Email Setup
(See "Free Tools" for instructions on accessing your site's control panel (cPanel))

In cPanel click on the "Email" icon. That will take you to the screen you see below.

To add one or more pop3 (Post Office Protocol, version 3) email accounts, simply type the name into the "Add POP email account" window, i.e., "sales" or "info" or "jdoe" or "johnd".  Do yourself a favor and avoid the use of caps, (the internet is case sensitive), or special characters you have to explain every time you give out your email address.  (NOTE: You cannot use spaces.)

Next, assign the email account a password.  Again, it will be case sensitive, and a minimum of 4 characters.  (In the above example, I've created the account john@tbwe.net" with a password of "doe").  When you're done, click the "Add" button.

Next you should see a screen that says "POP email account added", and it will list the email you created.  On the left side of that screen, (in the list of all things email), click on the first listing, "POP email accounts".  That will take you back to the original screen you see below, only now you'll see your new email account listed just under your username.  You simply follow the same process for each email account you wish to create.

Note the icons to the right of each email account.  These are handy shortcuts, some you will need, some you won't, but lets cover them all quickly:

 

RED X:

Delete the account - Self-explanatory

ENVELOPE:

Create an email addressed to the account (for testing purposes, generally)

CLOCK: 

Set "time to live" value for read emails (You shouldn't need this one unless you're storing emails on the server, which you shouldn't do!)

MB: 

Modify the size of the email box - The default (10 MB) is enough room to store 10 copies of War and Peace in plain text.  Please only increase it if you get *LOTS* of email or massive attachments, etc.

KEY: 

Change the password of the email account - Self-explanatory

COMPUTER SCREEN (w/RED ARROW): 

Auto-configure Outlook Express for this email account

And speaking of that last one, you're done now and ready to set up the email account in your email client.  If you are using Outlook Express and want any/all of the email accounts you just created to appear in the "Main Identity", just hit that last icon beside that email account and follow the directions.  It'll do it all for you.  If you want to set up multiple identities in Outlook Express for the purpose of separating your business and personal email addresses, (always a good idea), or if you use some other email client, then go to the tutorial on "Setting Up Outlook Express" for instructions on it, or to get the settings information for your email client.
