Plain, Friendly Help With Everyday Email
Twenty simple guides covering setup, tools, writing, and safety. No jargon, no confusion, just clear answers.
Email should be the easy part
Most of us use email every day, but very few people were ever shown how to set it up properly, keep it secure, or write messages that get a quick reply.
EmailX fills that gap. Each guide answers one common question in plain English, with clear steps you can follow in a few minutes, whether you run a small business, work for yourself, or just want a tidier, safer inbox.
If you are starting a business, begin with the basics. Our guide to creating a professional email address shows you how to pick a name that looks trustworthy, and setting up email on a custom domain walks you through matching your address to your website. On a tight budget? Compare the best free email hosting for small business, or see how to get a business email without a website at all. If you send email to lots of people, Google's email sender guidelines explain the authentication and spam rules your messages need to meet.
Ready to reach customers? Our marketing guides cover the best email marketing tools for beginners, how to build an email list from scratch, and the best time to send a marketing email so more people actually open it.
Good writing matters just as much as good tools. You will find ready-to-use templates for a polite follow-up email, out of office messages, and professional email signatures, plus the workplace etiquette rules that keep conversations friendly and clear.
Finally, email is one of the most common ways scammers try to reach you. Learn how to spot a phishing email before you click, what to do if you need to recover a hacked email account, and practical ways to stop spam emails for good. The Federal Trade Commission's guide on how to recognize and avoid phishing scams is also well worth a read. Browse the topics below to find the guide you need.
