Creating Email Accounts


 
The topic of this article is supported in its entirety by our customer support department.

OpenSourceHost allows you to create up to 5 email accounts with your Domain Name Package which can be accessed with many popular email clients as well as the OpenSourceHost webmail client. Each email box is created @yoursitedomain.com, so your email contacts will always see your personalized email address and domain.

Important Note: This will assume that you already have the Domain Name Package enabled.

  1. In your Control Panel, click Create Mail Account in the Mail group.
  2. Your domain name is shown to the right of the @ sign, so you only need to specify the desired name for the mailbox.

    This can be, for example, your first name and last name separated by a dot, a department name, or any other text in Latin symbols. The name should be short enough to remember. It can comprise alphanumeric, dash, dot and underscore symbols.

  3. Specify a password that you will use for accessing your mailbox.
  4. Make sure that a check mark is present in the Mailbox check box.
  5. Click OK.

Once you have created a mailbox, you can configure it inside of Outlook or any other POP-compatible email client, or access it with Webmail.
