There are several ways of accessing your email account. You can either access email by using the SmarterMail web interface, or you can use an email client such as Microsoft Outlook, or Thunderbird. If you choose to use an email client, you will need to configure it so that it knows what SMTP servers to use for sending messages and what POP servers to use for receiving them. This guide will show you how to set up the web interface email, email client, and the option of using an alias address.

Web Interface Setup

The welcome email you received when you first opened your account contains your login credentials for accessing your email. Once you retrieve this:

1. Login to your email administrator. You can go to https://mail.3dcartstores.com. If your site is already live, then the address should be https://mail.yordomainname.com

2. Select your theme, time zone and regional settings.

3. And allow browser notifications

4. Click OK to proceed.

Creating Users

An email user is an email address @yourdomain. Email user accounts typically require a user [email protected] followed by a password for login. For all intents and purposes, an email user is its own mailbox account on your domain.

To create an Email User address:

1. Click on the Domain Settings button.
2. Then click on Accounts
3. Click on New to set up a new user for the email account.

4. Type in the new Username and password for this new user and click Save.

Upon saving the email account, you will be taken to its settings page where you can further configure the user acocunt. For example, you can make the user account an administrator account and change the mailbox size as needed.

5. Modify the mailbox size limit to your needs – there is a limit of 500 MB per domain.
6. Click Save.

7. Repeat this process for as many users as you want on this email account.

Forwarding Mailbox Messages

When setting up user accounts, you can also elect to have incoming messages to those mailboxed forward to another email address.

By setting this up, messages sent to the address @yourdomain will get received by the mailbox, and then passed along to the other email address you specify.

To set this up:

1. Add the email address that you'd like to have messages forwarded to in the "Forwarding Address" section shown above.
2. Set the Forward Method. Your options are:
   • Normal
     The message is simply passed along unchanged.
   • Text
     The message is stripped of images and HTML and sent simply as a text version of the email
   • Embed As Attachment
     The messages is embedded as an attachment file when forwarded
3. Save your settings

Creating Aliases

An email alias is an email address that forwards messages to a list of email addresses. For example, let's say you setup [email protected] as an alias. You can make it so that any email message that gets sent to [email protected], gets forwarded to a list of other email addresses, such as your personal email address and personal email addresses of anybody that is on your sales team. To create an Alias email address:

1. Click on the Domain Settings button.
2. Click on the Accounts menu
3. Click on the Aliases tab
4. Select New.

6. Type in the name of the alias address in the Name field. For example: marketing for [email protected]
7. Type in the email addresses you would like the messages forwarded to in the Email Address field.

8. Click Save

Your Email Alias is set up. Add as many as you'd like.

Email Client Setup

To set up email access on an email client, you will need the email account's login information as well as the incoming and outgoing mail server information required to connect.
