eVetsite III Email Setup and Administration

Each new eVetsite II now includes 10 email boxes with each account if we manage your domain name at Network Solutions (or if you have your domain name DNS servers pointing to our servers at ns1.evetsites.net).  Additional email boxes are available if needed.

E-mail setup and administration is located in the administration section of the website and is only available to the Administrator user.   

To access the webmail setup screens, from View or Edit Modes, first click on the Administration Icon to get to the Administration Home Page.  

Now click on the Mail Envelope Icon located in the Admin Control Panel at the top of the screen.

The Webmail administration screen appears which displays a list of Email Accounts that currently exist.

The Basic system allows for up to 10 email accounts per website and an unlimited number or email name aliases. 

To create a new account, click the Create Account button.

The Create an Account window opens.  

Enter the individual's name in the Account Name field.  This is for the Administrators reference only and may be typed in standard case (ex Jane Smith).  This name will not be the email address of the user. Enter the User Name.  The name should be all lowercase letters or numbers and may not contain spaces, special characters or punctuation.   This field cannot be edited as it will be used to establish the users Login ID into the webmail system and will also become a valid email address for the user.

Enter the Password.  The password should be all lowercase letters or numbers and may not contain spaces, special characters or punctuation.   (Note:  The user will be able to change his/her password to something unique once logged into the webmail system.)

When all fields are completed, please review carefully then press the Save Button.  As long as the User Name is unique in the email system, the newly created account will be saved and will now display in Your Email Accounts listing.

Now consider adding an "Auto responder".  This is a message that will be returned or sent back to the sender immediately after they click on the send button.  Auto responders are to instruct clients on what to expect in the way of a response, and when.

Clicking the Name will open the Account Details screen where you may make changes to the Account User, Password, Aliases, Features, and Account Settings.  Remember, the Account Name cannot be edited.   Note if Aliases are changed or removed, then senders of mail to these aliases will get their mail returned.  Modify and delete aliases with care.

You can also forward the email to another address if you want to consolidate your mail into one mail box to make checking email easier.

Once changes are made click the back to list link to return to the main list of email accounts.

 
To Delete an email account, Click the Delete Button.  This will bring up the Delete Account screen.  If the Delete Button on this screen is clicked, the email account will be deleted.  This will permanently remove all email from the webmail system for the user.  Use extreme caution when deleting an email account.

To check your email, go to the internet address  http://checkmymail.net and enter your email address and password.  This will bring up your individual mail box where you can read your email, create email, etc. and  set up other preferences including spam filters.
