POP E-mail Accounts (Mailboxes)
Instead of using E-mail Forwarding to deliver e-mail to another Internet e-mail box, you have the option of creating your own POP e-mail boxes. Creating separate POP e-mail boxes for different e-mail accounts is a good way to keep e-mail separate between departments or personnel. POP boxes are currently the prominent type of e-mail boxes in use on the Internet and can be accessed with most major e-mail programs such as Eudora, Netscape Communicator, Outlook Express, and so on.

You have access to one Master POP Account and multiple additional POPs that appear in your Control Panel within E-mail Settings.

Important
If your disc space allocation is near or at capacity, you will not be able to receive POP e-mail. Do not let your disc space get close to the maximum limit. You can easily monitor your disc space usage within your Control Panel and can lease additional space if needed.

Creating and Configuring POP Accounts
POP accounts can be created only for specific e-mail addresses. For example, e-mail addressed specifically to [email protected] could be held in a private POP mailbox accessible with a unique popID and password.

To configure or create a POP e-mail account for an address at yourdomain.com, select the E-mail Settings button in your Control Panel. In the POP Accounts section of the E-mail Settings screen, there is a row for each POP account currently allotted in your account. To create a new account, fill out an empty row with the information for the new POP account.

For example, if you want e-mail addressed to [email protected] to be held in a POP account, enter the username "webmaster" in the column titled "@yourdomain". You must also enter a unique ID and password with which you will access the account:

@yourdomain User ID Password

After you have entered all the information for your POP account, scroll down to the bottom of the POP Accounts section, and click on "Change" to save your changes.

To help you remember your popID, keep your address and popID the same. For example, if your address is lou@yourdomain, make your popID be "lou" as well.

Important
The popID for your additional POP accounts must NOT the be same as your account userID. Assign unique IDs and passwords for access to the additional POPs for privacy.

Additonal POP accounts may be purchased
by contacting our sales department.

Configuring Your E-mail Program
For information about Configuring your e-mail program to check your POP e-mail box, please see How to Configure Your E-mail Program.
