Virtual Assistant and Sending Emails

by 4 replies

So I am thinking about hiring a virtual assistant to send lead generating emails on my behalf so I don't have to sit and send emails all day. But I would like the emails being sent to come from my own personal email account. However I do not want to give access to my email account to my VA where they can see and read all my other emails.

Anyone know if there is any sort of solutions to this problem and how I can get a VA to send emails for me without giving full access to my email? I use a gmail account.

  • Most likely you will have to pop a email account ...

    POP is pretty simple; that's an acronym for Post Office Protocol. A communications "protocol" is just the language used between your email program, a POP client, and your ISP's mail - or POP - server.

    The "3" is even more boring. This is version three of the POP protocol. It underwent a few revisions before it became what it is today.

    To configure a POP account, you need three pieces of information:

    The name of your ISP's mail server that holds your email. Typically, it's something like "mail.example.com".
    The name of the account that you were assigned by your ISP. This may or may not be your email name, or something like it. Or something completely unrelated.
    The password to your account.


    If I can help any further let me know ...
  • What I do is setup a separate gmail account that my VA has access to. He can then send emails that I ask him to send. I set the account up so that replies to directly to me.

    You can also setup a gmail account such that your VA can send emails AS IF they came directly from your account.

    So VA has VA@gmail.com
    You have ME@gmail.com

    You can setup VA@gmail.com to be able to send as ME@gmail.com

    Some authentication is involved, but it's easy and you can do it. Then hand over the VA account. He can send on your behalf, but not see your email.

    • This sounds like exactly what I need. Any guide somewhere on how to set this all up?
