Mail Manager and Mail Lists
MAIL MANAGER:
You can access
your Mail Manager by going to your Control Panel:
http://www.yourdomainname.com/cpanel
Inside this
area you can setup all of your email items...like auto-responders,
forwarded mail, and pop accounts.
Once you've
accessed your Control Panel, click on Mail Manager and then click
on the email account you wish to edit. This area is self-explanatory
but we've included instructions below.
How to Add Email
Accounts and Email Aliases
To receive email, your domain registration or transfer should be
complete. You will know it's complete if you can access www.your-domain/cpanel
To add an email
account:
(An email account gives you a unique email address. If you add an
account called JOHN, then JOHN@yourdomain.com will have a unique
mailbox.)
-Go to your
Control Panel at www.yourdomain.com/cpanel
-Click on Mail Manager
-Select "New Address" on the bottom
-Enter the username, password and click "Add"
-That user has been added. To check email for that user, see Setting
up a Mail Program
To Add an Email
Alias
(If your primary account is JOHN@yourdomain.com but you also want
to receive email at JOHNSMITH@yourdomain.com, then you add an alias
for JOHNSMITH to forward to JOHN)
We assume you
have already created a primary account such as JOHN
Next, follow the instructions in the section above for adding a
new account
After adding the new second account such a JOHNSMITH, click on that
account name on the left side of your screen
Check both boxes as shown below if you want to have 2 copies of
the email, one in the original email box, and one forwarded to the
primary account. If you don't need 2 copies, you don't need to check
the first box.
Select the Primary user who should receive the email for this alias
Now anything sent to JOHNSMITH@yourdomain.com will be forwarded
to JOHN@yourdomain.com
Other Forwarding Options
There are many
options for forwarding mail. For example, you could setup forwarding
as:
box1 --->
box1, box2 (both boxes get a copy)
or
box1 ---> box1, box2, box@aol.com
or
box1 --> box2, box3
Special restrictions:
If you setup box1 to forward to an outside address, such as box@aol.com
and a box within your domain such as box2, you must include box1
also:
YES: box1 --->
box1, box2, box@aol.com
NO: box1 --> box2, box@aol.com (must include box1)
In addition,
you can't have double forwarding:
NO: box1 -->box2
---> box3
YES: box1 --> box2, box3
You can allow
your users to change their own passwords without bothering you each
time they would like to change them.
