How to Add Domain E-mail Accounts

Adding the address through Plesk To add an e-mail account to your domain, you will need to first log into Plesk and go under the domain that you want to add the e-mail address too. Once you are under the settings for the domain, click on "Mail" in the "Services" section (figure 1). Figure 1: Once you've clicked on "Mail", you'll be presented with a list of all the addresses that are currently set up on the domain, as well as a "Tools" section that will allow you to add e-mail addresses, disable all e-mail addresses, and set preferences for non-valid e-mail addresses such as bounceback messages (figure 2) Figure 2: From here, click on "Add New Mail Name," and fill in the form on the "Create mail name" page (figure 3). Make sure that you click the checkbox next to "Mailbox" to give this user a mailbox, and if need be check the Spamfiltering option if you want to enable junkmail filtering for this account. Click "OK" at the bottom and the new e-mail address will be set up, and you will be presented with the settings screen for the new account (figure 4). Figure 3: Figure 4: Checking for new mail through an e-mail client Once you had added the address through Plesk, you can then set up your e-mail client to check for e-mail. When setting up your account through your e-mail client, use mail.domain.name as your incoming mail server and your ISP's SMTP server. Checking for new mail through webmail You can check for new mail anywhere that you have an internet connection by going to http://webmail.domain.name and typing in your username and password. This will log into the webmail system for your domain. Note: Older MetaLINK Web Hosting customers may not have access to add domain e-mail addresses through Plesk. If you already have domain e-mail addresses and they do not display under Plesk, your account may be on the older setup. Please contact MetaLINK to add e-mails or transfer existing ones to Plesk.
