Email Account Management

If you are a small business owner or website owner then you will most likely have multiple email accounts for:

Employees
Business functions e.g. sales, support

This means that you will be required to create and configure multiple email accounts.

This management will be done in two stages:

Create email accounts/addresses on the email server
Configuring Client access to the email account.

Create Email Accounts/Addresses on the Email Server

In the add new account form fill in the appropriate boxes. In the example below I am creating the email address and email account called testuser@oeupdates.com.

When you create the account Bluehost (will vary according to your host) displays a screen with the client configuration settings that you need and also offers install scripts for various clients that you can use. (see screen shot). If your client is on the list download the script and use it on the client computer.

Once created you can go back to the other screen and scroll down the screen and manage the account. On this screen you have only a few options but there are other things that you can do that aren't shown here but may be shown in your email manager.

When you come to configure a desktop email client like Outlook Express to access your email mailbox you will need the following information which you can get by logging in to your email account management control panel.

SMTP server- This sever is used to send email.
POP3 or Imap4 server-This server is used to receive email.
Account name - This is your login name to receive email.
Account password -This is your login password to receive email.
Email Address- This is the sender address

Mail groups are simply a list of email addresses, that are treated as a single entity and are ideal when you need to send to the same group of recipients on a regular basis as you only need to add a single entry rather than selecting multiple individual entries.
