Setting up email accounts has never been easier!
Please follow the instruction below to setup your email
account(s).
Overview
Setting up email accounts is a two step process.
- The
first step involves setting up the email account on
the server through a control panel.
- The
second step requires you to setup your email account
on your computer, most commonly with outlook express.
Here
is the information you will need before we get started.
- Your
control panel login (provided to you by IMATRIX
via email)
- Your
control panel password (provided to you by IMATRIX
via email)
- Your
domain name (ex. domain.com)
- Your
Internet Service Provider (ISP)
Step
1: Setting up email in your control panel
- First,
we need to access the control panel. Type the following
link into your address bar (http://www.YOUR DOMAIN.com/admin).
Or click here.
(click ok to bypass the security alerts - standard
alert when you go to 128 bit encryption)
- Next,
you will see the IMATRIX logo and the login and password
prompts, enter your login and password information
that was given to you via email from IMATRIX Customer
Support. The email has the subject heading "Important
client information."
- Once
you have entered, scroll down and click on the link
underlined YOUR DOMAIN.com.
- Next,
click on the button labeled "MAIL"
- In
the field to the right of "Mailname:" type
in the first part of the email you would like. Example
for the email bob@blank.com you will only need to
type in the word "bob" (make sure everything
is lower case)
- Click
"ADD" on the right hand side
- On
this next screen you will find four options
- Mailbox
- stand alone email account.
- Redirect
- automatically forwards emails to another address.
- Mail
group - 1 email that copies itself to multiple
emails.
- Auto
responder - automatically emails pre-determined
text to any email address. (example - user is
going on vacation)
- The
most common option is to setup a stand alone email
account. So make sure to click on the mailbox check
box and type your password in twice.
Note: (password must be 5 - 20 letters in length and
not contain the same string of letters used for the
email. (example bob@blank.com
cannot have password bobby.
- Scroll
down and click on "UPDATE" on bottom right
hand side of the screen.
- Congratulations,
you should now see your email username list displayed
on the screen. The email account on the server has
been setup!
(note: for every account setup on the
server, a webmail account is also enabled. It can
be access by going to http://webmail.YOUR DOMAIN.com.
It uses the same usernames and passwords specified
in the control panel.)
Step
2: Choose your email client
* Note:
AOL dial up users cannot use pop3 email retrieval
