| 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:
- Select Mail Info in the Mail Info menu.
- 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.
