When you log into your Control Panel and click this feature from within your Mail Manager, a screen will pop up asking you to answer some simple questions that will configure the program for your use. After saving your answers, the mail program will start and you'll be taken to the screen that shows your Inbox.

NOTE: NeoMail will only accept mail sent to your default address, so be sure to type in your default address in the Reply-To box when configuring the program. If you use a different address, people will not be able to reply to your messages.

At the top of the screen you will find control panel icons as shown in the graphic below. Click on icons shown here for an overview of each tool.

Compose New Message
Choosing this option will open a screen for creating a new email message. The default information you entered in the configuration (the answers to the questions the program asked when you first started it) will appear in the correct boxes, so you only have to fill in two boxes: the email address of the person you want to send your message to, and the subject line.

Additional options include:

• CC
  This means Carbon Copy. Add additional addresses here if you want to send a copy of the email to more than one person. Separate addresses with a comma, but do not add a space between them:
  friend@email.com,friend2@email2.com.friend3@email3.com

• BCC
  This means Blind Carbon Copy. When you use the Carbon Copy option above, all the email addresses you entered will appear in the header of each recipient's message. You may not want all the addresses to show in the headers, either because you don't want the main recipient to know you are sending copies to others, or because you don't want to publish everyone's email address without their permission.

  If you don't want the email addresses to show, place them in the BCC box instead of the CC box. Add them the same way as before, separated by commas but without any spaces between.

• Attachment
  You can attach a file to your email message by clicking on the Browse button and choosing the file that you want to send. However, remember that many of the files on your computer are quite large in comparison to email messages. If the file is too big, the recipient's ISP my reject it, or the recipient may choose not to open it due to excessive download time.

You can add a signature to your your message by simply replacing the NeoMail message with one of your own. A signature is a short message that appears at the end of every email you send.

Links can be added to your signature by typing the full URL. For example:

NOTE: Do not use anchor tags. Just type the URL as illustrated above. Some older email programs can't translate clickable links. The recipient will be able to visit your site by using copy and paste to place the URL into their browser.

User Preferences
This option allows you to make changes to the preferences you entered when you accessed the program for the first time.

Simply make any changes you want, then click on the Save button at the bottom of the page.

NOTE: If you decide not to make any changes at this time, click the Cancel button at the bottom of the page rather than using your browser's back button. This will return you to the NeoMail program. If you use your browser's back button instead, you will be taken back to Email Manager main screen.

Address Book
Click on this button to add entries to your Address Book.

The address book provides you with a quick way to send mail. Just click on the Address Book icon and a list of names with email addresses will appear. Click on the email address of the person you wish to send a message to, and a new email message window will appear with their address already filled in.

Folders
This tool allows you to add folders to your NeoMail program so you can more easily organize your messages. For example, you may want to add a folder named Work and place all your work-related messages there.

When you click on the button, a box will appear where you can type a name for the new folder. Click on Add, then click the Back button on your browser a couple of times to get back to the main window. Then click the Refresh button, and the new folder name will appear in the drop down list of folders at the top of the NeoMail screen.

Empty Trash
This button empties the holding file where messages you have deleted are kept. It's a good idea to always empty this file before you close NeoMail.

Move to Folder
This tool allows you to move a message to any folder. Just choose the folder you prefer from the drop down menu and click the MOVE button.

To access messages in a given folder, choose the folder name in the drop down menu at the top left of the NeoMail screen.

Creating / Deleting Pop Email Accounts

To create a new pop email account click on Click Here To Add New Account. You will be taken to a new screen:

Type the username you want in the Email box, and the password you choose for this account in the Password box. Click Create and your new account will be activated.

In order to recieve mail sent to this address, you must set up the new account in the program you use for email. For example, if you access your email through your browser, you need to add this account to your browser's email program.

New accounts are added to email programs in various ways. If you are unfamiliar with how your email program works, you will need to access the support files for information on your particular program.

However, most programs will ask you for a username and two services. One service will be POP3 and the other is usually SMTP.

Type in the username that you chose for your new account. Type your domain name where it asks for your POP3 account. For example:yourdomain.com. Do not add your username in the POP3 box, just the domain name as illustrated.

SMTP is your ISP - the service you use to send email. You can not send email from the server that your domain is installed on. You can only receive mail through your domain server. Most programs just want you to type the domain name of your ISP, which is the last part of your email address: yourISP.com, where your email address is yourname@yourISP.com.

These are typical instructions for setting up a new email account. Your program may require something different. It is not possible for us to provide instructions for every possible configuration, nor provide support for your individual software. If you have problems, please contact your software provider for support.

To delete a pop account, click on Click Here To Delete Account, choose the address you want to delete from the drop down menu, and click the Delete button.

Default Email Account

---

Click this link to set the default email account. Your default email account is your "Catch All" email account. Any mail addressed to your domain that does not have an individual account set up for it will automatically go to this address.

You can change the username portion of your default address. Just click on Click Here to Change Default Address and type in the new address. Type the entire address: yourname@yourdomain.com. Then click Change.

Make sure you are using an account that actually exists. If the account doesn't exist, set it up using the Pop Email Accounts feature.

Setup Autoresponders

---

Auto-responders will automatically send an email for you. Autoresponsers are typically used to send information in response to a visitor's request.

For example, visitor's could click on a link that says Click Here to Recieve Special Report. When the visitor clicks on the link, their email program will open a new message addressed to your autoresponder. When they send the email, your autoresponder will reply by automatically sending your Special Report to the visitor.

To create an Autoresponder, just click on Click Here To Add AutoResponder.

In the Email box, type the username you choose for your Autoresponder. This will be the email address that visitor's click on to access the Autoresponder. If you think you may set up more than one Autoresponder, it is helpful to choose a username that is descriptive. For example, reportx. The mailto link you will place on your site will be reportx@yourdomain.com.

Fill in the From and Subject boxes, then place the information you want to send in the Body area. You can't use html tags in an Autoresponder. They will only accept plain text.

When you are finished, just click the Create button, and your Autoresponder is ready to go.

Block Unwanted Email

---

You can block unwanted email according to email address, subject, any header, recipient, or even phrases inside the body of the message.

Just use the drop down menus to choose what you want blocked. For example, you might want to filter out porn sites. You could choose Subject, Body or Any Header from the first drop down menu, and Contains from the second drop down menu. Then type a phrase or word that frequently appears in the header or body of email you recieve that promotes porn sites.

To block email from a specific source, just choose From in the first drop down menu, then Equals from the second menu. Type in the person's email address in the box and click Activate.

---

Email Forwarding

---

You can have any or all email addressed to your domain account forwarded to an outside email account or to a different email address within your domain.

Simply type the username of the address you want mail forwarded from in the first window, and the complete email address you want the mail forwarded to in the second window.

Remember, you can forward mail to any address, inside or outside of your domain. For example: yourmail@aol.com or yourmail@yourdomain.com.

To stop forwarding mail, simply choose the address you want to stop from being forwarded, and click on delete.

---

About Email Aliases

---

You never have to create email aliases. Your default email account is setup as a "Catch All" account, meaning that any email coming to anything@yourdomain.com is delivered to your default account.
