example.com).Click OK.
Now, your email domain is successfully added and ready to host mailboxes.
Step 4: Create a New Mailbox (Email Account)

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.
