Website administrators are given Domain Administrator access to SmarterMail and manage the email accounts for their own organization. Members can read mail three ways:
- On the web at firehouse.email
- In a desktop client such as Microsoft Outlook, Thunderbird or eM Client
- On an Android phone, iPhone or tablet
Exchange is supported for Microsoft Outlook 2016 and later. When adding the account, choose Exchange and sign in with your SmarterMail address and password. Outlook then synchronizes mail, folders, contacts, the global address list, tasks and notes.
For every other client we recommend IMAP. It keeps messages and folders in step with the server, so the same mailbox looks the same on every device.
