Email is the one system every business depends on and nobody wants to think about — until a mailbox fills up, a new hire can't sign in, invoices start landing in customers' spam folders, or an account gets locked out. Bay Geeks handles the platform so you can just use it.

One Point of Contact for Business Email

We take care of the day-to-day changes that otherwise eat your afternoon: new hires and departures, shared mailboxes and aliases, forwarding rules, storage limits, retention settings, and connecting mail properly to phones and computers. When something breaks, you call one number instead of waiting in a platform vendor's support queue.

Migrations Without the Chaos

Whether you're moving from an old web-host mailbox to Microsoft 365, from Microsoft 365 to Google Workspace, or from either into Proton Mail, the approach is the same: we inventory what you have, copy mail, contacts and calendars to the new platform first, then switch your domain's mail routing at a scheduled time — usually outside business hours. The new mailboxes are verified before anything old is shut off, so the move doesn't cost you your history.

Deliverability: SPF, DKIM & DMARC

If your quotes and invoices keep ending up in spam, the usual culprit isn't your writing — it's your domain's authentication records. Mail providers increasingly reject or junk messages from domains without correct SPF, DKIM and DMARC records. We audit your DNS, fix the records for every service that legitimately sends as your domain (your mail platform, invoicing software, newsletter tool), and re-test until your mail is authenticated.

Email Security, Passkeys & Account Recovery

Email is where most break-ins start, because a stolen password is the cheapest way into a business. We set up multi-factor authentication and passkeys, clean up compromised accounts, and help you recover access when you're locked out. Microsoft is retiring SMS and voice sign-in codes for Microsoft 365 accounts in phases starting September 2026 — if your team still signs in with texted codes, that transition is worth planning now rather than discovering it at 8 a.m. on a Monday.

Which Platform Fits?

We don't push one vendor. Microsoft 365 makes sense for teams that live in Outlook, Word, Excel and Teams. Google Workspace fits teams that prefer Gmail, Docs and Drive. Proton Mail's end-to-end encryption suits work where confidentiality is the point — legal, medical, financial and similar practices. Many of our clients run a mix, and we support all of it.

Can't Access Microsoft 365?

Microsoft is retiring SMS and voice sign-in codes for Microsoft 365 accounts in phases starting September 2026, requiring passkeys instead. If your team gets locked out during the transition, our remote support team can help with authentication issues, passkey setup and account recovery — or plan your rollout ahead of time.

Straight Answers

Email Services FAQ

Which email platforms does Bay Geeks support?

Microsoft 365 and Exchange Online, Google Workspace and Gmail, Proton Mail, and standard IMAP/POP mailboxes from legacy web hosts. If you're not sure what you have, we can identify it in a few minutes over a remote session.

Can you migrate our email without losing messages?

Migrations are staged: mail, contacts and calendars are copied to the new platform first, then your domain's mail routing is switched at a scheduled time. We verify the new mailboxes before anything old is shut off.

Do we have to give you our passwords?

Usually not. Wherever the platform allows it, we prefer delegated administrator access or a separate admin account that your business owns and can revoke at any time, so you stay in control of your credentials.

Why does our email keep going to spam?

The most common cause is missing or incorrect SPF, DKIM and DMARC records on your domain — mail providers increasingly junk unauthenticated mail. We audit those records, correct them for every service that sends as your domain, and re-test.

We're locked out of our email account — can you help?

Yes. Remote support covers sign-in and MFA problems, passkey setup and account recovery. Note that Microsoft is retiring SMS and voice sign-in codes for Microsoft 365 in phases starting September 2026 — see our client advisory if your team still signs in with texted codes.

Is Bay Geeks affiliated with Microsoft, Google or Proton?

No. Bay Geeks is an independent IT service provider, not a division or certified arm of any email vendor. That independence is the point: our recommendation is based on what fits your business, not on a sales quota.
