Start with a professional identity
A business email address uses a domain your company controls. It creates consistency across your website, staff and customer communication, and gives you more control over how addresses are administered.
Choose an address structure and mailbox policy that can work as your organisation grows. Shared mailboxes and role-based addresses may need different handling from personal staff accounts.
Protect access to the inbox
Strong, unique passwords and multifactor authentication are useful foundational controls. Set appropriate access policies and review mailbox permissions regularly.
Joiners, movers and leavers need a clear process for access changes. The right controls depend on your email platform and business requirements.
Think about domain authentication
SPF, DKIM and DMARC help receiving systems evaluate whether messages claiming to come from your domain are authorised. They are important pieces of an email delivery and impersonation-risk strategy.
These DNS records should be planned and tested carefully, especially if your company sends mail through multiple systems such as a CRM, transactional email provider or marketing platform.
Plan a careful migration
Before moving mailboxes, consider the amount of data, aliases, shared inboxes, connected devices and acceptable downtime. A staged transition and validation plan can reduce disruption.
