Email Facilities

What features come with my email account?

You get at least one fully featured email account with your site (depending on which hosting package you choose). Each email account will have its own address under your domain (e.g. you@yourname.com). If you like, you can setup your account to have your email forwarded to another email account anywhere on the web. We set up your main email account so that any mail sent to an unrecognised user at your domain is delivered to your main email address. This can be very useful because it means you can use many different email aliases without actually having to set them up explicitly. You can also give any email account an unlimited number of email aliases so that when mail is sent to, say, an_alias@yourname.com then you will receive the email at, say, colleague@yourname.com (a real mailbox).

Can I access my POP accounts through my browser?

Absolutely. Our WebMail system allows you to access your POP accounts through an easy-to-use browser-based interface. No configuration is required, which makes it a perfect tool for people who need to access their POP accounts while traveling. Please note that the WebMail system can only be used for mailboxes under 6 MB in size. For that reason we recommend that you use it when convenient, but that you also use mail software such as Microsoft Outlook, Eudora Pro or The Bat! to access your POP mailboxes. We provide comprehensive instructions on setting up your mail software to retrieve messages from your POP accounts. Our customer support team is also available to assist if you run into problems while setting this up.

Will my server allow me to set up mailing lists?

Our Corporate Giant account comes with one Majordomo subscribable mailing list with up to 1,000 subscribers.

Majordomo is a program which automates the management of Internet mailing lists. Commands are sent to Majordomo via electronic mail to handle all aspects of list maintenance. Once a list is set up, virtually all operations can be performed remotely, requiring no intervention upon the postmaster of the list site.

Here's a short list of some of the features of Majordomo:

Supports various types of lists, including moderated lists
All list management activities are handled by email
Supports confirmation of subscriptions, to protect against forged subscription requests

How do I get unlimited email addresses @mydomain.com?

All you need to do is sign up with OemMail.com. They will then provide you with information about setting up your free web-based email service. OemMail.com will also give you details of the changes we need to make to your site's mail configuration so that you can use their free web-based email service to setup unlimited email addresses @you.com. You simply pass that information on to us and we will make the appropriate DNS changes for free. It's a simple process. Please note that if you use the unlimited email account system from OemMail.com then all your mail will be handled by the OemMail.com servers. That means that your POP accounts on our servers will no longer be active. Similarly, your email aliases, forwarding instructions and autoresponders will cease to operate. For more information about the services offered by OemMail.com please visit OemMail.com.

What are autoresponders?

Autoresponders are a great marketing tool and can save you time answering common questions. You can set up an autoresponder so that when a message is sent to, say, info@yourname.com, then your pre-written message is automatically returned to the sender. All our hosting packages allow you to set up an unlimited number of autoresponders.

Do your servers support IMAP?

Yes, you can use IMAP or POP to access your mail on our servers.
