Creating a POP Email Account

This simply jumps you to the New POP Account Page.

Changing an Account Password

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 Set no default catch all account 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

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.
