General
Setup
Mail programs vary in the
way you setup preferences and options. Remember your POP3
account is the account name you specify in your Mail Manager
and your incoming POP3 server is always yourdomain.com
(or your IP if you have an IP account)
You create/delete/edit e-mail
usernames and e-mail passwords at the Mail Manager through
your web browser at http://yourdomain.com/cpanel. Note: Your
e-mail username/password is not necessarily the same as your
web hosting account username/password.
You can use our Web-Based
Email Program, NeoMail at http://yourdomain.com/webmail/
(be sure to add the last slash '/')
This web-based program is a simple sender/receiver and means
you can reach your mail from any internet enabled computer.
It's easy to set up from your Control Panel.
OR
You can use one of thepopular
mail clients - Eudora, Netscape Messenger or Microsoft
Outlook. Find set up information for these programs from
the Support main page.
E-Mail Setup:
Incoming Mail (POP3): yourdomain.com
Outgoing Mail (SMTP): mail.yourdomain.com
OR use the e-mail account you have with your ISP, for
example if your provider is EarthLink, it will look like this:
mail.earthlink.net, This will not affect your e-mail address,
just the outgoing server it is sent through, no one can see
the difference.
POP3 Account Username:
This will be the e-mail account name (i.e. 'webmaster'
or 'support') you create through your mail manager
in your control panel, note this will not always be
the same as your control panel login and password, this can
be different and changed through the mail manager in seconds.
All mail by default (any-name@yourdomain.com)
will automatically be forwarded to your main account, or to
an account of your choice, so it's not necessary to create
separate mailboxes for different accounts unless they are
assigned to different people. Additional accounts can be created,
edited, deleted from the mail manager interface. Note, you
can setup different passwords from your mail manager for each
e-mail account.

Using
the mail manager
Adding / Removing POP
Email Accounts
To create a new pop email
account click on the Add/Remove accounts icon. You
will be taken to a new screen.
Type the username you want
in the Email box, and the password you choose for this account
in the Password box. Click Create and your new account will
be activated.
In order to receive mail
sent to this address, you must set up the new account in the
program you use for email. For example, if you access your
email through your browser, you need to add this account to
your browser's email program.
New accounts are added to
email programs in various ways. If you are unfamiliar with
how your email program works, you will need to access the
support files for information on your particular program.
However, most programs will
ask you for a username and two services. One service will
be POP3 and the other is usually SMTP.
Type in the username that
you chose for your new account. Type your domain name where
it asks for your POP3 account. For example, yourdomain.com.
Do not add your username in the POP3 box, just the domain
name as illustrated.
SMTP is your ISP - the service
you use to send email. You cannot send email from the server
that your domain is installed on. You can only receive mail
through your domain server. Most programs just want you to
type the domain name of your ISP, which is the last part of
your email address: yourISP.com, where your email address
is yourname@yourISP.com.
These are typical instructions
for setting up a new email account. Your program may require
something different. It is not possible for us to provide
instructions for every possible configuration, nor provide
support for your individual software. If you have problems,
please contact your software provider for support.
To delete a pop account,
click on Click Here To Delete Account, choose the address
you want to delete from the drop down menu, and click the
Delete button.
Default E-Mail Account
Click this link to set the
default email account. Your default email account is your
"Catch All" email account. Any mail addressed to
your domain that does not have an individual account set up
for it will automatically go to this address.
You can change the username
portion of your default address. Just click on Click Here
to Change Default Address and type in the newaddress. Type
the entire address: yourname@yourdomain.com. Then click
Change.
Make sure you are using an
account that actually exists. If the account doesn't exist,
set it up using the Pop Email Accounts feature.
Autoresponders
Auto-responders will automatically
send an email for you. Autoresponsers are typically used to
send information in response to a visitor's request.
For example, visitors can
click on a link that says Click Here to Receive Special Report.
When the visitor clicks on the link, their email program will
open a new message addressed to your autoresponder. When they
send the email, your autoresponder will reply by automatically
sending your Special Report to the visitor.
To create an Autoresponder,
just click on Click Here To Add AutoResponder.
Block or Bounce Unwanted
Email
You can block unwanted email
according to email address, subject, any header, recipient,
or even phrases inside the body of the message.
Just use the drop down menus
to choose what you want blocked. For example, you might want
to filter out porn sites. You could choose Subject, Body or
Any Header from the first drop down menu, and Contains from
the second drop down menu. Then type a phrase or word that
frequently appears in the header or body of email you receive
that promotes porn sites.
To block email from a specific
source, just choose From in the first drop down menu, then
Equals from the second menu. Type in the person's email address
in the box and click Activate.
Email Forwarding
You can have any or all email
addressed to your domain account forwarded to an outside email
account or to a different email address within your domain.
Simply type the username
of the address you want mail forwarded from in the first window,
and the complete email address you want the mail forwarded
to in the second window.
Remember, you can forward
mail to any address, inside or outside of your domain. For
example: yourmail@aol.com or yourmail@yourdomain.com.
To stop forwarding mail,
simply choose the address you want to stop from being forwarded,
and click on delete.
Email Aliases
You never have to create
email aliases. Your default email account is setup as a "Catch
All" account, meaning that any email coming to anything@yourdomain.com
is delivered to your default account.
