A mailbox is a mail account set on your domain, allowing you to set up for eg. INFO@yourdomain.com or YOURNAME@yourdomain.com
Click on mailboxes, on the right you will see an area for you to fill in the details of the new account. At the bottom you will see any mail accounts that are already set up. Disk Space Quota is the amount of space the mail account is allowed for storing messages. 'Send Copy to' is for another email address for a copy of any emails received to be sent to.
Fill in the details for the new account and click add.
An Alias is used to recieve email on a specific address without setting up a mailbox. Click on 'Aliases' at the bottom will be any that have already been set up.
The email address you would like to receive email on eg. sales@domain would be entered into the top box and the email it will be directed to eg. your home address blah@aol.com or another on the server you@yourdomain.com.
Click add and siteworx will report back.
A catch-all is an alias that will forward all emails that are not assigned to a mailbox to a certain address. To set this up enter default into the alias box and an email for the mail to go to, when you have added it siteworx will report back and you will see the new alias at the bottom of the page. If you have done it correct you will see (catch-all) displayed next to it.
Groups are the same as an alias but is used if you need to forward mail to more than one person. It is set up the same as an alias with the recipients seperated by line.
An Autoresponder is program that is used to reply to emails without you being present. It is usually used when the owner is on holiday or sick to inform the sender of the email that you may not be replying straight away.
