E-mail Accounts

E-mail Set-up | Default E-mail | AutoResponders | Forwarders

E-mail Set-up You can set up as many POP (Post Office Protocol) e-mail accounts as you require, up to the maximum limit set for your hosting account. Each one of these is in the standard e-mail formation of address@yourdomain.com. As with your default e-mail address, you can access these accounts through web mail or through your own e-mail application (ie. Outlook Express).

Click on the Add/Remove Accounts link in the Mail area.
2. Click on the Add Account link.
3. Enter the first part of the e-mail address and the password for the account in E-mail and Password fields.
4. Enter the maximum size limit of this mailbox in the Quota field, if required. The size limit is in megabytes. Not entering a number means that the mailbox size is only limited by the available disk space.
5. Click on the Create button.

Setting your default e-mail address Any e-mail that is sent to an unknown account at your domain name, such as unknown@yourdomain.com, gets automatically rerouted to your default e-mail account. All web site accounts are automatically assigned a default e-mail address - user@yourdomain.com - which you can change, if required.

Click on the Default Address link in the Mail area.
2. Click on the Set Default Address link.
3. Enter the complete e-mail address of the new default in the field next to your web site name drop-down list.
Note: You can enter :blackhole: to throw away all incoming mail, or :fail: no such address here to bounce the e-mail back to the sender.
4. Click on the Change button. Your new default e-mail address has now been set.

Autoresponders Autoresponders are e-mail messages that are sent automatically when an e-mail arrives for a specific e-mail account. Autoresponders are most commonly used for an "Out of Office" style message to inform your correspondents that you are not available, without you having to reply manually. You can have more than one autoresponder on one account. You can use plain text or include HTML code in the autoresponder, and choose from a wide variety of character sets.

Click on the Autoresponders link in the Mail area.
2. Click on the Add Autoresponder link.
3. Enter the address of the account that the autoresponder responds to in the Email field. 4. Enter your name or address in the From field. You do not have to put anything in this field.
5. Enter the subject line of the autoresponder in the Subject field.
6. Click on the required character set for this autoresponder from the Character Set drop-down list, if required.
7. Click on the HTML Message tick box if you want to include HTML code in the autoresponder.
8. Enter the autoresponder message in the Body field. You can not use HTML code in this field - plain text only.
9. Click on the Create button.
