The easiest way to set up an email account for a domain on your virtual dedicated server is using the Plesk control panel.
To Set Up Email Accounts for Your Domain in Plesk
- Log in to Plesk as admin.
- Open the Domain Administration page for the domain you want to add email accounts to.
- Click the Mail icon on the Domain administration page.
- In the Tools section, click Add New Mail Name.
- Enter a name for this email account. For example, jdoe@example.com.
- Enter a password for this email account.
- Select the Mailbox check box and specify the mailbox quota.
- Click OK.
Once you have created your email account, you can further customize the settings from within Plesk or connect to your account using an email client.
NOTE: Your POP3 and SMTP settings for this email account will be mail.example.com, where "example.com" is the name of your domain. Your incoming user name for the account is full_email_address@example.com. The outgoing (SMTP) server requires authentication and uses the same user name and password as the incoming (POP3) server.
For more information about setting up mail accounts in Plesk, you can take a look at the Plesk documentation on SWsoft's Web site.
