Help tool for hosted email and Skype for Business

Rackspace provides a self-service help tool to assist with the configuration of mobile
devices, email clients, and Skype for Business®. You can log in to the help tool at
emailhelp.rackspace.com with your Rackspace email
address and password. The help tool provides step-by-step instructions for your specific
server configuration.

Note to administrators: You can streamline the process of configuring a client or
device for Exchange® or Skype for Business by setting a DNS record for your domain
that points to the Rackspace auto-discover server. For more information about auto-discover,
see Set up DNS records for email and Skype for Business.

The help tool provides setup instructions for the following services on specific clients and devices:

  • Hosted Rackspace Email with IMAP using SSL
  • Hosted Exchange 2010 and 2013
  • Skype for Business

If your domain is on Hosted Exchange 2007, the help tool does not provide setup instructions.
