The Admin Pages
Pop Accounts
The pop account screen lets you:
Edit SpecificSpecifically search for an email username
Creating a New Email Account
This simply jumps you to the New
POP Account Page.
Modify Account
As the administrator it may become necessary to change the
password for one of your users because they have forgotten it, or more likely,
they recently changed it and now don't know what they changed it to.
Using the change password button for any user will take you
the modify user page
You are required to enter the new password for the user twice
to ensure you don't make a error while entering it. The Real
Name field is for the administrators reference only and will not effect
their email in any way.
Deleting a POP Email Account
Choosing to delete a user brings up the delete confirmation
page.
You can also choose to create a forwarding account to replace
the pop account when it is being deleted. To do so simply enable Forward email
and enter the address the account will be forwarding to.
The "Catch All" Account
What is a "catch-all?"
It is a means of receiving any and all email sent to your
domain regardless of if the particular account exists or not. For instance,
lets say there is an email account called wazzerjbouski@yourdomain.com... people
may make a mistake typing in the email address. Making a catch all account will
ensure that someone at your domain gets the message.
If you were the only user of your domain you could choose
to make only one email account in the domain and set it as the catch all. Doing
this makes it possible for you to make up email addresses at will. Note that
sub accounts are also available meaning
that all users have a virtually limitless number of accounts available to them.
In general it is not recommended that you create "Catch
All" accounts if you have more users in your domain than yourself as a
simple typo would result in the catch all account getting the message instead
of it being bounced back to the original sender and they then correcting their
mistake and re-sending it.
Setting the "catch-all"
By default, the catch-all account is disabled. To enable
it click the button under CatchAll Account for
the account that will be the Catch all account. If you return to the pop account
menu you should see the account you select now says default
under the CatchAll Account heading.
Clearing the "catch-all"
To clear the catch all account simply click the
Remove catch all link at the bottom of the page. If you
return to the pop accounts page you will know that it has been cleared
because it no longer says default
under the CatchAll Account heading.
Aliases
The aliases page lets you do the following:
The aliases page shows you the alias accounts that have been created for your
domain.
Add New Alias
The Add New Alias command jumps you to the Add
Aliases page.
Modifying An Alias (or Forward)
When you select the modify button for a user you will be presented with the
following page.
Once a alias or forward has been created it is effective the same except for
which list it appears under off of the main menu. If the account was created
as an alias is will always appear under the alias menu, if the account was created
as a forward it will always appear as a forward.
This page allows you to add additional destinations for the account in question.
If you would like to add additional email accounts that this account fowards
to enter them in the Add Email Address field
and select Add. If you wish to have this alias
deliver email to additional local accounts select them from the drop down menu
and select Add.
The following shows the result of adding an additional local alias (vpsd) and
forwarding email account (other@domain.com).
If you wish to delete any of the forwards or aliases for the account simply
select the delete button on the appropriate line which matches the account you
with to remove.

line from the main alias page. You will be presented with a confirmation page
where you can choose to confirm the deletion or cancel as shown below.

Main Menu and click the option letter on the right side of the username
you wish to have be forwarded. By default the option letter is an
uppercase N. The option let's to add a forward, modify, delete even
add a vacation message that is sent as a reply to every email sent
to that account.
Adding A New Forward
The Add New Forward Link simply takes you to the New
Forwards page.

on modifying aliases.

list for that mailbox.
