How do I create an e-mail account in my 1&1 package?


To create an e-mail account in your 1&1 package, log into your Control Panel and select the package you wish to create an e-mail account for.
1&1 E-mail supports POP3/IMAP protocols, giving your total control over your mails.



From the main Control Panel click on the e-mail icon.



Click Create a new to start the process of creating a new e-mail address.



Enter the local part of the e-mail address you want to create. This could be your name or a department
or label which you want people to send mail to.

So in this example e-mail address will be "steve.trent".



Next you will need to select the type of account this can be either Mailbox or Forward, for POP3 or
IMAP you need to pick "Mailbox".



The Account name displayed is your Mailbox name.

Enter the password. Your password should be at least 7 characters long.

Please note
This password will not be displayed anywhere else. Please make a note of it.


Additional accounts can be created by selecting "Add another mailbox or forward?". You can choose to create
more than 1 mailbox for a single account. This is useful when you want the mail to be directed to various
accounts in the company.
For example: You may want the order to be sent to the sales department, package department and
book keeping department.

Step 4: Click 'Save'.

Tip
Your e-mail account will not be created unless you click the 'Save' button.


Once you have completed the e-mail setup you will be shown a brief overview with all the server and
account details you will need to access the e-mailbox.



Please note
It will take approximately 3 hours once you have created your e-mail address and mailbox
before you will be able to send and receive mail.
