  • Create, Edit or Delete email boxes and/or edit individual email box quotas.
  • Redirect or forward messages from one email box to another.
  • Create, Edit or Delete email groups.
  • Create, Edit or Delete email autoresponders.

 

Managing Your  Mail Names

When you create email accounts for yourself and/or other users of your Domain, you are creating email boxes which will be accessible via POP3 or IMAP protocols. Mailbox creation is as easy as keying in a name and password. Follow these simple steps to manage mail names:

  1. From the Client Home Page, click the domain name that you want to workwith from the list provided (if you have more than one Domain). The Domain Administration Page appears.
  2. Click the MAIL button. The Mail Names Management Page appears. From this page, you can:
    • Create a new mail name.
    • View a list of mail names currently existing under the specified domain. To the left of each domain name on the list there are four icons representing different mail account types. They are:
      • Mailbox  (represented by the "mailbox" icon)
      • Redirects  (represented by the "outgoing envelope" icon)
      • Mail Groups  (represented by the "people" icon)
      • Autoresponders (represented by the revolving envelope icon)

    • Click on a specific mail name for access to the Mail Name Properties Page for that given name.
    • Search the mail names list for a certain pattern. It may help you in case you have a great number of mail names in the system and you need to work with a particular one.  To search the list, type the pattern string in the text input field and click SUBMIT.
    • Sort the list by various parameters. To sort the list by a certain parameter in ascending or descending order, click on the name of the parameter. An arrow will appear indicating the order of sorting: down for descending order, up for ascending.
    • Delete mail  names. To remove one or more mail names, check the check boxes in the Del column of the mail names list corresponding to the mail names you wish to remove and click REMOVE SELECTED. The Mail Names Removal Page appears. There you will need to either confirm the removal (check the checkbox and click SUBMIT) or CANCEL it
    • To create a new mail name, click in the Mail Name text box provided and enter the desired name. Click ADD to submit this name. You then access the MailName Properties  Page, where you can adjust the Mail Name properties.
    • The new mail name appears on the mail names list.

    NOTE: The four icons to the left of each mail name are faded (grayed out) when they are inactive. The icons appear in color when active. To change the activation settings, you must click on a given mail name. The Mail Name Properties Page displays.  From here,you can enable any of the features.
