In order to start using BigScoots for your email you will need to be sure of the following.

  1. Your domain name is added to your WPO dashboard which you can view using this link: https://wpo.bigscoots.com/user/sites

  2. You have access to your domain's DNS records which in most cases are already available to you in the WPO dashboard under your domain.

  3. Be aware that when you change your domains MX Record your email service will stop working with whomever it was with previously, your emails will now come to BigScoots only.

Step#1:

To start, log into https://wpo.bigscoots.com/. Now click the Email tab on the left-hand side.

Step#2:

The next step is very simple, click Activate ensuring you are activating the email for the domain you are inquiring about.

The process to set up your email service has begun...

Step#3:

You can now start creating email accounts, however, based on the Email Status you will more than likely require additional changes.

From this point, you will need to update your domains A and MX records.

1) Add an A record for Domain: "mail" and IP: "67.202.70.12"
​

2) Add an MX record for Domain: "@" and value: "mail.yourdomain.com"
​

  • This can be accomplished in the DNS Records tab unless your DNS is hosted elsewhere.

  • If you need assistance doing so please open a ticket

  • Once your MX record is updated properly, your emails will start coming to your BigScoots email and you should see a Active stats as shown below

Your email service is now active, you will be able to successfully receive emails to your email accounts.
