The Email page lets you provision a business email inbox tied to a domain you manage in Homespace. Replace yourbusiness@gmail.com with you@yourbusiness.com and send, receive, and reply without leaving the dashboard.
Business email is included on paid plans that have a connected domain. You need at least one verified domain on the Domains page before you can provision an inbox.

​
Open the Email page

In the dashboard sidebar, click Email. The page shows your current inbox status, the address(es) you’ve provisioned, and a setup wizard if no inbox exists yet.

​
Provision your first inbox

1

Pick a domain

The setup wizard lists every domain connected to your account. Choose the one you want to send from. If your domain isn’t listed, head to Domains to connect it first.
2

Choose your address

Type the local part of the address (for example, hello, support, or your-name). Homespace combines it with your domain to form the full email — hello@yourbusiness.com.
3

Verify domain records

Homespace publishes the MX, SPF, and DKIM records required for delivery. If your domain is registered through Homespace, this happens automatically. For external domains, copy the records into your registrar’s DNS settings and click Verify.
4

Send your first email

Once verification succeeds, your inbox is live. Click Compose to send a test message — replies land directly in the Homespace inbox.
Sending a test email to a personal address is the fastest way to confirm DKIM and SPF are aligned. Check the email’s headers for dkim=pass and spf=pass.

​
Manage your inbox

The Email page surfaces your inbox in three views:
  • Inbox — All incoming messages, ordered by most recent.
  • Sent — Outbound messages from your Homespace email address.
  • Drafts — Messages saved but not yet sent.
Use the ⋯ menu on any message to reply, forward, archive, or mark as unread. Replies you send from Homespace appear in your customer’s inbox as coming from your business address — not from noreply@homespace.co.

​
Status badges

Each provisioned address shows one of the following states:
StatusWhat it means
ActiveDNS verified, inbox is sending and receiving.
PendingDNS records are still propagating. Wait 10–30 minutes and re-verify.
FailedOne or more DNS records didn’t validate. Re-check the values shown on the Email page against your registrar.

​
Add additional addresses

You can run multiple addresses (for example, hello@, billing@, support@) on the same domain.
1

Open the Email page

Click Email in the sidebar.
2

Add address

Click Add address, enter the new local part, and select the domain.
3

Save

The new address inherits the domain’s existing DNS verification — no extra DNS changes are required.

​
Troubleshooting

Wait 24 hours after first activation — sender reputation is still warming up. Make sure SPF and DKIM both show Verified on the Email page, and that you haven’t added a conflicting MX record at your registrar.
Importing from Gmail, Outlook, or another provider isn’t currently supported. You can forward mail from your old inbox to your new Homespace address while you transition.
Yes. Every team member with access to the workspace can read and reply from a provisioned address. Manage who can access the workspace from Team.
