To set up an e-mail account for ANY domain follow these steps:
- Log into your CPanel
- Click on the mail icon
- The first option is List/Add/Remove POP Email Accounts, select this option
- At the bottom of this is ADD ACCOUNT, click here
- This will bring you to a screen that askes for an e-mail name with a drop down list ie (somename@any_domain_you_choose.com)
- Select the domain you want the e-mail associated with
- Select a password for this account (This will be associated only with this email account)
- Select the quota or leave at 100 meg default
- Click on create
After the e-mail account is created you can repeat steps 3 - 9 for each additional email account you would like to add to your hosting account.
After you have all the accounts set up you can check the email accounts 1 of 2 ways:
1) Outlook / Outlook Express
- Open Outlook express
- Create an account under tools -> Accounts -> new -> Mail
- Follow wizard
- When asked for POP and SMTP servers they are mail.YOURDOMAIN.com for both Incoming and Outgoing
- *YOURDOMAIN* = whatever the MAIN domain is of the account
- Username is the SAME as the e-mail address (i.e. name@domain.com) the whole thing not just the name
- Click finish, if you get an SMTP error try using your ISP's SMTP server name (if you have problems change port 25 to 26)
2) Webmail
- Using a Web Browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Mozilla, etc) go to www.YOURDOMAIN.com/webmail (*YOURDOMAIN* = whatever the MAIN domain is of the account)
- a log-in box will pop up, the username is the full e-mail address you want to check with the password for THAT e-mail account
- Chose any of the options for reading mail, they all get you to the same inbox, they simply have a different and feel
