1) Login to the server administrator at https://www.yourdomain.com:8443

Your login name and password are the same as the login and password you received when your site was set up. Please notify support  if you need this information.

3) If you have more than one domain, click the domain you want to set up email for.

4) Click the “Mail” button (the envelope icon located under the “Services” heading in the middle of the page).

5) Click the “Add New Mail Name” icon.
 
6) Enter the name you want to add. For example, to add webmaster@yourdomain.com, enter “webmaster” into the “Mail Name” box.

7) Enter a password. 
NOTE: The password cannot contain any part of the mail name.

8) Click "OK" at the bottom of the page to create that email address.

Why I am receiving the following error when sending an email: “553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts”?
For security reasons (including spam control), you must receive email using the POP or IMAP protocols before sending any email. When you use POP or IMAP you are authenticating a user; then this user is allowed to send mail to unknown hosts. After you receive mail using the POP or IMAP protocols there is a 30-minute window that the user is authenticated for. If you send mail after that 30-minute window you will receive the error above.

To fix the problem, send mail using the POP or IMAP protocol. Then try to resend the message. This is not a problem if you use the Webmail feature included with your account.

Another way to fix this error is to set your email program (Microsoft Outlook, for example) to automatically send/receive every five minutes or so. To do this in Outlook 2003, go to Tools > Options > Mail Setup> Send/Receive and chose to “Schedule an automatic Send/Receive” every five minutes.

I have set up my email in Outlook, but when I test the account settings, email is unable to be sent.
Some Internet Service Providers (ISPs) route all outbound email traffic through their own “Simple Mail Transfer Protocol” (SMTP) servers. In these cases, you must change your outbound email server (SMTP server) from mail.yourdomain.com to the outbound email server of your ISP. Contact your ISP for this information.
