Description: This article covers how to create and manage email accounts in SiteWorx, including setting up email forwarding and autoresponders.
Managing email accounts within SiteWorx is a straightforward process, allowing you to create and configure email addresses, forwarding, and autoresponders. Here's a guide to help you navigate these features:
- Creating Email Accounts:
- Access the Email Section:
- Log in to your SiteWorx control panel.
- Navigate to the "Hosting Features" section, and then select "Email."
- Within the Email section, locate and click on "Mailboxes."
- Add a New Mailbox:
- You'll typically find an "Add" or "Create Mailbox" button. Click it.
- Fill in the required information:
- Email Address: Enter the desired email address (e.g., info@yourdomain.com).
- Password: Create a strong, secure password.
- Disk Space Quota: Specify the storage space allocated to the mailbox.
- Optionally, there may be a field to "Send Copy To" this allows for another email address to receive a copy of all emails sent to the new email address.
- Click "Add" or "Create" to finalize the creation of the email account.
- Managing Email Accounts:
- Editing Accounts:
- In the "Mailboxes" section, you'll see a list of your existing email accounts.
- Look for an "Edit" or "Modify" option next to the account you want to change.
- You can usually modify settings like the password, quota, and forwarding options.
- Click "Save" once the desired changes have been made.
- Deleting Accounts:
- Similarly, you'll find a "Delete" or "Remove" option next to each email account.
- Be cautious, as deleting an account will permanently remove its associated emails.
- Confirm the deletion when prompted.
- Setting Up Email Forwarding:
- Within the email management section of SiteWorx, there will be options relating to forwarders.
- You will be able to add new forwarders, that will send all emails from one address, to another.
- You will be able to edit and delete existing forwarders.
- Setting Up Autoresponders:
- Vacation Messages:
- SiteWorx often includes a feature for setting up vacation messages or autoresponders.
- This feature might be found within the email account settings or as a separate option in the Email section.
- You can typically configure:
- The autoresponder message.
- The start and end dates (if applicable).
- Enable or disable the autoresponder.
- Some webmail applications, such as Horde or Roundcube, that are often included with Interworx, also allow for the setting of vacation messages.
Important Considerations:
- Password Security: Use strong, unique passwords for all email accounts.
- Quota Management: Monitor disk space usage to prevent mailboxes from becoming full.
- Spam Filtering: Familiarize yourself with SiteWorx's spam filtering options to reduce unwanted emails.
- Webmail Access: SiteWorx typically provides webmail access (e.g., Roundcube, Horde) for checking email through a web browser.
- Email Client Configuration: You'll need to configure your email client (e.g., Outlook, Thunderbird) with the correct server settings (IMAP/POP3, SMTP) to send and receive emails.
By following these steps, you can effectively manage your email accounts within SiteWorx.
