While most of this guide will also be applicable to other mail providers, additional steps may be required. + Every tutor is expected to use a <em>@carpentertutoring.com</em> email address to facilitate client communication. This guide will walk you through setting up your email from scratch and configuring your mail client to use it. </p> - <h2>Receiving Mail</h2> - <p> - Once your <a href="/">carpentertutoring.com</a> email address is created, you will receive a verification email. In order to receive mail in your personal address from this alias, you will have to click the confirmation link in the verification email. Once complete, you can start receiving mail immediately. + You have two options for using your new email address. The first is <em>standalone</em> which allows you to use the mail client of your choice to send and receive mail. Some popular desktop clients are Apple's Mail app, Mozilla Thunderbird, and Microsoft Outlook. Popular mobile mail clients include the iOS Mail app and K-9 Mail for Android. Your mailbox will remain on the Carpenter Tutoring mail server and in no way interact with any personal or private mail accounts you have on other systems. </p> - <h2>Sending Mail</h2> - - <p> - Sending mail from your <a href="/">carpentertutoring.com</a> address requires a small amount of setup. - </p> - - <h3>App Password</h3> - <p> - Google 2-Step Verification requires you to first generate an App Password for your personal Gmail account. Note that <em>you must have 2-Step Verification turned on for your account in order to forward sent mail to your Carpenter Tutoring alias</em>. You can verify whether you have 2-Step Verification turned on for your Google account by <a href="https://myaccount.google.com/signinoptions/two-step-verification">visiting this link to your Google account settings</a>. If 2-Step Verification is turned off, turn it on and proceed with the following steps. + Your second choice is <em>forwarding</em>, where all of your Carpenter Tutoring mail will forward to a personal email address of your choice. Your personal email provider will need to be configured to send mail as your Carpenter Tutoring address for any client communication. The amount of setup is the same, but this method allows you to use a client such as <em>GMail</em> for managing mail. </p> <p> - <ol> - <li>On your computer, open <a href="https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords" target="_blank">App Passwords</a>.</li> - <li>In the bottom of the window, click <em>Select app</em> and choose <em>Mail</em> from the list.</li> - <li>Click <em>Select device</em> and choose <em>Other...</em> and enter "Carpenter Tutoring" in the box.</li> - <li>Click <em>Generate</em>. You will see 16 letters and numbers in a yellow box. Copy this or write it down for the next step.</li> - <li>Click <em>Done</em>. Keep in mind you will not be able to see the App Password anymore. If you forget it before the next step, you will have to create a new one.</li> - </ol> + Remember you can change your decision anytime.

Check "Reply from the same address the message was sent to." This will ensure you respond to tutoring inquiries with your Carpenter Tutoring address and personal mail with your Gmail address.</li> - </ol> - - </p> - - <p>Now you should be able to immediately send mail as your Carpenter Tutoring alias. To test this, compose a new message an check the "From" box.
