Setting Up Email Addresses
If you have a registered domain name you can create email addresses via the control panel. See more about domain names .
Once you have a domain name registered for your website a new icon will appear on your control panel home page as well as a link in the main left hand control panel navigation.
How To Get There
The email management page is divided into two sections. The top half allows you to login to your webmail and the bottom half of the page is where you create and manage your email accounts, change passwords, set auto responders (mail robots) and forward mail to other accounts.
Before you can start emailing you'll need to setup an account, so that's where we'll start. Click on the Manage My Email Accounts link. You should arrive at the main email management menu. From here you can do just about anything (email related).
To setup a new account click on the New Email Account link.
To set up a new email account fill in the form displayed on the next screen. You need to enter a unique username (one you haven't used before). Choose a password, enter the name to be displayed when sending mail (Real name) and tick the Spam Detection box and you're done!
Managing Email Accounts
To view all the email accounts associated with your domain name, or to modify an existing account, click on the Email Accounts link located within the Email Management main menu. Find out how to get there
The next screen is where you can edit or remove existing accounts. You can also setup vacation messages, change passwords and forward mail from one account to another.
You can also setup a CatchAll Account for your domain which effectively catches any mail that is addressed to your domain but does not specify a username that exists (eg. spam_me@mydomain.com). A word of caution here, CatchAll Accounts tend to collect a lot of spam.
To modify an account click on the Modify User icon.
Change any details associated with the account via the form which is displayed. You can forward mail sent to the account by selecting the Forward To radio button and entering an email address. This feature is might be useful when you go on holidays or plan to be away from your email for an extended period.
You can also set a Vacation message that will automatically respond to any mail sent to the account. This is a handy to let people know you are away. Enter a subject and message for replies.
Don't forget to save any changes by clicking on the Modify User button at the bottom of the screen.
