You can setup email accounts on our system, by following a couple simple steps.

Step 1:

Enter your control panel via http://IPADDRESS.com/menu or if your domain has propagated after 24-48 hours via http://www.yourdomain.com/menu

Input your Username and Password included in your "Welcome Letter" (you received this email when you first signed up with WebNet Hosting).

Click the "Mail Manager" icon, which is the mail setup feature in your control panel to setup your emails.

You will then notice a "Default" email on the left hand side already created, this is the email that is setup with your username, meaning:
If your username for your control panel is johndoe, the default email will be johndoe@yourdomain.com

To setup more emails, you will need to click "New Address" on the left hand side.

You can then input your email. You only need to input your domain, johndoe, you do not need to input johndoe@yourdomain.com

Spam Fighting Tip:

We highly recommend you create a new mail box after you have created all your emails, called /dev/null

Then go to your "Default" mailbox and forward all emails to /dev/null email box.

This will configure all unwanted emails at your domain to be sent to junk mail, which will eliminate spam and junk mail.

When you create the new mailbox called /dev/null you will want to create any password you wish for this mailbox.

Tip:

We recommend if you have multiple emails, to forward them to a dial-up or local email address, that way you will not receive multiple "password denied requests"

The reason you will receive these is because, you are popping to many emails every 5 minutes, and the server is authenticating too often.


Checking Email:

There are a couple ways you can check your email, either via WebMail, or you can use any email application you wish such as MS Outlook, MS Outlook Express, Eudora, etc.

WebMail:

To check your email via webmail, simply go to your domain name/up, for example:

http://www.yourdomain.com/up

You will then have to input the email you created in "Mail Manager" and the password you associated with that email.
