Configurar Aster Mail en tu primera semana

Secure your account, move your mail, and tell people your new address, one short task a day.

Each day’s task takes a few minutes. You can also finish everything in one sitting.

Before you begin

• Sign in on a computer, because file imports are easier on a larger screen. See Sign in to Aster Mail.
• Have a password manager, or another safe place, ready for codes.
• Keep your old email account open. You need it for forwarding and imports.

Day 1: Secure the account

1. If you skipped recovery codes during sign-up, go to Settings > Security, find Account Recovery, and select Get codes.
2. In Settings > Security, turn on two-factor authentication. See Turn on two-factor authentication.
3. In Settings > Account, add and verify a recovery email. See Add a recovery email.

When Account Recovery no longer shows “At risk: no offline recovery method,” your recovery codes are in place.

Day 2: Move your mail

1. Go to Settings > Import and start an import from your old provider. Large mailboxes can take a few days, so leave it running. See Import mail from another provider.
2. At your old provider, turn on forwarding to your Aster address. See Forward mail from your old address.

Day 3: Shape the inbox

1. Choose your category tabs in Settings > Reading & Conversations > Categories.
2. In the sidebar, select Create folder next to Folders to add folders for the work you do most.
3. Set your signature in Settings > Compose > Signature.
4. Pick a theme, density, and layout in Settings > Appearance. See Customize your inbox.

Day 4: Create your first aliases

Give newsletters and shops an alias instead of your main address. If an alias starts getting spam, delete it. Manage aliases in Settings > Aliases. See Add aliases and custom domains.

Day 5: Install the apps

Install Aster Mail on your phone and computer, and then turn on notifications in Settings > Notifications. See Install Aster Mail on your devices and Set up notifications.

Day 6: Tell people

1. Send a short note from your new address to the people who write to you most.
2. Update your address with your bank, government services, and any account that uses email for recovery.
3. Import your address book. See Import your contacts.

Day 7: Check your plan

See how much storage the import used in Settings > Storage, and then pick a plan that fits. See Compare Aster plans.

Tips

• Mail from uploaded files arrives marked as read, so your unread count doesn’t jump. A connected account keeps each message’s read or unread state.
• On free accounts, an account that stays unused for the period set in Settings > Account is deleted. Signing in from any app counts as activity.

Troubleshooting

• The import is slow: large mailboxes take time. Check progress in Settings > Import.
• Forwarded mail lands in Spam: open the message and select Not spam. To keep a sender out of Spam, add them in Settings > Mail Rules > Allowlist.
