Every company in Basecone has a unique Basecone e-mail address where documents can be sent to be delivered to Basecone.
Sometimes there is the need to change this Basecone e-mail address so that the e-mail address is more recognizable and personal. There are a number of possibilities for this:

  • Change the Basecone e-mail address

  • Forward e-mails from your own e-mail address to the Basecone e-mail address


Change the Basecone e-mail address

The unique Basecone e-mail address is structured as follows:
<officecode>.<companycode>@mailtobasecone.com

The part before the @ cannot be changed. The part after the @ can be changed. The Support Team can request a domain name for this. The following points are important for before this can be changed:

  • The costs to own your own domain name is GBP 7,50 (excluding VAT) per month per office environment. This will be changed for all the companies in this office.

  • Basecone claims the domain name

  • This domain name must be unique (it cannot infract the brand or company name of other companies or organisations

In order to adjust the e-mail address, we would like to receive a signed request form. You can then send this request form to the following e-mail address: basecone.support@wolterskluwer.com.


Forward e-mails from your own e-mail address to the Basecone email address

It is also possible to have documents automatically forwarded to the unique Basecone e-mail address of a company from your own e-mail address (invoices@company.com). For this you need to set a forwarding system in your own e-mailbox. How this works exactly depends on your e-mail provider, your IT department or system administrator can help you with this.

Tip: You can automatically tag, such as adding [ink] in the subject line (note: this is not possible via a Gmail account).

Depending on your e-mail provider you can also choose to keep a copy of the forwarded messages, then control regularly whether the limit of your e-mail inbox account is not exceeded. If the limit is exceeded, new messages may not be forwarded.


Forwarding from a Gmail account

If you want to automatically forward documents from a Gmail account to an e-mail address of a company in Basecone, it is necessary to confirm this forwarding with a confirmation code.

Unfortunately, due to a change in Gmail, the confirmation code can no longer be looked up in Basecone. You now need to submit a request to support to have the forward confirmed.

You can then enter this code in the Gmail screen below. Please go to Settings and then to the tab Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab.
