Mail
Manager
Mail
Manger is used to create new e-mail accounts,
e-mail forwarding, and autoresponders for your domain,
and can be accessed from within your control panel.
Below is a screen shot of what you will see
when you first enter your Mail Manager. You will
initially see two email accounts, one named your
username and one named default. These were
created by the system and the default
e-mail should not be deleted.
Creating
New Pop3 Accounts
To
create a new Pop3 Email account simply click on
the "New Address" link located under
your default accounts and you will be taken to
the following screen. The username should be
JUST the first part of the e-mail account.
For example, if you want to set up an account
for julie@juliesworld.com, your username would
be julie.
Change
Password
To
change the password for an email account, simply
click on the pop3 account you wish to change the
password for and you will be taken to the
following screen. Input your new password
as indicated by the instructions in red.
Delete
A Pop3 Email Account
To
delete one of your Pop3 email accounts, simply
click on the address you want to delete and then
click on the delete link as indicated in the
screenshot below. You will be asked to confirm
deletion, simply click yes and the account will
be removed.
Forwarding
Email
You
can forward email coming to any of your Pop3
accounts that you have created to another
account you have created or to an account
outside of your domain by simply clicking on the
email account that you want to forward. You will
be taken to the the same screen where you change
the password and delete the account. Below those
areas you will see the following part of the
screen and you will see a list of the email
accounts that you have created, simply click on
the account where you want to forward the email
to or you can move further down the screen and
type in the email address located outside of
your domain where you would like the email to be
forwarded to.
Once
you've made your choices, just be sure to scroll
to the bottom of the screen and click the save
button to save your changes.
Note:
You cannot double forward accounts. For
instance, if you want your e-mail account for
support@yourdomain.com to go to julie@yourdomain.com,
you cannot then forward julie@yourdomain.com to
any other e-mail address.
Autoresponders
An
autoresponder is an e-mail message that is
automatically sent back to the person that sent
you e-mail. Autoresponders are generally
used to provide sales information, thank you
notes, or confirmation that an e-mail was
received.
You
can create an autoresponder for any Pop3 email
account that you have listed in your Mail
Manager. Simply click the email account that you
want to create an autoresponder for and you will
be taken to the same screen that you Change
Password, Delete, or choose Forwarding Options
for that email account. Scroll to the bottom
section of that screen and you will see the
following box. Click the box to indicate you are
including an autoresponse and then type in your
response for the autoresponder. Be sure to
save your changes.
Email
Aliases
You
never have to create email aliases. Your default
email account is setup as a "Catch
All" account, meaning that any email coming
to anything@yourdomain.com is delivered to your
default account. Therefore, you should set
your default account to forward to the main
e-mail account that you will be using. If
you do NOT wish to accept defaulted e-mail on
your domain, you can change the settings.
Click on the Default e-mail from your list of
e-mail accounts, and choose Bounce Default
Email (i.e. reject all email that does not have
an address above.) This is an effective
way to prevent spam from coming through your
domain. Basically, if someone does not
specifically address the e-mail to a valid
e-mail account on your domain, the e-mail will
be bounced back.
