How do I get a professional email address in Morocco?

A professional email address in Morocco is one in the format [email protected]—not a Gmail or Yahoo address. Customers are nine times more likely to choose a company that has one. This guide explains how to create your own professional email address in four steps, using the three solutions available from Nindohost: Nindomail, Google Workspace, and Microsoft 365.

Hajar is a freelance accountant in Casablanca. She works with about 20 clients and sends out quotes, financial statements, and contracts every week. From day one, she has been using a Gmail address she created in 2015: [email protected].

For a long time, she hadn’t given it a second thought. Her clients know her, they respond to her—it all works out. That is, until the day she submitted a bid for a small business in Rabat. The purchasing manager called her to explain, somewhat sheepishly, that her email address had been blocked by their company’s spam filter. Her quote had never reached them.

She lost the contract.

It wasn't that her work was bad. It was just that her email address unintentionally gave the impression that she wasn't serious, even before anyone had read a single line of what she had written.

A professional email address in Morocco doesn't cost much. But not having one can be very costly.

Prerequisite: You must have a domain name

Before you set up your business email address in Morocco, you'll need a domain name. That's the first step.

Your email address will be in the following format: [email protected]. To do this, you must own “yourdomain.ma.”

If you already have a website, you probably already have a domain name. Your email address will use that same domain name. If you don’t have one yet, this is the first step—and it’s a great opportunity to choose a .ma domain name, which strengthens your local presence and builds trust with Moroccan customers.
