Using The Console™ to Create E-mail Accounts

Before you start creating the e-mail accounts, you need to decide what type of account you will find most useful for you or your business. The definitions for each available type are below.

POP

Stands for Post Office Protocol and means that this type of account has a server space quota on the mailserver and can be accessed with e-mail software e.g. Outlook, Eudora etc. Netregistry also provides customers with an online web interface to send and receive e-mail, much like Hotmail or Yahoo e-mail service. Any POP user in our system is able to access their POP mail using the Webmail system.

Create a new POP email account

• Log in to The Console™
• Click on the icon called "Email"
• Click "Create a new POP account"
• In the field "User" enter your or your employees name Please note: Full names can only be separated by a hyphen or a full stop. Example: john , john-smith or john.smith
• In the field "Password" enter your preferred password for this e-mail account. It should be something that you will be able to remember. We do not recommend to make it too easy to guess for your own security
• Click "Create".

You can add forwarding addresses to POP accounts. For instructions on how this is done, please click here.

Alias

This type of e-mail account that does not have any space on the mailserver and only performs the function of redirecting/forwarding mail from it onto another POP e-mail account (or multiple POP accounts), where the redirected message can be saved for the POP user(s). A popular way to use Aliases with e-mail is creating a "sales@" alias account and redirect it onto all of the company's Sale's team members.

Create a new Alias email account

• Log in to The Console™
• Click on the icon called "Email"
• Click "Create a new Alias account"
• In the field "Alias name" enter the employee's name. Please note: Full names can only be separated by a hyphen or a full stop. For Example: john or john-smith or john.smith
• In the field "Target address" enter the destination email address. This could be your isp dial-up email address. For Example: johns@ISPname.com.au
• Click "Create".

You can add forwarding addresses to Alias accounts. For instructions on how this is done, please click here.

CatchAll

Catchall e-mail address "catches" all e-mail sent to addresses, which are not configured as POP or Alias for a particular domain name. Once caught, the mail is redirection onto a forwarding address(as) assigned by you. It is most handy if you anticipate mistakes in the spelling of your POP user.

Create a CatchAll address

NOTE: Not all Netregistry E-mail packages provide this option, so if you do not find it in The Console, do not hesitate to request it from our Sales Team.

• Log in to The Console™
• Click on the icon called "Email"
• Click "Create a catchall address"
• In the field "Target Address" enter the destination email address for the mail sent to the catchall.
• Click "Create".

You can add multiple forwarding addresses to Catchall.

Adding forwarding addresses to POP/Alias/Catchall E-mail accounts

You may wish to assign more that one e-mail address to one Alias, POP or Catchall. This is beneficial if you wish to get a copy of your employees e-mails or create an e-mail for your Sales team for instance.

• Log in to The Console™
• Click on the icon called "Email"
• Click on an existing e-mail address (there is no difference if it is a POP/Alias/Catchall)
• In the section "Forwarding Addresses" you will see a field titled "Add a new forwarding address". Enter the new address here.
• Click "Create".

You can add as many forwarding addresses as you require. Messages sent to the e-mail address you are editing will be forwarded to each of the new forwarding addresses. The original recipient of the message will not be aware of it.
