envelopeHow to Add Domain and Create New Email Account in MailEnable

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.
