Mailboxes allow you to send, receive
and store e-mail messages. Here you can learn how
to:
Creating
a Mailbox
To add a new mailbox, do the following:
- On your control panel home page, click E-Mail.
- At the bottom of the page that appears, click
Add new mail resource:
-
-
Choose Mailbox from the
drop-down list and click Next
:
-
Agree with the charges, if any.
-
Enter the name and password
for the new mailbox and click Submit:
Note: IIf you want your mailbox
to work as forward and mail autoresponder at the
same time, you can give forward, mailbox and autoresponder
the same name within one mail domain. In this case,
your mailbox will forward all incoming email to
another address and send responses to senders.
Important: You get Postmaster
mailbox for free and you can neither delete it nor
change its quota. Webmaster is a regular
mailbox and it counts towards your total maiboxes.
This means, if you get 0 free mailboxes, you pay
for the Webmaster box, but you don't pay
for Postmaster.
Configuring
a Mailbox
To configure a mailbox, click the
Edit icon next to the name of the mailbox.
You will see the list of its properties on the right:
- Quota: change the quota for this specific
mailbox. Mailbox quota is not related to the
site disk space quota. To change your mail quota,
enter its new size in megabytes. From that moment
on you will be charged for the difference between
this new amount and the default free amount.
This charge will be added to the recurrent fee
at the beginning of each billing period.
- Catch All: if it's on, any email messages
sent to a nonexistent account on your domain
will go to this address.
Example: your mailbox webmaster@example.com
is marked as catch all. If someone sends
an email to support@example.com, which doesn't
exist, this particular message will arrive at
webmaster@example.com. If no account were marked
as catch all, this message would bounce
back to the sender with an error notification.
- Password: click
the icon to change the mailbox password.
- Autoresponder: set your mailbox to
respond to the sender of incoming mail with
a preset message. You need to compose a separate
response message for every mailbox. Note:
in version 2.3 and higher, autoresponder is
an independant mail resource. (For details see
below)
- WebMail: go to the web e-mail client
to send or receive e-mail messages.
- Discard all incoming mail: turn this
ON only if you are absolutely sure you don't
need ALL your incoming mail. You can also turn
it on when you are going on vacation. Senders
won't receive 'underlivered mail' notices.
- Delete: delete the mailbox. To delete
a Catch All mailbox, first switch Catch
All OFF.
- Trouble Ticket: report troubles with
the mailbox.
Autoresponders
Autoresponder is a mailbox attribute.
Whenever a message arrives in a mailbox, the system
immediately sends a uniform response back to the
sender. More
