What types of email
addresses can I setup?
Basically there are two types of email addresses:
(1) A forwarder email address
This is a "mimic" email address without a mailbox. All emails
sent to this address will be automatically redirected to another
email address you specified. For example, all emails sent to
you@yourdomain.com are redirected
to you_2002@gmail.com.
(2) An email address with an actual mailbox
This is a physical place where all your incoming emails are
stored. To retrieve the emails, you may use an email client
(such as Outlook Express or ThunderBird) or use a browser to
access Webmail. Instruction for setting up the email client is
described below.

How do I access my email accounts from a browser?
Point your browser to www.yourdomain.com/webmail .
You will be prompted for the username and password of
your email account. Enter your FULL email address as the
username (e.g.
xxxx@yourdomain.com).
Webmail is a very useful and convenient way to read and
send emails when you are traveling or managing emails in
an Internet cafe.
After logging in, you can use the web-based software (Horde or SquirrelMail) to manage your emails.
Webmail is only for email addresses with mailboxes. It is not for forwarder
email addresses.

What
are auto-responders?
You can set up auto-responders to
automatically respond to incoming emails. Meaning, when someone sends
you an email, he will receive an automatically replied email.
Each account plan comes
with a pre-specified amount of auto-responds. Auto-responders can be set
under the Webmail at www.yourdomain.com/cpanel

What
is BoxTrapper (as seen when you logged into Webmail)?
BoxTrapper is a mechanism to reduce spam mails. It prevents some
automated software from sending spam mails to you.
When someone sends you an email for the FIRST time, he will receive
an auto-replied email requesting him to click on the link in that email
to verify his email address. After clicking the link, his email address
will be added to the white list (as opposed to block list). Without
verifying his email address, his email will be discarded.
