Creating a mailbox

A mailbox is a repository for email. It it used to store emails for one or more email addresses. When a user connects with a mail client application (Outlook Express, Eudora, etc.), they connect to a mailbox to retrieve their email. When creating a mailbox, MailEnable will automatically create an email address for each domain in the postoffice, using the format mailboxname@domain. When a mail client application logs onto to MailEnable to retrieve email, it needs to have its username formatted as mailboxname@postofficename.

The options in a mailbox are:

  • General options
  • Addresses
  • Redirection
  • Actions
  • Messages
  • Service selection
  • Restrictions
  • POP Retrieval
  • Filters
  • Contact details
