Setting Up Your Email Top

The first step in setting up your email accounts is to go into your control panel (your welcome letter gives you a link to your control panel). Once in your control panel, click on the Mail Manager icon. There you will setup your email accounts.

To add an account just click "New Address" and put in the email account name (i.e. "sales" for sales@yourdomain.com), and put in a password for that email account. Then edit the settings for the new account.

These are the ways that you can edit each email account in the Mail Manager in the Control Panel:

Have your email sit on our servers and use your email software to pull the email off our servers using your email software (ie Outlook, Netscape etc.) or Web Based Email. (Just check the box that says "Forward email addressed to emailaddress@yourdomain.com to the email address mailbox on the yourdomain.com server.")

Have your email forwarded to another email account under your account i.e. anotheremailaddress@yourdomain.com. (Just check the box that says "Forward email addressed to emailaddress@yourdomain.com to other address(es) within yourdomain.com and check the boxes next to the email address that you want to forward the email to).

Have the email from one account be forwarded to another account that you have under your domain. (Just check the box that says " Forward email addressed to emailaddress@yourdomain.com to address(es) outside your domain (e.g. yourname@aol.com) and list the email address(es) that you want to forward the email to).

Autoresponder: If you want an autoresponder on this email account, just check the box in front of autoresponder, and fill in the text that you want to go to each person who sends email to this address.


The main benefit of using POP3 email is your mail address will be the same whether incoming or outgoing. If you were just to forward your mail to your AOL address, for example, then your outgoing mail would be you@aol.com. But if you use Microsoft. Outlook. to compose your mail (or another email software package), then your incoming and outgoing mail address will be identical (you@yourdmain.com).

After setting up your email in the 'Mail Manager', there are 2 options for accessing your email accounts:

(1) Use your Email Software (ie Outlook Express) If you want to access your email directly from our servers, see the instructions below on how to setup your email software.

or

(2) use the Web Based Email system located here: http://yourdomain.com/up (ie just put /up after your domain name in your browser). It will ask you for a username and password. The username is the email address that you setup in the Mail Manager above. The password is the password you gave it in the Mail Manager. There is a manual on the first page of your Web Mail that is very useful as well.
