Setting Up POP3 Email Boxes

Once you have a domain registered, you are able to set up email addresses for the domain. A POP3 email address is a 'standard' email address, like one that you may already have with your ISP. This will allow you to create an address on your domain (e.g. sales@domain.co.uk), which you can pick up from anywhere in the world. To set up a POP3 email address on a domain, you will first need to go to the email section of the control panel. This can be done by clicking the 'e-mail' link from the control panel menu. From here you will a number of different options: Add New Mailbox Add New Forwarder To set up a new pop box you will need to select the first option, 'Add New Mailbox'. This will take you to a sub-screen that will allow you to configure this new pop box. From here you will need to fill in the 'ID' of the email address, and the password. The ID is the prefix of the email address (e.g. An ID of 'sales, would make an address sales@domain.co.uk). Once you have filled in the screen then click 'Save'. From this point the email address that you have created will be active on our system. To find out how to use this email address, see How to Configure Outlook Express for Internet Mail

Mail Server Settings (POP3 host address etc)

POP3 Host Address: mail.<your domain name> SMTP Host Address: smtp.<your domain name> Note: If you are not going through our dial up service, then you will need to use your ISP's SMTP server. Username : The FULL email address that you are picking up from (e.g. sales@yourdomain.co.uk). If your email client cannot accept an @ symbol, then you may replace this with a backslash '\'. Password: This will be as you have set up in your control panel.

Setting Up An Alias/Forwarder

An Email Alias address is an email address that can receive emails, but it does not work in the same way as a standard POP3 box. An alias will purely receive an email, and then forward it on to another designated address. An alias cannot have auto responders attached to them, or any other special feature. If you needed anything apart from forwarding, then a POP3 box would be a better choice. To setup an Email Alias you will first need to go to the email section of the control panel. This can be done by clicking the 'e-mail' link from the control panel menu. To create an alias you should click the 'Add New Forwarder' button. This will take you to a sub-screen that will allow you to configure this new alias. From here you will be asked for the 'Alias ID', and a 'Destination'.  The 'Alias ID' is the prefix of the email address (e.g. An ID of 'sales, would make an address sales@domain.co.uk). The 'Destination' is the address that you want the emails forwarded to. If you want the email forwarded to more than one address, then you can add up to four destination, each on a new line. Once you have filled in this page, click 'Save'. Nobody Alias It is possible to set up an Email Alias that collects all emails that are not caught by other addresses on the domain. This is done by creating an alias with an 'Alias ID' of 'nobody'. This alias will collect all emails that are not recognized by any other email address on the domain, and forward them to the destination. A common use of the Nobody Alias is to allow emails to anything@<your domain name>. This can be useful when people emailing you may make spelling mistakes in the address, or so you can receive from multiple address in one place.
