This is the starting point for adding a new PostOffice (mail domain).

#### Step 2: Create a New PostOffice (Mail Domain) <a href="#step-2-create-a-new-postoffice-mail-domain" id="step-2-create-a-new-postoffice-mail-domain"></a>

* 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`.<br>

* Click **OK** to confirm.

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

* Enter the **full domain name** (e.g., `example.com`).

* Click **OK**.

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

Click **OK** to save the new mailbox.

#### Step 6: Verify the New Email Account <a href="#step-6-verify-the-new-email-account" id="step-6-verify-the-new-email-account"></a>

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.
