Host Administration

Help: Host Administration

If you have Host Administrator permissions, you can add, modify, and delete user mail accounts for your mail host. If you have Host Administrator and System Administrator permissions, you can add, modify, and delete user mail accounts for any mail host.

To add a user:

1. In your Web browser, open the login page for your mail server and log on to your mail account.
2. On the Menu page, select User Administration. The User Administration page appears.
3. If necessary, select a mail host (domain) and click the Update Users button to see the current list of users.
4. Click Add and enter the new user information.
5. Click Save to add the user. The user ID is added to the list of registered users.

Any users you have added can now receive mail through IMail Server at the specified host (domain name). For example, if you added the user fred to the mail host for the domain ipswitch.com, the user can now receive mail addressed to fred@ipswitch.com.
