How do I add a new email address?

I want a new email address set up for my domain, how do I go about adding one?

Setting up email with our webmail interface is a quick, and easy process.  For our example we'll be using the domain 'futuremarket.com' and setting up a new user.  You'll be substituting your own real domain for futuremarket.com in the example screenshots.

First, open a web browser and go to mail.yourdomain.com and click on where it says "Click Here For Domain Administrator Login"

Next, click on the tab on the upper right that says "Domain Administration"  to get a login prompt.

At the login prompt, type in your administrative login and password.  This can be an account that we've set up for you, but generally is set up as postmaster@yourdomain.com.  The password is sent to you when your domain is created with us, and is generally going to be the same as your FTP password.  The login should look like this: (you don't have the @yourdomain.com in the username here)

At this point you'll be on a screen that lists all of your accounts.  To create a new one, just type the name that you want for your new address in the box next to "Create Account" and click on the "Create Account" button, in this case, we're creating "new_account@futuremarket.com."

After creating the account you will be automatically redirected to the information page for said account.  Here you'll want to put in a "Real Name" for the person, this is the name that will show up in the "From" field if this account is used to send mail from our webmail system.  You will also have to fill out the "CommuniGate Password" field to assign the account a password.  Then click Update.  This will refresh the page and update the settings/changes.

Click on the "Objects" tab on the very top left hand tab to go back to the main page and you'll see your new account there.
