- Every tutor is expected to use a @carpentertutoring.com 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. -

- -

- You have two options for using your new email address. The first is standalone 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. -

- -

- Your second choice is forwarding, 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 GMail for managing mail. -

- -

- Remember you can change your decision anytime. See "Getting help" below. -

- You may choose to use a third-party mail app to check your mail, forward your mail to a GMail address, or use another third-party webmail client. Follow the instructions below for the option you chose when you created your password. The connection settings remain the same either way. -
