How to Add Domain and Create New Email Account in MailEnable

Introduction

If you are setting up MailEnable for the first time, you will need to add a mail domain (PostOffice) and then create new email accounts for users. This step-by-step tutorial is designed for beginners, so you can follow along easily and complete the setup.

Steps to Add Domain and Email

Step 1: Open Messaging Manager

To start, log in to your MailEnable server.

• Locate the Messaging Manager in the left-hand navigation panel.
• Right-click on the Messaging Manager to open the available options.
  
  This is the starting point for adding a new PostOffice (mail domain).

Step 2: Create a New PostOffice (Mail Domain)

• Select Create PostOffice from the right-click menu.
• A dialog box will appear asking you to enter a PostOffice Name.
  • Example: If your domain is example.com, you can enter example.
    
• Click OK to confirm.

This step is important because the PostOffice is essentially the email domain where your new email accounts will be created.

Step 3: Add a New Domain to the PostOffice

• After creating the PostOffice, right-click on it.
• Select New Domain.
  
• Enter the full domain name (e.g., example.com).
• Click OK.

Now, your email domain is successfully added and ready to host mailboxes.

Step 4: Create a New Mailbox (Email Account)

To make a new email account, follow these steps:

• Select the domain you just created.
• Right-click on Mailboxes under the domain.
• Click New Mailbox.
  

Step 5: Enter Email Account Information

In the new mailbox dialog, enter the following:

• Mailbox Name: This will be the username before the “@” (e.g., john).
• Password: Enter a secure password for the mailbox.
• Mailbox Type: Choose the type of mailbox you need (e.g., Standard Mailbox).
  
  Click OK to save the new mailbox.

Step 6: Verify the New Email Account

To confirm the setup:

• Try logging in with the newly created email address (e.g., john@example.com).
• Use the password you assigned in the previous step.

If login is successful, your new email account is ready to use.

Conclusion

With these steps, you have learned how to:

• Create a PostOffice (mail domain) in MailEnable.
• Create email accounts under that domain.
• Successfully make a new email account that users can access.

This process allows you to manage multiple email domains and accounts efficiently on your MailEnable server.
