For Jessica & Paul

Using info@jessicabailey.co.uk with Outlook

Your website now sends every enquiry, booking, contact message and form to the alert address in Jessica Booking → Settings (currently info@jessicabailey.co.uk). This page explains how to read those emails in Outlook on your phone or PC.

What happens now

Someone submits a form on the website.
They receive their confirmation email (where applicable).
You receive an alert email with subject lines like [Jessica Bailey website] New booking… or New contact message.
A copy is also saved in WordPress admin under Jessica Booking.

Check your spam/junk folder the first few times — mark as “Not junk” if needed.

Option A — Add hosting email to Outlook (quickest)

Your domain already has a mailbox on the website hosting (info@jessicabailey.co.uk). You can add it to the Outlook app without changing DNS.

Ask your host (or Murat) for the mailbox password for info@jessicabailey.co.uk.
On your phone: Outlook → Add account → Other / IMAP.
Use these typical settings:
- Email: info@jessicabailey.co.uk
- Incoming (IMAP): mail.jessicabailey.co.uk — port 993 — SSL
- Outgoing (SMTP): mail.jessicabailey.co.uk — port 465 or 587 — SSL/TLS
- Username: full email address
On PC: File → Add account and enter the same details.

This is the fastest way to start receiving alerts in Outlook today.

Option B — Forward to your existing Outlook address

If you already live in a personal Outlook/Hotmail inbox and prefer not to check two accounts:

In your hosting control panel (cPanel), set info@jessicabailey.co.uk to forward to the Outlook address you use every day.
Leave Jessica Booking → Settings → Alert email as info@jessicabailey.co.uk (website alerts still go there, then forward to you).

Or change the alert email in Settings directly to your personal Outlook address — the website will send alerts there instead.

Option C — Full Microsoft 365 (professional setup)

For the most reliable long-term setup, use Microsoft 365 so @jessicabailey.co.uk is a proper Outlook mailbox (not host email).

Subscribe to Microsoft 365 Business Basic (or similar).
Add domain jessicabailey.co.uk in the Microsoft admin centre.
Microsoft will give you new MX records — Murat (or your host) updates DNS (this replaces the current hosting mail setup).
Create mailbox info@jessicabailey.co.uk and sign in via Outlook app.

Important: do not change MX records yourself unless you are ready to move all @jessicabailey.co.uk email to Microsoft. Murat can do this when you have a Microsoft 365 subscription ready.

Changing where alerts are sent

WP Admin → Jessica Booking → Settings → Alert email
Set this to whichever address Jess checks daily — info@jessicabailey.co.uk or her personal Outlook.
