Hostinger Review Part 4: Email Account Setup

Setting up the essential element of any business website, email.

Between the last journal and this one, I got the website up and running.

It is now time to make the email work, so that visitors can contact me.

Logging in to the Hostinger account cPanel, we see a section for Emails.

Hostinger Email Cpanel

Under this section, are choices to set up Email Accounts, Webmail, Email Forwarders, Edit MX Record, Auto Responders, Mail Service Control, and Catch-all Emails. “G Suite” is just an invitation to the alternative paid email service provided by Google.

Email Accounts

This is where we set up email addresses. With my $3.49/m web hosting plan, I get unlimited email accounts.

Hostinger Email Accounts

The email details are clearly shown here. In other web hosting services, I had to search the support section just to get the POP3 and SMTP information.

Webmail address http://ift.tt/2zjy0C0
POP3/IMAP Host mx1.hostinger.com
POP3 Port (secured) 995
IMAP Port (secured) 993
SMTP Host mx1.hostinger.com
SMTP Ports (secured) 587

 

Set up a new email account by entering a name and password.

Here’s the email account I have set up.

Hostinger Manage Email Accounts

Webmail

Click on the blue Email button. You will be taken to the webmail layout run by Roundcube.

Hostinger Roundcube Webmail

Click on Compose to start sending emails.

Hostinger Webmail Compose

We can send emails from here as well as send attachments up to file size of 25MB.

Going to settings under Email Accounts Management, we see a mailbox size limit of 10GB.

Hostinger Email Settings

By default, spam filter and anti-virus management are built in.

Email Forwarders

Instead of using the provided Webmail, I will most likely forward the email to my Gmail account using the Email Forwarder.Hostinger Email Forwarder

Edit MX Record

Hostinger made it easy to edit the MX record if you are using another server for emails.

Email Auto Responders

Use this to automatically tell people you are on vacation when they send you an email.

Mail Service Control

I would leave everything here enabled for Sendmail, POP3/IMAP and SMTP services. WordPress requires the Sendmail service. Hostinger Mail Servie Control

Catch-all Emails

The catch-all service is useful if you are afraid someone may misspell your email. On the downside, you may receive a lot of spam.

Hostinger Catch All Email

Easy Email Setup

This wraps up the tour of Hostinger’s email service. I would say it’s very easy to set up email addresses. I could go further into exploring the extensive features in Webmail as well as how to set up an external email client instead of using webmail, but that’s for another post.

Coming up next… activating SSL for HTTPS security.

Macbook Air M1 Case

I bought a transparent case for my MacBook Air M1 . It came with a free screen protector, a keyboard cover, and some rubber plugs to cover the ports. Check it out! https://youtu.be/d-wALSd3nn8 I didn't expect the rubber plugs. It was a nice surprise. The case fits snuggly, with access to all the ports. The keyboard cover is almost invisible to the eye. I have no intention to use the screen protector. Why? I need to see the true color of the display for my YouTube videos. ~ Adrian Lee  @Adrian Video Image  The video was recorded on iPhone 12 Pro Max with Filmic Pro app in 4K 60fps and edited with Capcut.

Sony Vegas Pro 8 makes it easier to edit videos from different cameras right from the timeline. You can capture and edit video for a single scene from 2 or more cameras or for a single scene shot a few times with one camera. Here is a tutorial of a Multicamera Edit of a drama I shot. The drama was acted out four times to the public and being a non-profit organization, the client have budget only for one videographer. For each of the 4 acts, the camcorder (Sony HDR-FX7 High Definition Camcorder) was placed at 4 different positions and shot in various angles. Multicamera edit is accomplished in only 8 steps with the Sony Vegas Pro 8. Step #1: Capture Multicamera Video Clips Use the normal Sony Vegas Video Capture function to capture recordings from each camera. Give each capture filename a unique name.

FCPX - The storage device "Macintosh HD" is almost full

The message "The storage device Macintosh HD is almost full" appeared when I was editing a video with Final Cut Pro X on my new Apple Macbook Air M1.   Final Cut Pro Taking up Too Much Space  My Macbook Air M1 had only 256GB of storage onboard. My raw footage was only about 9GB. The biggest file was the FCPX project files itself at about 140GB! How did 9GB become 140GB? There is not enough disk space for my Final Cut Pro. Why Is Final Cut Pro Taking up So Much Storage Final Cut Pro renders files in high-quality media so that we can playback our edits smoothly direct from the timeline.  It creates multiple HUGE high-quality files of our footage in the background.   It is a good thing, so as to maintain high-quality final edited video, BUT not a good thing for a laptop with only 256GB. How to Clear Disk Space on Final Cut Pro The question is how to delete the rendered files in FCPX? 1. Select the library in FCPX...  2. Go to Files > Delete Generated L...
