Mail Configuration

Adding POP accounts

To create a new pop account, login to your CP and click the email link to the left. Next click add/remove accounts. Here you will see a list of any POPs that you have created if any. To create a new one click the "Add Account link in the bottom of the page. Next fill in the blanks and click create. The server will create the POP for you, you can then either click the "Go back" link or the add/remove accounts link in the left menu again. Now you should see your newly created POP and the username you will need to use to check and send email with that account.

Email Redirects/Forwards/Aliases

If your initial account login is user for the domain domain.com (your domain name will not always be the default login but in most cases it is) then you already have one POP3 account of user@domain.com . If you would like to recieve email by the name of user2@domain.com or user3@domain.com for example , you can use an email forward. You can have as many forwards as you like to any single POP3 account.

To make user3@domain.com point to your POP3 account user@domain.com follow these instructions.

A.) In your web panel, goto the forwarders section.
B.) Click the "Add Forwarder" link.

Next there will be 2 boxes, the top one with a blank and the name of your domain like so :
________@domain.com

Fill in the missing part of the email address you want forwarded in the blank.

Net you will see a totally blank box below the first blank box.
This is where you enter the full email address of the account you want to recieve the
forwarded mail.

A full setup will look something like this

___bob@domain.dom
forward_user@domain.dom

Now to check any email to user3@domain.com simply check your email to the POP3 account user@domain.com

Note: If any forwards are already installed to your domain, they are there to ensure that POP3 accounts to your users work. For example:


Autoresponders

An autorepsonder is automatic email generated to a sender when a certain email address receives mail
To create an autoresponder login to your CP
Next click autoresponder and click Add Autoresponder.

Accessing Your Email

Eudora
We recommend using Eudora as your email client. This is a mail program that runs under MS Windows and Macintosh OS. Eudora connects to the mail server over the Winsock or Macintosh TCP/IP. Mail may be composed and read offline, but make sure that Winsock or TCP/IP is running before attempting to send or receive email. Although your account exists on our server, you won't be able to receive email at yourname@yourdomain.com until InterNIC has activated you in the domain name servers.

After Eudora has been installed, it must be configured to point to your server. To do this, start Eudora and select "Settings" from the menu bar. Most of the options are self explanatory. Here are the steps you need to perform to set up Eudora:

1) Install and start up the Eudora program
2) Select "Settings" from the "Special" menu
3) Select the "Getting Started" tab, then under Real Name, enter your Real Name
4) Under "POP Account" put yourdomain@yourdomain.com
5) Leave Return Address blank unless you want people to send return email to you at a different email account
6) If you use the Macintosh version, the radio button for TCP/IP connection should be highlighted
7) Click the "Personal Information" tab (also only for the Macintosh version)
8) Under POP account put yourdomain@yourdomain.com again
9) Fill out the "Real Name" and "Return Address" as you did before
10) Under "Dialup User Name" enter yourdomain (do not enter .com or .net here)
11) Click the "Hosts" tab then enter pop.axenetworks.com again under POP Account, and put smtp.axenetworks.com under SMTP Server.
"
*Please note: some access providers require that you use their SMTP setting.

12) Go to the "Checking Mail" tab and make sure "Save Password" is checked.
That's pretty much all the configuration Eudora needs. Many of the configuration areas will be filled in when you go to them, for instance it will usually fill in the POP account info where ever it needs it after you enter it the first time. Now, when you select "Check Mail" under the File menu, a window will pop up asking for your password. Enter in your password then click on the proceed button and Eudora will check to see if you have email. You can now send a test email message to yourself and then check to see if it gets returned to you. If you checked "Save Password" as in step 12, Eudora will not prompt you again for your password after the first time. If multiple users have access to your computer, and you don't want them to have access to your email account, make sure "Save Password" is unchecked.

Your default email address is yourdomain@yourdomain.com, and that's where all your email will be sent to, unless other configurations take priority (such as autoresponders and redirects mentioned later).
