Use "eFax Corporate by Email"

 

eFax Corporate by Email is a convenient feature that lets eFax Corporate users send and/or receive faxes via an external email account (NOTE: The email account that is used is your Contact Email shown on your My Account > Profile tab; see . You'll still need to occasionally log into eFax Corporate "My Account" to manage your account and set preferences; but if you just need to receive or send faxes, an email account is a great alternative.

Receive a Fax by Email

When someone sends a fax to your eFax Corporate number, it arrives in your external email's inbox attached to an email from eFax Corporate. (NOTE: A copy is also sent to your Message Center in your eFax Corporate account. See View a Received Fax.) To retrieve it:

  1. Log into your email account.
  2. Find and open the email message from eFax Corporate [message@inbound.eFax Corporate.com].
  3. Click the attachment to open the fax.

Note: The default file format for delivered faxes is Adobe PDF (free Adobe Reader software is available at http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions). However, you can change the format toTIF via Update Account Preferences.) .

Send a Fax by Email

You can send a fax—from any standard email program or by using a web-based email service like Yahoo! Mail or Gmail—and attach files that you want to fax (which will appear in the email in the order that you attached them).

To send a fax via an email account:

  1. Open your email program or service, and create a new email message
  2. In the To field: Enter the recipient’s fax number (formatted as shown below; can add up to 1,000 recipients), followed by @efaxsend.com. For example:
    • To send to a US number such as +1 323 555 1234, you would type 13235551234@efaxsend.com, where 1 equals the country code; 323, the area code; and 5551234, the fax number.
    • To send to a UK number such as +44 (0)20 7555 1234, you would type 442075551234@efaxsend.com, where 44 equals the country code; 207, the area code; and 5551234, the fax number.
  1. Attach the files (up to 10; 20MB max) you want to fax with your outgoing email message (unless you choose to use [attach] your own cover page—then you can only attach 9 more files; see the NOTE in the next step).
  2. To include a cover page: Type the cover-page text in the body of the email message. (NOTE: If you want to use your own cover page, see Add Cover Pages to Faxes.)
  1. Send the email.
