# Mailboxes and forwarders

## This article provides information on using the new club email provider on Pitchero and Plesk.

**March 2026 update**

We’re aware of an issue where some emails sent from club email addresses are not reaching recipients who use Microsoft email services, such as Hotmail, Outlook, or Live.

Our product team is currently working with our email provider to investigate and resolve this as a priority. At the moment, it appears this may also be affecting emails sent by other organisations, not just Pitchero clubs.

Thank you for your patience while we continue to look into this. We apologise for the inconvenience caused.

In the meantime, clubs can still send messages to their members using the Communication feature in the club admin dashboard.

### Overview

Clubs that have registered or transferred their domain name to Pitchero can use the email service connected to the domain registration.

The number of email addresses that the club can create is based on the club's website package subscription. 

- Standard - 10 mailboxes
- Pro - 50 mailboxes

For more information, see the Packages area of the club's admin dashboard.

**Please note**:

To create a new email address associated with the club's domain name, the domain name must be registered to Pitchero.

Clubs using a domain name that is managed externally to the Pitchero system cannot use the email feature available.

For details on transferring a club's domain name to Pitchero, [click here](https://help.pitchero.com/knowledge/transfer-domain).

---

### Access the email provider dashboard

Webmasters with access to the Settings area of the Pitchero club admin dashboard are able to access the third-party Plesk email dashboard (via the Email Addresses page on Pitchero) to create, update and remove email addresses associated with the club's domain name.

Clubs will not have direct access to the Plesk email dashboard, but use a magic-link from the Email Addresses page on Pitchero based on having access to the Settings area already.

Individual mailbox holders can access their mailbox via the webmail portal, and/or securely connect the mailbox to an external device.

### Add a new mailbox

Step-by-step guide:

- Go to your Pitchero club admin dashboard
- Click '**Settings**' on the left-hand side of the page
- Click '**Email address**' in the sub-menu
- Click '**Manage accounts**'
- Click '**Create Email Address**'
- Enter the email username (e.g. **secretary**@clubname.co.uk)
- Enter the '**Notification** **Email**'
- Enter or generate a '**Password**'
- Click '**Save**'

---

### Login to a mailbox on webmail

Step-by-step guide:

- Go to your Pitchero club admin dashboard
- Click '**Settings**' on the left-hand side of the page

    - If you are a club that has migrated to Plesk, you will need to click on the '**Webmail'** link and login

**Top tip**:

If you are struggling to access a mailbox, contact an administrator of the club to check the email address settings on the Plesk email dashboard and generate a new password for the email address.

---

### Connect a mailbox to an external device

Mailboxes created in the club control panel can be configured to a secure mail client. This means you don't necessarily need to log in to the mail account each time you wish to view or send an email.

Information ordinarily required to configure a mailbox:

- The email address (e.g. secretary@clubname.co.uk)
- The password for the mailbox
- Incoming IMAP server - imap.phsecure.com - Port 993
  
  Outgoing SMTP server - smtp.phsecure.com - Port 465
