Questions, answered.
If you cannot find what you need here, email [email protected] and a real person will reply.
Before you buy
Do I need to own a domain already?
No. If you already own one, we connect your email to it. If you do not, we can register one for you as part of checkout. We recommend .ng for Nigerian businesses or .com if you serve clients outside Nigeria.
What is a mailbox? Is that the same as an email address?
Yes. One mailbox equals one email address, like [email protected]. If you need five people to have their own addresses, you buy five mailboxes.
Do I need one mailbox for every person on my team?
Yes, if they need their own inbox. If you only need a shared inbox like info@ or sales@, that still counts as one mailbox per address.
Can I mix Basic and Enhanced mailboxes?
Yes. Under the same domain, you can have some mailboxes on Basic and some on Enhanced. Give contractors the lighter plan, give your core team the full toolkit.
Paying
Can I pay in Naira?
Yes. We use Paystack, which accepts Nigerian cards, bank transfers, and USSD. You do not need a dollar card.
Do you accept cryptocurrency?
Yes, via Cryptomus. We accept Bitcoin, USDT, USDC, and several other coins.
What happens after I pay?
You get a receipt immediately. You also get an email to set up your WorksMail dashboard account. Your mailboxes are provisioned within the same business day, usually within a few hours during Nigerian working hours.
Do you offer discounts?
We run periodic promotions. If a plan is discounted, the original price is shown with a strikethrough. Annual plans are usually 15 to 20 percent cheaper than paying monthly.
After you buy
How long until my email works?
Within the same business day. Usually much faster. If your payment clears during Nigerian working hours, most setups are live within two to four hours.
How do I access my email?
Two ways. On the web at the login URL we send you by email. Or on your phone and laptop using any standard email app like Outlook, Apple Mail, or Gmail via IMAP.
Can I migrate my old emails from Gmail or Outlook?
Yes. Migration is free. You provide your old account details and we handle the transfer. No downtime, no lost messages.
What happens when my plan expires?
We send reminders at 30, 14, and 7 days before expiry. On the expiry date your mailboxes are suspended but the data is kept for 30 days. If you have not renewed by then, the mailboxes and their contents are deleted. This is not reversible.
How do I renew?
You will receive a reminder email with a renew link. You can also log into your WorksMail dashboard and renew from there.
Can I cancel?
Yes, anytime. Cancel from your dashboard. Cancellation stops the next renewal. It does not refund the current period unless you are inside the 7-day cooling-off window.
Features
How much storage does each mailbox get?
Both Basic and Enhanced include 25GB per mailbox. Enhanced also includes a 15GB personal drive for document collaboration.
What is the AI Assistant?
A tool inside the Webmail that helps you draft replies, summarize long threads, and clean up your writing. You bring your own API key, so your data never trains public models. Included with Enhanced.
Do I get a calendar and contacts?
Yes, on both plans. Enhanced adds sync across all your devices (ActiveSync, CalDAV, CardDAV) so your phone, tablet, and laptop stay in step.
What about spam and viruses?
All emails are scanned with enterprise-grade filtering. It blocks 99% of threats before they reach you. You can also tune your own whitelist and blacklist.
Is my data safe?
Yes. Your mailbox is encrypted at rest and in transit. Two-factor authentication is available. Your data sits on servers governed by strong privacy law, with no ads and no data mining.
Troubleshooting
I am not receiving emails. What should I do?
First check your spam folder. Then check that your MX records are pointing correctly (we verify this during setup, but changes to your DNS elsewhere can break it). If still stuck, open a ticket from your dashboard.
My emails are landing in the recipient's spam folder. Why?
Usually because your domain's SPF and DKIM records are not set up. These are configured during initial setup. If you changed your DNS provider since, the records may have been lost. Open a ticket and we will check.
I forgot my password.
Use the forgot password link on the login page, or open a ticket from your dashboard and we will send you a secure reset link.
Can I set up my email on my phone?
Yes. Every mailbox works with IMAP, POP3, and for Enhanced, ActiveSync. We send setup guides for iPhone, Android, Outlook, and Thunderbird after provisioning.
