New mailbox, alias and forwarding

How to create a mailbox in the portal, add further addresses to it and have mail sent elsewhere.

You manage the mailboxes of your domain yourself in the client portal. A change reaches the mail server within moments.

New mailbox

  1. In the portal, open the domain and go to Mail.
  2. Click New mailbox.
  3. In Mailbox name, enter the part of the address before the at sign, for example info or invoices.
  4. Choose a password: at least ten characters, including a lowercase letter and an uppercase letter or a digit.
  5. Save. We create the mailbox on the mail server, which takes a moment.

Additional addresses (aliases)

An alias is an address that delivers into an existing mailbox. It is useful when one person should receive mail at several addresses — for example sales@ and orders@.

  1. Click edit next to the mailbox.
  2. In Additional addresses (aliases), enter the addresses, one per line.
  3. Save.

Mail forwarding

Forwarding sends every received message on to another address, for example a private e-mail.

  1. Click edit next to the mailbox.
  2. In Mail forwarding, enter the target addresses, one per line.
  3. If the message should also stay in the original mailbox, keep Keep a copy in the mailbox switched on.

Changing the password and removing a mailbox

Set a new password in the mailbox edit form; an empty field leaves the password unchanged. Removing a mailbox also deletes all messages in it, and this step cannot be undone.
