Creating
email users using WebMail
To
create an email account on your account, you must type the URL
http://mail.yourdomain.com:8383 or http://yourIPaddress:8383 in your
browser. It is crucial that you include the http:// .
Also, for new accounts you must use the IP address until your domain
name transfer completes.
To
create an email user, logon to the WebMail Server.
Click on the User
Administration option from the drop down menu located on the top
right hand side of your screen.
The
important options are "User Administration"
and "Alias Administration" and they are
located toward the lower right side of the screen. A
"user" is a mailbox on our system where mail is stored.
An "alias" is a name pointer that directs mail to a user
account or forwards to an external mail address. You have
unlimited amount of users, aliases and forwards.
To
create a user, click on "User Administration".
Next
click on Add.
Now
input a UserID
(this will be userid@yourdomain.com) and input a password
and password confirmation. Also, be sure to check
the "Allow Web access" box. These are the
only required fields. Everything else is optional.
When you are finished, click Save to create the new user.
This
new user will now be able to login to the web interface the same way
you logged in with the root account. Only the root account can
create users and aliases. From our web interface, you can read
and send mail with your newly created accounts.
