Email

Your new email address is hosted on DreamHost, on our shared server, along with our websites.

RESET YOUR PASSWORD!

I think the below method will work for basic webmail users:

1. https://panel.dreamhost.com
2. Click Mail → Manage Email
3. Find your email address, click Manage
4. Click Save Changes at the bottom

Doesn't work? Message me and I can set your password manually using my admin account.

Email clients

For more convenience, you can access your email via an app or software. Follow the instructions below.

NOTE: Follow the IMAP instructions, NOT the POP instructions!! IMAP keeps your emails backed up on our server. POP is by default set to REMOVE emails from the server and kept locally. You don't want that, trust me. https://help.dreamhost.com/hc/en-us/articles/214918038-Email-client-configuration-overview

App recommendations:

1. Outlook

(Microsoft sucks, but Outlook is familiar and relatively easy and feature-rich)

Instructions for setting up Outlook: Windows | Android | iOS

1. Thunderbird

Made by the folks who make Firefox. It's good! There are desktop and mobile versions. This is what I use primarily on mobile.

Get it: Thunderbird Downloads

Setup: Desktop | Android

3. Fair Email

It's open source, minimal, and privacy focused! And works well! Lots of privacy-focused nerds use it. It's a bit more advanced than the others.

Get it (Android only): FairEmail

Setup: First Config
