Creating New E-Mail Accounts
To
access your email accounts, you must type the URL
http://mail.yourdomain.xyz:8000 into your browser (where .xyz is your
domain extension such as .com). Make sure you include the "http://" - it
is required.
If
your domain does not yet point to us, please refer to your setup
email for a temporary URL to use. You will need to access your account
through this temporary URL until the domain name transfer has fully
propagated, after which time you will be able to access the accounts
through http://mail.yourdomain.xyz:8000.
To login to your master account, the UserID is always "root@yourdomain.xyz"
(no quotes). The password is supplied to you at account setup and is
usually the same as for FTP and FrontPage.

Once
you login, you will see the following screen. On the right, there will
be a dropdown box. You want to scoll down until you see the red
highlighted box "ADMIN OPTIONS." The important options are "User
Administration" and "Alias Administration" and
they are located toward the lower right of the dropdown menu. A "user"
is a mailbox on our system where mail is stored. An "alias" is a name
pointer that directs mail to a user account or forwards to an external
mail address. You have a fixed amount of users, but are allowed
unlimted aliases and forwards.
To create a user, click on "User Administration".

After
clicking on "User Administration", the screen below will pop up in your
browser.
Next click on Add.

Now input a UserID (this will be UserID@yourdomain.com)
and input a password and password confirmation. Also,
be sure to check the "Allow Web access" box. These are
the only required fields. Everything else is optional.
When you are finished, click Save to create the new user.

This
new user will now be able to login to the web interface the same way you
logged in with the root account, except using the UserID and password
you just set.. Only the root account can create users and aliases.
From our web interface, you can read and send mail with your newly
created accounts.
