Manage the domain and emails you bought in lemlist

Open a purchased inbox, copy or reset its password, connect it to Gmail or Outlook, edit its DNS, and cancel an email plan or the domain renewal.

Everything you do with a domain after buying it is in one place in lemlist: SettingsBuy domains & emails, then Settings on the domain’s row.

That panel opens the inboxes, copies and regenerates their passwords, reassigns an address to a teammate, cancels an email plan or the domain renewal, and holds the DNS zone.


Limitations

  • This covers domains bought through lemlist. A domain registered elsewhere is not managed here.

  • Cancelling an email plan or turning off auto-renew takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle. Charges already taken are not refunded, and a domain purchase is not refundable at all.

  • lemlist warns above the DNS zone that editing it can stop the domain and its emails working. Do not change it unless support has asked you to.


Where are the settings for a domain I bought?

Step 1. Open lemlist Settings, click Buy domains & emails under Team settings, find the domain in the list and click Settings on its row.

The Domains list in lemlist settings with Buy domains & emails selected in the menu and the Settings button highlighted on a domain row

The panel that opens is headed with the domain name and a Configured badge, and holds three sections: Email Addresses, DNS Zone and Other settings. Everything below is in there.


How do I open a purchased inbox or get its password?

Step 2. Expand Email Addresses. Each address shows its status, who it is Assign tod, and an Actions column. Click the menu on the address you want.

The Domain panel with Email Addresses expanded, one address assigned to a teammate, and its Actions menu open on Open inbox, Copy login password and Regenerate login password

The menu holds exactly three actions:

  • Open inbox loads the mailbox in a new tab.

  • Copy login password puts the current password on your clipboard.

  • Regenerate login password issues a new one. Every client using the old password stops working until you update it.

Buy more emails at the top of the same section adds another address on this domain.

✅ Verify: Open inbox loads the mailbox.


How do I connect the mailbox to Gmail or Outlook?

Allow about 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 3. Collect the mailbox credentials: the email address, its password from the menu, and the SMTP and IMAP server and port. Other settings is where lemlist keeps the domain’s credentials.

Step 4. In your email client, add the account. In Gmail that is SettingsAccounts and ImportAdd another email address. Paste the details and save.

✅ Verify: the client fetches mail from the mailbox, and a test send arrives.


How do I cancel an email plan or stop the domain renewing?

Step 5. Expand Other settings and look under Billing.

The Billing block of a domain, showing the monthly email address cost with a Cancel all email plans link beside it, and a Domain auto-renew toggle with its next payment date
  • Cancel all email plans stops the monthly billing for every address on this domain.

  • Domain auto-renew, switched off, stops the domain renewing on its yearly date. lemlist states it plainly under the toggle: to cancel your domain, turn off auto-renew.

Both take effect at the end of the current billing cycle, and neither refunds what has already been charged.

✅ Verify: the Billing block shows the plan cancelled, or auto-renew off.


Can I edit the DNS records or add a redirect?

DNS Zone lists every record on the domain, with a form above it to add one. SPF, DKIM, MX and the tracking CNAME are all set up when the domain is bought.

The DNS Zone of a purchased domain, warning against editing it, above a table of MX, A, CNAME and TXT records with a form to add one

lemlist warns above the table: editing this section without knowing what you are doing, or without being asked to by support, can stop the domain and its emails working. URL Redirections, further down Other settings, sends a subdomain to a URL you choose.


Troubleshooting

Mail is not arriving in my external client

The SMTP or IMAP details are wrong or incomplete.
Fix: re-check the server addresses and both ports, and confirm the email address and password are the complete values you copied.

The password does not work

It was copied with a stray space, or it has since been regenerated.
Fix: copy it again from the menu and check for spaces at either end. If it still fails, click Regenerate login password and use the new one, updating it in every client.

I cannot find the domain settings

The domain was not bought through lemlist, or your account cannot manage it.
Fix: confirm the domain appears under Buy domains & emails. On a team, ask an Admin whether you have access.

I cancelled and I am still being charged

A cancellation applies from the end of the current billing cycle.
Fix: check the renewal date in the Billing block. The final charge for the cycle you are in still applies and is not refunded.
