Your i12 e-mail
account
Your i12 account allows you to setup an unlimited number of
POP3 accounts as well as an unlimited number of e-mail aliases
(these are email accounts that 'sit' on top of a POP3 account
and share the same settings. Aliases are ideal for people
who want to receive email to more than two addresses, such
as one to "john" and one to "sales", but
want the same userID and password for both accounts).
In addition, your i12 account allows
you to create a "hostname" which may be used to
give your business/organisation a much sleeker image, as it
allows you to add email addresses that are clearly identified
with your business/organisation. For example, rather than
simply having yourname@i12.com, using a hostname you could
have yourname@yourbusiness.i12.com
To manage your e-mail accounts, visit
www.i12.com and click on "User tools" then click on the required
link such as "Add e-Mail addresses". All pages mentioned below
assume you have already entered into the user tools section.
Managing your
hostname
When you originally created your i12
account, you would have registered one single POP3 e-mail
address such as yourname@i12.com
You now have the option of customising
your email address by adding a hostname to any POP3 account.
In order to activate this option, you will first have to decide
what hostname you would like. Then by clicking the "create
new hostname" button from the bottom of the page, you
can insert your chosen hostname into the box before the i12.com
and then click the "create" button.
To delete a hostname, simply click
on the delete hostname button and choose from the drop down
list which hostname you would like to delete
Creating new POP3
e-mail addresses
Now that you have successfully
created a hostname, you have the ability to create new POP3
e-mail addresses that 'link' to the hostname, for example if
you created a hostname called mybusiness, you now have the
ability to create a new email address such as
sales@mybusiness.i12.com or
accounts@mybusiness.i12.com
To create a new POP3 e-mail account,
click on the "create new POP3" account button from
the bottom of the page, then from the update page, insert
your chosen e-mail address into the box before the drop down
list of hostnames you have created. Then choose from the drop
down list which hostname you would like to use with that e-mail
address.
Once you have created your e-mail
address and chosen you hostname, you will need to decide what
password you are going to use for that account. Enter your
chosen password into the field marked password and again in
the box below to verify it is correct, then click on the "create"
button.
Your passwords should to be between
6 and 24 characters long and should be all in lowercase and
must not contain any spaces.
Deleting POP3
e-mail addresses
To delete a POP3 e-mail address,
select the POP3 account you would like to delete from the list
of accounts you have created on the main update page, then
click on the "delete this account" button. This will take you
to the delete POP3 account page and will display the e-mail
address you have chosen to delete. You will then be asked, "do
you really want to delete your account" upon which you should
click the "yes" button.
Warning: If you delete a POP3 e-mail
Address, you will also be automatically deleting any other
e-mail alias addresses you have setup on that POP3 e-mail
Address AND any messages that you have not collected from
the i12 POP3 Server.
Creating alias
e-mail addresses
As explained above, e-mail Aliases
are email accounts that 'sit' on top of a POP3 account and
share the same settings.
To create an alias e-mail address,
simply click on the "add e-mail alias button", on
the chosen POP3 account. Then type your chosen e-mail address
in the box before the drop down list of hostnames, then select
the appropriate hostname and click on the "create"
button.
Deleting alias
e-mail addresses
To delete an alias e-mail address,
select the POP3 account that the alias is sitting on, then
click " delete e-mail alias". A new page will then load
showing a list of e-mail addresses, simply highlight the alias
you want to delete and click on "delete".
Changing your
password
To change your password for any POP3 e-mail
account, choose the account from the list of accounts you have
created on the main page, then click the "change password"
button.
When the new page loads, enter your
new password in the box provided, and again below to verify,
then click on the "change" button.
