| SETTING UP YOUR E-MAIL
ACCOUNTS Enter your account Control Panel and click on the Mail Manager link. Once you are in the Mail Manager, you will notice that you already have a default mailbox and also a mailbox with your username that was setup with the account. The default box acts as a catchall box and it is automatically set up to forward to the mailbox with your username. If you do not wish to use the mailbox with your username, you can delete this address by clicking on the link for this address on the left side of the screen. Once you do this, you will also need to do one of two things, either setup a new mailbox and have your default mail forwarding to that box, or enter the default box through the link to it on the left and set that box to Bounce Default e-mail (i.e. reject all e-mail that does not have an address.) NOTE: The default mailbox is setup to get all e-mail addressed to all_addresses@yourdomain.com that do not have mailboxes setup for them. For example, you use marc@yourdomain.com and someone sends an e-mail to mark@yourdomain.com. This message would be forwarded to the default box. To add a new e-mail address:
Set up your e-mail client to retrieve the e-mail from the addresses that you just created. While there are a large number of e-mail clients available for you to use, we have screen shots for a few of the more popular programs for your assistance. Please click on the link to the right for the e-mail client that you are using. You will need the username and password for the e-mail account that you just setup. If your ISP offers access to their SMTP server you should choose that for your "SMTP Server" in your mail program settings - it's more efficient and faster than using ours. If your ISP does not permit that, then use "mail.yourdomain.com" as both incoming and outgoing (SMTP) server.
When you create or edit a mailbox you'll see this screen. You can forward email to an ISP account (recommended,) save mail on the server for downloading, and create auto-responders.
