Vanilla Email

Email is electronic mail. It is a way to send and receive mail electronically through the internet, instead of sending paper through the post

To use email, you need:

  • a computer that is connected to the internet
  • an email account from Vanilla. This is like a post box where email addressed to you is sent
  • an email address from Vanilla. Email that is sent to your address gets stored in you email account. You can either have an address that we give you, like yourname@vanilla.co.za, or you can buy a domain name like yoursurname.co.za, and have a specialised email address like yourname@yoursurname.co.za, instead of having the vanilla.co.za bit

    • Pricing

    Vanilla offers you two methods of payment to its top-quality mail server, to accomodate everyone's email needs.

    R20 per month OR R228 per annum

    Understanding Email

    An email account is an electronic post box. You get a username (which is similar to the number of a post box) and a password (the key to your post box). All email sent to your email account can be collected using any email program or web browser.

    An email forward is the equivalent of a real life forwarding address. When you change PO box and leave a forwarding address, any email addressed to you old address, get's resent to your new address. An email forward is similar in that all email sent to the forwarding address just gets forwarded to your account. i.e. an email forward is not an email account, it's just another address that redirects mail to your account, and it's a free service offered with any domain names
