POP Mail Accounts

How do I setup new email accounts?

Go to http://mail.(yourdomain).com:8383 and type “admin@(yourdomain).com” in the UserID box. Put your password in the password box. The default password is “admin”. You should change this IMMEDIATELY. Once you are logged into Imail as the Administrator, you will see “User Adminstration” on the lower right hand side. Once you click this button, you will see a list of current users, and a button to “Add”. Click the “Add” button, and fill in the blanks. Leave the mailbox size and max messages blank to allow unlimited box size. If you enter a number in these, keep in mind that it’s in ‘bytes’, not MegaBytes. Make sure you check “Allow Web Access” so you can access them through your webbrowser.

How do I setup an alias and what is it?

An alias is a nickname for a real email account. You use aliases to create several email addresses that all point to the same mailbox. To create an alias, login as Administrator (admin@yourdomain.com). Click “Alias Administration” on the lower right hand side. Then click “Add”. Make sure that in the Desination box you enter an email address of a USER, not another ALIAS. The address should be entered in user@domain.com format.

How do I setup an email account that receives all email @mydomain.com?

Have you ever sent an email to the wrong address because you made a typo? Did you get a response back saying that your email couldn’t go?

A catch-all alias will ensure that any email sent to your domain will be received, even if the email was sent to a non-existant user. In Imail, setting this up is simple. Just create an Alias and name the Alias “nobody”. Do not create an email account called “nobody”. Then enter the email address you would like all the mail to go to.
