Review domains, existing mailboxes, aliases, forwarding and the information that must be migrated.
Business Email & Security Setup
Maintenance & IT Care · Top SEO
Keep business communication tied to accounts your organisation owns.
Email setup and migration need a clear mailbox inventory, provider choice and access plan.
Work we can scope
Agree what belongs in the project.
Scope provider setup, authentication records and account protections appropriate to the chosen service.
Plan migration checks, user guidance and responsibility for administration after handover.
Decisions before work starts
Confirm licences, DNS ownership and the handling of historic mail before changes. SPF, DKIM and DMARC configuration depends on the actual sending services; do not replace records without understanding the whole mail flow.
How the work should be reviewed
Test agreed sending and receiving paths and review authentication results. Confirm retained mail, aliases and account recovery arrangements before retiring the old setup.
A question worth asking
Can a migration promise no lost mail or downtime before review?
That would be premature. Assess access, provider constraints and the existing data first. Agree backup, cutover, verification and rollback steps, along with the maintenance window and responsibilities.
Illustrative planning example · not a client result
A practical situation to plan for
A mailbox migration could interrupt customer enquiries if aliases, access and existing messages are overlooked. Start with an inventory and a plan for verifying the business's important communication routes.
What to agree and check at handover
Agree the provider, domain ownership, migration checks, user handover and ongoing administration. Keep account recovery under the business's control and clarify which support responsibilities continue after setup.
