To set up a proper business email like you@yourcompany.co.nz, you need two things: a domain name and an email platform. Most Auckland small businesses go with either Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, both run around $10 to $15 per user per month. You point your domain's MX records at the platform, create your mailboxes, and you're away. We do this kind of setup for Auckland businesses every week, give us a call and we can sort the whole thing out for you, including the domain side.
Both are solid, it really comes down to how your team works. Microsoft 365 wins if you live in Word, Excel and Outlook, or if you've got staff used to the Microsoft world. Google Workspace is brilliant if you want everything in the browser and you collaborate on documents constantly. Pricing is similar at the entry tier. For most Auckland trades and service businesses we lean Microsoft 365, for creative and startup teams we lean Google. Tell us how you actually work day-to-day and we'll point you the right way.
A typical small business migration takes between a few hours and a couple of days, depending on how many mailboxes and how much old mail needs moving. The actual mail copy runs in the background, the bit that needs planning is the cutover, when your MX records swap and new mail starts landing in the new system. We always plan that for a quiet time, often overnight or a weekend, so nothing important gets missed. Done properly, your team should barely notice.
Head to gmail.com and click "Forgot password". Google will walk you through a few options: a code to your recovery phone, a code to your backup email, or answering some security questions. If you've got your phone with you and it's the one tied to the account, you'll usually be back in within minutes. If none of those work, Google's account recovery form is the last resort, but it can be slow. Bring your devices into our Auckland workshop and we can often help you through it.
First thing, change the password immediately, and make it a long one you've never used anywhere else. Then turn on two-factor authentication so a stolen password isn't enough on its own. Check your sent folder and your forwarding rules, hackers often quietly set up rules to copy or forward your mail. Tell anyone in your contacts that anything dodgy from you wasn't really you. If you're unsure or it keeps happening, we can sort it for you, this is a job we see a lot.
Log into your Google account, go to the Security section, and look for 2-Step Verification. Switch it on and choose how you want to receive codes, usually a text message or the Google authenticator app on your phone. We always recommend the app over text because SIM swap scams are a real thing in NZ now. It takes about five minutes to set up and is honestly the single best thing you can do to keep your email safe.
Start with the simple stuff: check you've got mobile data or Wi-Fi, then go into Settings, Mail, Accounts, tap your iCloud account, and toggle Mail off and back on. If that doesn't sort it, sign out of iCloud completely and sign back in, but make sure you know your Apple ID password first or you'll be stuck. Software updates often fix flaky iCloud Mail too. If you're still stuck, pop in to our Auckland workshop and we'll have a proper look.
The cleanest way depends on which platforms you're moving between. Gmail to Outlook and vice versa both have built-in import tools. For trickier moves, like Yahoo to Gmail or moving years of mail at once, a desktop mail client like Outlook or Thunderbird is your best friend, you add both accounts, then drag and drop folders across. We do these jobs all the time and can save you hours of fiddling, particularly if you've got thousands of messages.
An MX record is the signpost on the internet that tells other mail servers where to deliver mail for your domain. If your MX records are wrong or missing, your email simply won't arrive. They live with whoever manages your domain name, often the company you bought the domain from. When you set up Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, the MX records need updating to point at the new platform. We handle this routinely, it's a five-minute job for someone who knows what they're doing.
Nine times out of ten this is a missing or broken SPF, DKIM or DMARC record. These are little text records on your domain that tell the world your email is legit. Without them, Gmail and Outlook are increasingly happy to dump your mail straight in the junk folder. Setting up all three properly is the gold standard. We can audit your domain, fix the records, and usually have your deliverability sorted within a day. It's one of the most common jobs we get called in for.
You can have as many user mailboxes as you have licences. On top of that, you also get shared mailboxes for things like info@ or accounts@, and those are free as long as they're under 50GB. Distribution lists and aliases are free too. So a five-person business often ends up with five paid mailboxes plus another half dozen shared and alias addresses, all at no extra cost. We can map out the right setup for your team.
Technically yes, you can run a basic email service through your domain host or a cheap mail provider for a few dollars a month. The catch is reliability, spam filtering, calendar sharing, and the polish you'd expect for business use. For a hobby or a side project it can be fine. For a real business with clients and invoices, we strongly recommend a proper platform. The few dollars a month difference is nothing compared to a lost email costing you a job.
A proper migration copies all your old mail, calendars and contacts across to the new platform. Folders, attachments and read or unread status all come with it. We do a test migration first to make sure nothing gets lost, then run the full job. After cutover, your team logs into the new system and finds their entire history right where they left it. If your old system was webmail through your domain host, we can usually pull that across too.
Most business mailboxes come with 50GB or more, so hitting the limit usually means years of attachments piling up, big PDFs from clients, or huge sent items folders. The quick fix is to find and remove the biggest items, often a few large attachment threads do the damage. The longer-term fix is moving to a higher tier if you genuinely need the space, or shifting old mail to an archive. We can help clear out the clutter and set up archiving so it doesn't happen again.
This is exactly what shared mailboxes and inactive mailboxes are for. The clean way to handle it is to convert their old mailbox to a shared mailbox, which keeps all the mail accessible to whoever needs it and stops costing you a licence. You can also auto-forward incoming mail to whoever is taking over. We do this kind of staff offboarding regularly, give us a call and we can sort it without anything getting lost.
Your email address is almost certainly on a few leaked lists from old website breaches, that's how spammers find you. You can check at haveibeenpwned.com to see where. Good news, modern Gmail and Outlook spam filters catch most of it. Mark anything that sneaks through as spam so the filter learns. Don't click "unsubscribe" on obvious junk, it just confirms your address is live. If you're getting hammered, give us a call and we can tighten the filters up for you.
Repeated logouts are usually one of three things: an old saved password that no longer matches, a security setting Yahoo has triggered because of unusual logins, or a browser issue with cookies. Try clearing your browser cookies for Yahoo, then sign in fresh and tick "stay signed in". If Yahoo thinks your account has been accessed from a weird place, it can be worth verifying it through the recovery process. Bring your laptop in and we'll get to the bottom of it.
Absolutely, and most people love it once they've set it up. The Mail app on Mac, the Outlook desktop app on Windows, and the Gmail app on your phone can all pull in multiple accounts. You get one combined inbox so you're not switching between apps all day. We set this up for clients regularly, particularly people running a side hustle alongside their main email. Bring your devices in and we'll have you sorted in one visit.
This is called email spoofing, and unfortunately scammers can fake the "from" address on an email without ever touching your account. The good news is your actual email isn't necessarily hacked. The fix is partly on your end, making sure SPF, DKIM and DMARC are set up on your domain, and partly just warning the people receiving the fake mail. If it's a business domain we can lock down those records properly so spoofing becomes much harder.
Maybe, it depends on the provider and how long it's been closed. Gmail accounts inactive for two years can be deleted entirely and won't come back. Outlook accounts can sometimes be recovered if you act quickly. Yahoo is more strict. Either way, the account recovery page for that provider is the place to start. If you've got important mail attached, like banking or government logins, get on it sooner rather than later. We can help you work through the recovery if you're stuck.
