Setting
Up Your Email
Your email
settings are configured in the web control
panel. To access
the control panel, type the following web site address into your web
browser: www.domain.com/siteadmin - Replace
domain.com with your own domain name. You will be prompted for your username and
password before you can proceed.
| Configuring
Your E-Mail Addresses |
By default, all email for your domain name
is controlled by the existing user usually called Site Admin. We recommend
that you do not delete this account, otherwise you will lose access to
your domain name if you do not have another user setup correctly. Most
domain names who are used by one person do not add additional accounts as
anything infront of the domain name will reach the default user i.e.
joebloggs@domain.com

| To add a
new user, complete the form. Please take note of the username and
password you have chosen and tick the site administrator box if they
require access to make changes to your web site (using FTP or
FrontPage extensions). Users with administrator access have a green
crown icon in the site management window.
In the email aliases box, enter
'@domainname.com' if you would like 'anything@domain.com' (all mail)
to forward to the user. If you have multiple users, do not have an
account that forwards all mail. To forward specific email aliases to
the account you can add names followed by the enter key. i.e.
bob
harry

To add
a forwarding email address for a user, type in an email address in
the Forward Email To field. If the field is left blank, the
user can collect mail directly off our mail server by entering the
login and password in an email program (such as Microsoft Outlook
Express) and using 'mail.yourdomain.com' as the POP mail server
name. If an email address is entered, then email will automatically
for the user. Please use your (ISP's) Internet Service Provider's
SMTP server as ours is disabled for security reasons.
You can add/modify the email aliases
for the user in the email aliases field as required.
If you tick the Vacation Message
box, the automatic response message will be sent to anyone who sends
an email to this user. |
