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/menu 

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/menu
-Click on Mail Manager 
-Select "New Address" on the left
-Enter the username 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

You can allow your users to change their own passwords without bothering you each time they would like to change them. Please see Chapter 22 for further details.
