Creating a regular mail account

A Regular account has a physical mailbox on the system that can be accessed by any POP or IMAP mail client as well as WebMail. It can also be forwarded temporarily to another address by using the "Forward To" option.

The "Accounts" function allows you to create regular new mail accounts. To create a new account, click the "Create" button from the "Accounts" main page. The "Add" page will be displayed. Enter a username and password for the new account. A valid username must start with a letter or number a-z, 0-9 and may contain a-z, 0-9, ".", and "-" characters.  Two “.” characters in a row is not valid. A "." can neither be preceded by nor followed by a "-" and no account can end in "." or "-". Remember that some mailers may not support usernames longer than 16 characters. Email addresses are case insensitive.

If you want to forward your new mail account, enter the "forward to" email address(s) in the "Forward To" textbox. To forward your account to more than one email address, you must enter them in the "Forward To" textbox separated by commas with no spaces. The guidelines described above for email account names should be followed.  

When you forward the new account, you can choose to keep a copy of incoming mail in the forwarded account mailbox. To activate this option, click the "Keep a copy of forwarded email in this account's mailbox " check box.

Click the "Apply" button to save your changes. Click the "OK" button to save your changes and exit EasyMail.
