Each of our webhotell comes with the option to deploy at least one mailbox based on your own domain address, as well as an unlimited number of different email controls. However, to use email, you must first create the email address of your choice in the Plesk admin panel.
First, log in to the Plesk admin panel (and if necessary, select the web host you want from the 'Subscription' menu if you have more than one account). You can then create a new email account from the main menu under 'Email' -> 'Create email address'. If your webhost already has email addresses created, they will also be listed in the view on this page and their settings can be edited by clicking on the name of the email box.
After selecting 'Create email address' you can configure the settings for your email account as follows:
- Enter the first part of the email address you want to use (for example, 'firstname.lastname' or 'nickname') in the field provided under Email address. The rest of the address will be automatically determined by your primary domain (and if you have parallel domains, the corresponding email addresses based on those domains will also work automatically)
- By ticking the 'Access to Client Panel/Asiakaspaneeliin pääsy' checkbox, the email user will also have the possibility to log in to the same Plesk admin panel using the email address and password now created as a password. In this case, the email user can manage his/her own holiday account and change his/her password. Please also enter the password in the fields 'Password/Salasana' and 'Confirm password/Vahvista salasana'.
- By ticking the 'Mailbox/Postilaatikko' box, a disk space is connected to the email address, where incoming emails are stored. It is also possible to limit the default size to a smaller size here, if you want to make a mailbox smaller than the maximum allowed size for one of your users.
If you still want to add parallel email addresses that will automatically redirect to the same mailbox you are creating, you can do this by clicking on the 'Email aliases/Sähköpostin aliakset' tab and entering the email addresses you want here:
You can add more than one parallel address by clicking on 'Add an email account/Lisää sähköpostialias'. Finally, press OK and the email address in the mailbox is created.
