| CREATING
EMAIL ACCOUNTS THROUGH CONTROL PANEL
To add, delete, or change
your email accounts
- Go to https://control.commercebox.com/
and enter your account UserID and Password as
appropriate.
- Click on the "Mail
Manager" button
- Click on the
"Modify" button below your domain name.
- Use the buttons as needed
to create your Alias, POP, Autorespond, etc account(s)
Email Alias - This
type of account simply forwards any email to another
account. As an example, support@aipics.com
could be set up to automatically forward to support@hotmail.com.
Since email is automatically forwarded, you do not log into
this account the check your email.
Default Alias - The
default alias account is *@aipics.com. Any email sent
to a non-existent @aipics.com will be caught by the Default
Alias and will automatically forwarded to the real
@aipics.com email address you specify. In theory, this
lets you catch any email sent to mistyped email
addresses. In practical application, you just end up
getting a lot of extra TRASH / SPAM email. I do NOT
recommend using a Default Alias.
Email POP account:
This is a full, stand-alone email account. To check
your email for this type of account you either use your
email program on your computer or your browser as specified
above.
Autoresponder - This
allows you to set up any email account so that is
automatically sends a message back to the originator.
"Thanks for sending us your message. We want you
to know your message is important to us and we promise to
respond as quickly as is humanly possible." Yada Yada
Yada. On the surface, this seems like a neat
idea. However, the autoresponse accomplishes little
for your company and you ultimately end up in a quagmire of
bounced SPAM etc.
Email List and Auto List -
These accounts require a special interface that must be
incorporated by your webmaster. If you think you would
like either of these features, contact mike@razr.com
