to resort to using numbers or symbols to create your email address, which looks unprofessional.

Cloud mail from 1&1 lets you freely choose your complete domain so you can set-up professional inboxes for you and your employees. What's more, inboxes from 1&1 and the web mailer are completely free of ads, unlike those of free providers.

There are various possibilities for accessing your emails in the cloud. The easiest is accessing the web mailer using the browser on either your desktop PC, tablet, or smartphone; the only thing you need is a working internet connection. Thanks to the uniform design, you will be able to navigate the menu and find all your emails quickly, no matter which device you are using.

Of course you can also use your choice of email program like Outlook, Thunderbird and others to manage your email. The only thing you need to decide is whether you want to access your emails from an email program using all of your devices, or just from one computer.

The respective set-up process varies from program to program. The 1&1 Help Center has a useful guide with pictures for how to install Outlook.

Unfortunately, spam emails are very common. They are particularly annoying as they fill up your email account and make it hard to find important emails. What is more, they also occasionally smuggle malware into your inbox. Our cloud mail offers give you effective tools to protect yourself from unwanted or harmful messages and filter the majority of the mails with suspicious content or from a suspicious sender.
