Email plays a vital part of every website and organization. When you purchase a web hosting account you will have the ability to create unlimited email accounts under your own domain name. (you@yourwebsite.com). Each email account has many features that we will discuss. You will have the ability to have control over every aspect of your email.
Accessing Email
There are many ways to access your email. You can view your email by logging in via a browser through webmail. You can access this by visiting https://yourwebsite.com/webmail. Your username will be your email address and password will be the password you created when you created your email address. You can also configure an email client such as Outlook or Thunderbird to pull your email using IMAP. Last but not least, you can connect any mobile device to send and receive email. We also offer very helpful knowledge base articles to help guide you.
There are many features that come with each email account. Below are just a few.
Autoresponders
When you activate an autoresponder for an email address it will automatically send a premade email back to the sender. A good example would be if you go on a vacation and you want people who email you to know you will not be available for a week. When you come back, you can deactivate the autoresponder.
Email Forwarders
If you have many email addresses and you do not want to have to check each one of them, you can create an email forwarder. An email forwarder will save a copy of the email on the original sent-to email address and then it will forward a copy of that email to another email address. You can create unlimited email forwarders in your account.
Email Filters
If you would like to control what folder a specific kind of email goes in then you will need to create an email filter. Email filters set specific rules with how to handle email. You can set a rule to say “If an email comes in from a specific address” then “Move email to a specific folder”. There is a list of rules you can choose from to determine how you want to handle the email.
Spam Filter
You have full control over what happens with spam in your account. You have the ability to set the spam filter settings on either a low or high setting. This will help prevent spam emails from entering your mailbox. Usually we find that when you own and run an email address for longer periods of time you will need to have a higher spam filter setting.
Built-In Calendar
Each email address comes with a built-in calendar for you to be able to log meetings and set important notifications for specific dates. The calendar works very similar to any Microsoft Outlook or Google calendar system. You can view your calendar by Day, Week, or Month. Easily import and export calendar data. When adding events you can add participants which will send out an email notification to verify the meeting. You can add attachments to events. Overall the calendar supplies all your bookmarking needs.
