Professional Email Standards for Export Sales Staff: Troubleshooting & Maintenance Guide
Maintaining Professional Email Standards for Export Sales
Export sales teams rely heavily on professional email communication to maintain client relationships and secure international deals. Using 138 Enterprise Email with custom domains ensures brand consistency and security, but requires adherence to specific standards and maintenance practices.
1. Ensuring Email Deliverability
Key Challenges:
- Emails landing in spam folders
- Bounced messages due to authentication failures
- Delayed delivery to certain regions
Actionable Solutions:

- Configure SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records properly (available in 138's admin portal)
- Keep attachment sizes below 25MB (138's documented limit)
- Monitor delivery status through the webmail 'Sent Items' folder
- Whitelist key client domains in the admin console
2. Security Best Practices
Essential Standards:
- Use strong passwords (minimum 8 characters with mixed types as recommended by 138)
- Enable two-step verification for all team members
- Regularly review login history in 'Account Security' settings
- Set up spoofing alerts for similar-looking domain names
Password Management:
- Administrators can reset user passwords via the 'Organization & Users' section
- Users can change their own passwords through 'Personal Settings'
- Password recovery options include mobile verification or admin assistance
3. Multi-Device Synchronization
Configuration Guidelines:
- Use IMAP protocol (not POP3) for mobile devices
- Set sync frequency to 'Push' or minimum 15-minute intervals
- Standardize email signatures across all devices
- Verify IMAP folder subscriptions regularly
Troubleshooting Flow:
- Check if missing emails appear in webmail
- Verify device sync settings
- Test with alternate client if issues persist
- Contact 138 support for unresolved problems
