In the email section of your control panel you can add new POP (email) accounts to your domain and also create
email forwarding accounts.

To add a new POP (email) account to your domain just click the Add new PopBox link as shown above (Image 1). Then enter the information as shown below (Image 2).

In the Name: field you should type the first part of the email address you want to set up. The example here is
test@yourdomain.com so all that needs to be entered is test.

In the Password: field enter the password that you want to use for this POP (email)  account.

If you want all emails that are sent to the account you are creating forwarded, then you will need to enter the email address that you would like the messages forwarded to in the Forward Messages to: field. You can keep copies of all forwarded messages on the server by ticking the Save Forwarded Messages box. This means not only will the messages be forwarded but you will also be able to download the email from the account it was intended to go to originally.

Once you're done just click Submit and your POP (email) account will be created for you. You can add as many POP (email) accounts to your domain as you require in the same way.

Creating an Auto-Responder message

Once your POP (email) box has been set up you can then add an Auto-Responder message to it if required. To do
this just follow the steps below:

From the main email section of your control panel (Image 1) click on the POP (email) box that you want to add an auto-responder to.
You will then see a screen similar to the one shown below (Image 3).

In the Autorespond to Messages box type in the message that you want people to receive when they send an email to that POP (email) account. Once you are happy with the message click Update which will setup the autoresponder. You can choose whether to have the message on or off by ticking or unticking the appropriate box.

you want them sent to in the field below Save Forwarded Messages, tick the box and click Submit.
