Creating a new Email Account
There are geenerally 2 steps to creating a new email account. Step 1 is to create the account on your mail server, which is what this tutorial will help you with, and step 2 is to configure the email account in your email program (such as Outlook, or Windows Mail). Step 2 is partially covered in this tutorial, however should you have trouble configuring your email program, then we suggest using the support options of your mail program.
To create a new email account:
- Login into your control Panel console at www.yourdomain.com.au/cpanel, entering your username & password
- Navigate the Control Panel until you get to the group of options labelled Mail. Then click the Email Accounts button.
- The next screen provides you with a list of already created mail accounts, but also allows you to create new mail accounts as well. Simply enter the new email account name, the password (twice), and the quota amount, and then press the Create Account Button.
- The screen will refresh, and now you will see your new mail account added to the list of email accounts attached to your domain. The next step is to configure your email account. To do this you will need to know your email account settings, and these can be accessed by selecting the Configure Email Client button, which is under the drop down meni item labelled More.
- The Mail Client Configuration screen provides your with both an automatic and manual method of configuring your email client. The automatic method is only supported for users of Microsoft Outlook Express,Microsoft Outlook and Mac mail users. If you are using one of these mail clients, then you can select the option appropriate to you, and follow the on-screen instructions. If you are using a different mail client, you will need to copy the information for a maunual configuration down, and follow your mail clients process for configuring email accounts.
