Your account mailbox will receive all mail addressed to any domain names on the account, regardless of username. For instance, if you had the domain name example.com, you would receive mail at any of the following:

sales@example.com
support@example.com
president@example.com
anythingyouwant@example.com

and any other username. No configuration is needed on your part -- this is enabled by default.

You can also send mail as coming from any address in your domain name, regardless of your actual account username. This is done through the settings in your POP3 mail software. Mailboxes with separate usernames and passwords, such as for other members of your organization, are called Virtual Mailboxes.

A Virtual Mailbox can be added to your account through Account Control Center. The steps required to add a mailbox are:

1. Log in to the Account Control Center.
2. At the top of the screen click Mail.
3. Under Mailboxes, click Create New Mailbox.
4. Enter the configuration information that you would like to use for the new mailbox, and click Add Mailbox at the bottom of the page.

Follow the above steps once for each mailbox that you want to set up. The new mailbox will be active within 15 minutes. Among the details that you specify when setting up a Virtual Mailbox are:

• Username. This is a receiving address for the mailbox (username@example.com). It is also the login name that you use with your POP3 mail client or WebMail Login. Note that a Virtual Mailbox username cannot be the same as your main account's login name.
• Password. This is the password used to check the Virtual Mailbox in a POP3 mail client or WebMail Login.
• Full Name. This is the person the mailbox is set up for. It does not affect the receiving address or username. You would still be able to configure the outgoing name in your POP3 mail client or WebMail Login to be something else.
• Receiving Address. This can be used in several different ways. If you only want the mailbox to receive e-mail to one address in your domain name, put the same value as Username for the Receiving Address. If you would like the mailbox to have two addresses in your domain name, enter a unique Receiving Address that is different from the Username. Lastly, you can have this mailbox receive all mail for its domain name, by leaving the Receiving Address box blank.

Use these settings to check your Virtual Mailbox through a POP3 mail client:

• Username and Password - these are the same as the ones that you used when you set up the mailbox.
• POP3 server - this is mail.example.com (where example.com is the domain name used for the mailbox).
• SMTP server - the outgoing mailserver for your ISP.

To check a Virtual Mailbox using the WebMail Login, use these settings:

• username@domain - use the mailbox username and the domain name associated with it.
• Password - the mailbox password.
  
  

Your account also includes the ability to forward maill to other e-mail addresses you might have, and to set up autoresponders to answer certain e-mail addresses. The powerful Account Control Center makes custom e-mail configuration fast and easy.
