How to set up email accounts

by Owen Mundy, June 2nd, 2010

Many members continue to use the email accounts they had already when they begin using yourarthere.net. Other members like to create an account with their domain name. If you do this you have two options:

  1. You can create an account (e.g. mail@yourdomain.com) and login at http://webmail.yourdomain.com
  2. You can create an account and forward it to another address you already use. The best way to do this to turn off the mailbox in Plesk > Desktop > Mail > the email account. This means messages you've already seen with you main account will not be saved on the server and take-up unnecessary space.

To set up an email account follow these instructions

  1. Login to Plesk.
  2. Click Home on the left navigation column.
  3. Click the name of the domain you want to create an email account for.
  4. Under Services, click Mail.
  5. This page is where you manage your mail accounts. Click Add New Mail Account.
  6. Enter a username and password for the email account you wish to create. Click OK.
  7. The next page will show you a summary of your settings.
  8. Now go to webmail.<yourdomain>.com where you can login to your account.
