Email Functions

POP3 Accounts

Email accounts & aliases vary with each package taken.

Every email account has a default "catch all" i.e. anything@yourdomain.co.uk will be received.

Email Aliases

Email aliases allow you to create an alias that either redirects the message to a POP3 account within the same domain, or to another POP3 account in a different domain.

Examples:

• sales@yourdomain.co.uk automatically redirects to general@yourdomain.co.uk
• sales@yourdomain.co.uk automatically redirects to 1234@myispaccount.co.uk

Autoresponders

An autoresponder is a special email address that is programmed to return a specified text file to the sender of the email, and post the original message to a specified email address. For example you could create an autoresponder with the address info@yourdomain.co.uk, the sender of a email to this address would receive an email (automatically, by return) of your message.

Email Administration

You can control your own POP3 and forwarding Email accounts, through your Control Panel - Login

HTTPMail Service

MailEnable is one of the first mail servers to supply a HTTPMail server component. HTTPMail is a relatively new protocol for the server hosted messaging services. Fundamentally, HTTPMail provides an alternative to using POP and SMTP, with the added benefit of allowing messages to be hosted on the server (rather than downloaded onto the client). Further to this, using HTTPMail, you can move messages between your server and local stores as you desire.

HTTPMail utilises WebDAV HTTP Extensions to provide remote access to server hosted mail folders using standard HTTP communication. This service is a major value add to MailEnable because it allows mail messages to be hosted on the server and provides tight integration with Outlook 2002 and Outlook Express.

MailEnable Anti-Virus

MailEnable COM Component
