 POP3
Mailboxes
Go Back
By
default, all the email addressed to your domain is forwarded
to the default mail forwarding address listed within your
Email Settings under your Control Panel. As such, email
addressed to anyone@yourdomain.com will be
forwarded to your "real" email address. An
alternative to having mail forwarded is to retrieve mail
from POP mailboxes. This means you can check your email
directly from our server, using an email program such as
Microsoft Outlook or Eudora.
You
can setup at least twenty
private POP accounts (the
Startup Plan includes 20 POP emails) for individual
mailboxes within "Email Settings" under your
Control Panel. For example, email addressed to sales@yourdomain.com
could be held in a private POP mailbox and be accessed with
a unique id and password.
Keep
in mind that an email address that is specified as a POP
email account, canNOT also be an email forwarder or an
autoresponder. Each email address can only be one of these
three types of settings.
Configuring
the POP Accounts within the Control Panel
Locate
the "POP Accounts" section in Email Settings. To
create a new POP account, enter the username of the new POP
account. For example, if you want email addressed to
webmaster@yourdomain.com to be held in a POP account, enter
the username "webmaster". Be sure to enter a
unique password for each new POP account as illustrated
below.
For
this example, the following settings would be used to access
the "webmaster" POP account:
|
POP
Account:
|
yourdomain.com
|
|
User
id:
|
webmaster
|
|
SMTP
Server:
|
[use
the SMTP server provided by your ISP]

-
The
User ID for the POP accounts is NOT necessarily the same
as your web hosting account userid. You need to assign
unique ids and passwords for access to the POP email
accounts to ensure privacy.
-
Do
NOT put www. before the domain name in your POP
settings.
-
Different
email programs may have particular methods of entering
the set up information, or it may appear slightly
different than what you see above. Please consult your
program documentation or the manufacturer for
assistance.
-
Your
current Internet connection provider should be able to
provide you with the correct SMTP/Outgoing Mail server
information. Please contact them directly for this
information.
-
Do not
remove the default mail forwarding address in Email
Settings.
