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:
In version 2.3 and higher, if 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 >>
Use this form to compose an autoresponse:
Send
a Copy To: the optional e-mail address to which copies
of response messages will be e-mailed.
Subject:
the subject of the response message, e.g. receipt confirmation.
Message:
the body of the response message, e.g. Your message
was received. Thank you.
