Email Setup

How to setup email with your website
Enter your account Control Panel and click on the Mail Manager link.

Once you are in the Mail Manager, you will notice that you already have a default mailbox and also a mailbox with your username that was setup with the account.

The default box acts as a catch-all box and it is automatically set up to forward to the mailbox with your username. If you do not wish to use the mailbox with your username, you can delete this address by clicking on the link for this address on the left side of the screen.

Once you do this, you will also need to do one of two things, either setup a new mailbox and have your default mail forwarding to that box, or enter the default box through the link to it on the left and set that box to Bounce Default e-mail (i.e. reject all e-mail that does not have an address.)

NOTE: The default mailbox is setup to get all e-mail addressed to all_addresses@yourdomain.com that do not have mailboxes setup for them. For example, you use marc@yourdomain.com and someone sends an e-mail to mark@yourdomain.com. This message would be forwarded to the default box. To add a new e-mail address:

Click on the New Address link on the left-hand side of the page.
Enter a username for the account. This will be the e-mail address without the @yourdomain.com.
Setup a password for the specific e-mail address. This can be whatever you would like it to be.
When you are finished, be sure to click Save.

Set up your e-mail client to retrieve the e-mail from the addresses that you just created.

While there are a large number of e-mail clients available for you to use, we have screen shots for a few of the more popular programs for your assistance. Please click on the link at the top for the e-mail client that you are using. You will need the username and password for the e-mail account that you just setup.

Use "mail. yourdomain.com " as both incoming and outgoing (SMTP) server. For example, if your domain name is designcompany.ca, then your mail server names would both be mail.designcompany.ca .

Creating Aliases - Forwarding Email

You can use mail manager to set up mailboxes, create aliases (box1 sends directly to box2), and even forward mail off our server to be received somewhere else (like box@aol.com).

But there is one important exception:
Using mail manager, you can set up any of the following:
['--->' means 'forwards to']

box1 ---> box1
box1 ---> box1, box2 [both boxes get a copy]
box1 ---> box@aol.com
box1 ---> box1, box@aol.com
box1 ---> box2
box2 ---> box2, box@aol.com

BUT THIS PART WILL NOT WORK:

box1 -->box2 ---> box@aol.com [box1 forwards to box2, which forwards to box@aol.com]

You have to do this:

box1 --> box2, box@aol.com [box1 forwards to box2 and to box@aol.com]

Caution: We suggest you use autoresponders sparingly (when away, special notices, change of address) - autoresponder wars or loops occasionally happen that will run up your bandwidth usage. You are responsible for your bandwidth usage, and may be charged if your bandwidth goes beyond what your package is allowed.
