This page will help you add, delete, and edit domain e-mail
aliases using the MindSpring Control Panel. Domain e-mail aliases
are available under the following conditions:
-
The domain you are
using is not the primary domain of your Web Hosting Account. If
you wish to use e-mail aliases with your primary domain, please
use the Post
Office Manager available from the
MindSpring
Control Panel
.
-
You use MindSpring only for Domain Service and do
not have a Web Hosting Account.
Note: To access your Domain E-mail Alias Administration tool,
you need to login/re-login to the
Control
Panel
using your
Domain Name as the Username, and your
Domain Password as the password.
Example:
UserID or Domain: yourdomain.com
Password: xxxxxxxx
Note: An e-mail alias is not an actual e-mail address. In
order for you to set up an e-mail alias, you must have an active
mailbox either with MindSpring or with any other current Internet
Service Provider.
The Alias Tool
When you click on the link "Edit your e-mail aliases", you
will see something similar to the above page. If you have e-mail
alias/es already setup they will be displayed on this page.
To add some more aliases, please click on the button "Add".
After you click on "Add", this page will come up in your web browser.
Each line here represents one e-mail alias setup and consists of
three fields.
Adding E-mail Aliases
In the very first field you need to put in the name that you
want to use as your e-mail name with your domain name. Please note
that you do not need to put in your domain name since it is already
printed behind the first field. In the second field, you will need
to put the first part (everything before the "@" ) of your
actual e-mail address. Then, in the third field of the same line,
you will need to put the last part (everything after the "@" )
of your e-mail address.
For example, if you want to use "sales@yourdomain.com"
and forward all e-mail that is sent to that e-mail address to "yourmailbox@mindspring.com",
then you will put sales in the first field, yourmailbox in the second
field and mindspring.com in the third field.
After you finish adding all the aliases, please click on the
"Add Aliases" button on the bottom of the page and click on the
button "Back to Start" on the following page.
Add Alias Window With Aliases
After you click on "Back to Start", you should see a page
similar to the above in your web browser with all the e-mail aliases
that you just added.
Note: E-mail aliases that you add take effect approximately
two hours from the time of the edit.
Delete Alias Window
To delete any e-mail aliases, you would click on the button
"Delete" and you should see a page similar to the above in your
web browser. Select the ones that you want to remove from the alias
list by clicking on the button beside the numbers and then clicking
on "Delete Aliases". Then, on the next page, please click on "Back
to form".
In this example, the first e-mail alias was removed just by
selecting it and clicking on the "Delete Aliases" button.
Delete Alias Window with Deleted Alias
After you click on "Back to form", you will see the modified
list of aliases which does not show the deleted aliases anymore.
Edit Alias Window
If you need to edit any existing aliases, all you will need
to do is click on the "Edit" button and you will see a page like
the above.
Here you can change any of the fields to suit your needs.
It is very similar to the procedures for adding an alias. After
you are done with editing, click on "Edit aliases" and then click
on "Back to Start".
Alias Window After Editing
For example, here the "info" was changed to "service" using
the "Edit alias" option. After you click on the "Back to Start"
button, you will see the list of aliases with all the changes that
you just made.
Once you finish adding, deleting or editing your aliases,
you can exit the alias function by clicking on "Back to form" link.
Note: All E-mail alias edits take effect approximately two
hours from the time of the edit.
