How to set up your email address

A real inbox on your own domain — info@your-restaurant.co.uk — on your phone, in any browser, for £2 a month. Here is every click, including the phone setup.

Create your mailbox

Open Settings → Email. The first card, Mailboxes on your domain, creates a genuine email account — info@your-restaurant.co.uk — with webmail, 15 GB of storage and spam protection, for £2 a month. Type the part before the @ (most restaurants start with info), pick your domain, add the display name guests should see, and press Add mailbox. Card checkout, then the mailbox builds itself in about a minute — including the mail records in your domain’s DNS, which you never have to look at.

When the row shows Active, press Set password and choose the password you’ll sign in with. It is yours alone — TableSpark never stores it.

Sign in on your phone

Press Phone & app setup on the mailbox row and the card spells out exactly what to type. On an iPhone: Settings → Apps → Mail → Accounts → Add Account → Other → Add Mail Account, enter the address and your password, and choose IMAP when asked. On Android, add an account in Gmail or Outlook the same way. Most apps find the servers by themselves; if yours asks, the card lists them ready to copy — incoming IMAP on port 993, outgoing SMTP on port 465, both SSL, username is the full address. Prefer a browser? The webmail link on the same row signs you into the mailbox from any computer.

Deleting a mailbox works the way you’d hope: one button, and the monthly billing stops with it.

Point guest emails at your address

The second half of the Email page controls the emails TableSpark sends for you — booking confirmations, reminders, order receipts. Set the name on the email to your restaurant’s name, and point guest replies at an inbox you actually check — your new info@ address is the natural choice. Then connect your domain as the sending address, so those emails arrive from bookings@your-domain with your name end to end; when the domain was bought here, the verification records are added for you with one press.

Put together, that is the full set: a domain guests can trust, bought and run without touching DNS; a professional inbox on it, on your phone, for the price of a coffee; and every automatic email your restaurant sends wearing the same name. All of it lives in the same login as the website, and none of it waits on a specialist.
