Can I use email from one server on another server?

[homeriscool]

Hi all, one of my web hosting accounts does not have email function. My other server does. Is there any way to use the email service from my other server?

Im on cloudways hosting (no email)

Thanks

Use custom mx records to your mail enabled server (rather an esp). You change it from the dns management. If you are looking for ways to send email, and not receive it; you will need a smtp server.

Hi, thanks for taking the time to answer.

I just need a contact form for my cloudways hosted website (no email function)

so it would be clients emailing me through the website. I can respond through my personal email account. Do you know how I can do this?

I have no idea.

I see. You have a wp site, right? Try registering with zoho mail. You can create upto 5 custom domain emails there, forever free. Follow their instructions and add the mx records, spf, dkim records and create your addresses. Once done, use some contact form plugin that mails through smtp (it's really simple to make one, too..), on your wp site that is. Login to zoho control panel, and enable smtp through settings. Then use the following:

smtp server: smtp.zoho.com
Port: 465
Encryption type:ssl
Encrypted password: false
U/P: your email address and password

That should do it.

To check/reply go to zoho.com/mail
Or download zoho app for windows/android.

Zoho is the easiest way to get this done. You can also try bitrix24 as well.

Correct. People think a "free" way wouldn't work, but the truth is; I have been using Zoho almost for the last 2-3 years; it always worked. And more importantly, it's stupidly easy to setup. I will also checkout the bitrix24 website you mentioned about.

You can use Mailchimp also

5 custom domain emails are enough for one site. Are you able to create multiple accounts for multiple websites?
