Five screens. One menu.

The search box at the top of every VuloMail screen finds tabs, settings and sections by name.

Words you'll see everywhere

A tiny glossary.

ConnectionOne account with an email service or SMS provider that you've added
PrimaryThe connection used for every message
BackupThe connection tried when the primary fails
WordPress default mailerHow WordPress sends email on its own, through your web server
Last resortHanding an email to the WordPress mailer when primary and backup both fail
SentA provider accepted the message. It doesn't prove the message reached the inbox
FailedNo connection could send the message
Sent via backupThe primary failed and something else delivered the message

Next: add a backup.

A second connection keeps messages flowing when your main provider has a problem. Then set up a text for when an email fails.
