HOW TO CREATE NEW USER AND POP MAIL ACCOUNTS

If you want to allow other people to be able to access admin, e-mail, and web files you will have to create a new user in the user management form. From the USER MANAGEMENT screen click on the blue oval button,. This will bring you to the following new/modify user screen:
  

 
To add a new user perform the following steps:
  1. Type in the full name of the user in the FULL NAME field. Note: The full name must be unique to any other user on your system.
  2. Click on the tab button and this will fill in the USER NAME field automatically. We suggest you keep the default username the software generates for the new user.
  3. Type in the users password and confirm it in the next field. Passwords are case sensitive so please remember exactly what is typed in.
  4. Leave the max allowed disk space alone. It has been set for you. Only change it if you wish to make it smaller than the default.
  5. Site Administrator: Only check this on if you want the new user to be able to access your <ROOT WEB> and the main admin you are in now. Be careful who you give access to in this area.
  6. Enable FrontPage User Web: This will create a personal web in your domain for that user. It will show up as ~username on the LIST WEBS function in FrontPage. (Please note that if you are adding other people to access the <ROOT WEB> that selecting the FP user web box is not required.)
  7. Suspend User: Use this on an existing user to disable their account if required.
  8. CLICK on the CONFIRM button to complete the NEW CREATION or MODIFY (depending on what you are doing)
  9. The process is now complete.

At this time if you are creating a new user the following has happenend:

  • The new user was created
  • The users e-mail accounts have been created with the username and one alias reflecting their FULL NAME  eg firstname.lastname@domainname.com
  • Admin and/or FrontPage access has been given to the user if it was selected.

You can now provide access instructions to your new user.

E-MAIL ALIAS NAMES AND VACATION E-MAIL

Since a user can have only one unique name applied to them what do you do if you want to create differenet/common e-mail identities for that user? YOU CREATE AN E-MAIL ALIAS. This allows you to use an e-mail address like webmaster@domainname.com for a user. Since each user on your domain must follow a first name/ last name convention this is the only way you can change your e-mail address to common beginnings like, webmaster, info, sales, postmaster, etc. If you have more than one user in a domain you can only have one webmaster applied to one user. Two different users in the same domain cannot both be webmaster.

After you have created the new user go back to the main USER MANAGEMENT screen and click on the ajacent to the user you want to modify. This will bring up the following screen:
 

 
You will notice that the user you are modifing already has one alias created for him/her. It will be in the format of first.lastname. To create more alias names for the user simply type in the desired name in the line below the first alias and click on SAVE CHANGES. You can create an unlimited number of alias names for any user as long as they are not the same as any of the other users.

FORWARD E-MAIL TO:

If desired you can forward all received e-mail for a user to an outside account. Perhaps you have an MSN or AOL account that you want all mail to go to. Simply type in the e-mail address you want the mail to go to and click on SAVE CHANGES.

VACATION MESSAGE:

If you are going to be away for an extended period of time and won't be able to check your e-mail the use this function. Type in your Vacation message and click on the box to turn on the VACATION function. Don't forget to SAVE CHANGES. This will automatically send anyone trying to reach you the typed in message. The server will also store all your received e-mail until you get back to pick it up. When you are back simply check the box off and click on SAVE CHANGES.
