 | From the Mail Manager, select the desired e-mail account listed under the heading
Addresses on the left-hand side of the screen. The Mailbox Options page displays for the specified
e-mail account. |
| The Change Password and Delete options are described in detail in the procedures
that follow. Other options on this page deal with forwarding e-mail that is received by this account
to other accounts. These options are explained here:
 | Forwarding the e-mail sent to the original address to the same address on the
specified server. This is for normal mail processing and is the default setting. |
| Forwarding the e-mail sent to this address to another address on the same,
specified server. If you select this option, you must also select the address(es) from the list of
possible e-mail accounts on the server to which you would like to have the e-mail forwarded. |
| Forwarding the e-mail sent to this address to another address on a different
server. If you select this option, you must manually type the e-mail address to which you are
having mail forwarded in the text entry box provided. This would be used if you had an existing
account with another service to which you would like your mail forwarded.
|
|
| After selecting the appropriate mail forwarding option, you may also manually type
text in the auto-response text entry box. If you choose this, be sure to select the Auto-response for
mail to… option. Any text you type in the space provided will automatically be sent to anyone who
sends e-mail to the address you are currently editing. |
| After all edits are completed, click on the Save button to apply the changes to
the account. The message "Done" appears on your screen. |
| To return to the Mail Manager home, select the Home link. If you would like to
return to the main Control Panel page, select the Control Panel link located in the upper right
corner of the top frame. |

Addresses on the left-hand side of the screen. The Mailbox Options page displays for the specified
e-mail account. |

displays. |
| Type the new password in the Input Password and Re-enter Password fields. Be sure
to type the password exactly the same way in both fields. |
| Select the Change button. A message displays indicating the password has been
changed. |

Sending and Receiving Mail
Sending and receiving mail is not executed in the Control Panel. The mail tools and utilities available
in the Control Panel are merely ways of setting up mail accounts and lists on the server on which your
account resides.
To send or receive mail, use your normal mail client configured to retrieve mail
from, and send mail through, your domain mail account.
For detailed instructions on how to set up your mail client software, visit our
Email Setup Section.
Creating Aliases - Forwarding Email
You can use mail manager to set up mailboxes, create aliases (box1 sends
directly to box2), and even forward mail off our server to be received somewhere else (like box@aol.com).
But there is one important exception:
Using mail manager, you can set up any of the following:
['--->' means 'forwards to']
box1 ---> box1
box1 ---> box1, box2 [both boxes get a copy]
box1 ---> box@aol.com
box1 ---> box1, box@aol.com
box1 ---> box2
box2 ---> box2, box@aol.com
BUT THIS PART WILL NOT WORK:
box1 -->box2 ---> box@aol.com [box1 forwards to box2, which forwards to box@aol.com]
You have to do this:
box1 --> box2, box@aol.com [box1 forwards to box2 and to box@aol.com]
The Mail
Manager option provides several ways of managing the mail accounts you set up on your account. NOTE:
setting up your Mail Manager and mailboxes is just half the job - the other half is configuring the
email program on your pc. See
