# Getting started

Four steps separate an order from a team reading its mail. Allow around fifteen minutes if your domain name is already managed by Simafri.

## 1. Choose a storage plan

The plans and their prices are on the [Simafri Suite page](https://www.simafri.com/en/suite/). The plan belongs to the **account**: it is shared by all your addresses, and the number of users is unlimited. A middle plan comfortably covers a team of around ten people.

The order is paid online, and your storage opens as soon as the payment goes through.

:::tip You have a Serenity by Simafri website A Simafri Suite account is already included in your subscription, with its plan and as many addresses as you like. Go straight to step 3. :::

## 2. Open mail routing

For mail to reach your domain name, four DNS records have to point to it: **MX**, **SPF**, **DKIM** and **DMARC**.

* **Your domain is managed by Simafri**: all four are written for you, mail delivery opens, and you have nothing to do.
* **Your domain is elsewhere**: your client area, **Simafri Suite** section, shows the exact lines to add at your DNS host, then checks them. Delivery opens as soon as the check passes.

The status of each domain stays on that screen, with whatever is still missing.

## 3. Create your team's addresses

From [my.simafri.com](https://my.simafri.com/), **Simafri Suite** section:

1. enter the **work address** to create, for example `marie@yourcompany.com`;
2. enter the person's **personal address**: that is where their invitation goes;
3. confirm.

The person receives their invitation and **chooses their own password**. No password goes through you, and nobody can read their mail in their place.

There is no plan to choose per address: every mailbox draws on the account's reserve.

## 4. Sign in and install the app

Each person opens [suite.simafri.com](https://suite.simafri.com/) and signs in with their Simafri identity.

On a phone, add the suite to the home screen to open it like an app:

* **iPhone and iPad**: Share button, then "Add to Home Screen". Open the suite from that icon, then turn on notifications in **Mail settings**.
* **Android**: browser menu, then "Install app".

Notifications carry the sender and the subject, and arrive with the phone locked.

## Who sees what

| Role               | What it opens                                          |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Account holder** | the suite, the team's addresses, the plans and billing |
| **Team member**    | their mailbox, calendar, contacts and files            |

A mailbox belongs to the company: the account holder decides who reads it, and every change is written on the mailbox screen, visible to the people concerned.
