Editing
E-mail Accounts
E-mail accounts
can be set up to forward to other mail accounts or to have automatic responses
generated when mail is received by the original account. Additionally, Mail
Manager allows you to delete e-mail accounts as well as change passwords for
e-mail accounts.
Note:
The Mail Manager Change Password tool is different from the Change Password
Option that is available from the Control Panel. This Mail Manager tool affects
only the password for the e-mail addresses specified. The Control Panel Option
affects the password for your account.
How To Edit
an Existing E-mail Account:
- From the Mail
Manager, select the desired e-mail account listed under the heading Addresses
on the left-hand side of the screen. The Mailbox Options page displays for
the specified e-mail account.
-
The Change Password
and Delete options are described in detail in the procedures that follow. Other
options on this page deal with forwarding e-mail that is received by this account
to other accounts. These options are explained here:
- Forwarding the e-mail sent to the original address to the same address
on the specified server. This is for normal mail processing and is the
default setting.
- Forwarding the e-mail sent to this address to another address on the
same, specified server. If you select this option, you must also select
the address (es) from the list of possible e-mail accounts on the server
to which you would like to have the e-mail forwarded.
- Forwarding the e-mail sent to this address to another address on a
different server. If you select this option, you must manually type the
e-mail address to which you are having mail forwarded in the text entry
box provided. This would be used if you had an existing account with
another service to which you would like your mail forwarded.
- After selecting
the appropriate mail forwarding option, you may also manually type text
in the auto-response text entry box. If you choose this, be sure to select
the Autoresponse for mail to… option. Any text you type in the space provided
will automatically be sent to anyone who sends e-mail to the address you
are currently editing.
- After all edits
are completed, click on the Save button to apply the changes to the account.
The message "Done" appears on your screen.
- To return to
the Mail Manager home, select the Home link. If you would like to return
to the main Control Panel page, select the Control Panel link located in
the upper right corner of the top frame.

Sending
and Receiving Mail
Sending and receiving
mail is not executed in the Control Panel. The mail tools and utilities available
in the Control Panel are merely ways of setting up mail accounts and lists
on the server on which your account resides.
To send or receive
mail, use your normal mail client configured to retrieve mail from, and send
mail through, your domain mail account.
For detailed instructions
on how to set up your mail client software, visit our Email
Setup Section.
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]
