How Do setup email account or forward my mail from my Website?

Option 1: Forwarders - if you would like to forward email from this account to another email account use "forwarders" and do NOT  "create" a email account as in option 2 below.

  1. open your cpanel at http://your-web-site.com/cpanel/

  2. click the mail link

  3. click forwarders link

  4. click "add forwarder" link at bottom

  5. enter the prefix for this email and the FULL email to forward it to then click the "add forwarder" button.
    @ >>
    In the example above all email to bobby@your-website.com would arrive at bigbob@AOL.com . You may have as many emails as you want forwarding to the same or different email accounts.

Option 2: Mail Account - when you create a email account you must also setup the software on your PC to log in and check this email account.

  1. open your cpanel at http://your-web-site.com/cpanel/
    NOTE: You do not need a mail account to forward mail to another account. You can forward mail from your-website.com to you@AOL.com using a forwarder, not a mail account. Mail "accounts" are only for collecting mail on this sever and require you to log in to this server to get your mail.

  2. Most people only need ONE email account, forwarders can then be used to make as many emails as you like to forward to this one account. For example you can have sales@your-domain.com, orders@youdomain.com, etc@youdomain.com, all forward to your one email account such as me@yourdomain.com. This way you only need to login to one account to check all that email.

  3. To start setup click the mail link in Cpanel

  4. click Add/Remove Accounts (never click the Default account)

  5. click [add account] near bottom

  6. enter email and password

  7. click create (if you need further cpanel help click the "documentation" link in the lower left corner of cpanel).

  8. To setup Outlook Express to check your new mail account continue;

  9. Close Outlook Express if you have it open.

  10. In Cpanel Click "Home" at top right of page, click "Mail" Icon, Click "Manage/Add/Remove Accounts"

  11. You should now see your email accounts, including the "Default Account" never use the Default account, leave it as is, it's set to "black Hole" for spam purposes.

  12. On the same line as the account you want to setup click "Configure Mail Client" , then choose the appropriate POP3 link for your email software and follow the prompts.
