How much is a
POP email account on my domain name?
We sell POP3 email boxes by packages of 10 called Email Paks.
Each Email Pak is $14.95 per year per domain name through our
Premium Account and only $9.95 through our Reseller Account. You
get to use the entire Email Pak under one domain name at a time.
This is the same price that we used to charge per mailbox. You
now get 9 mailboxes for free.
All I need is one POP email account, can I buy just one?
If you just need one, buy an Email Pak and use only one mailbox.
Can I split the mailboxes I get with one Email Pak into
several for multiple domains?
Ex: 5 mailboxes for example.com and 5 mailboxes for example.net.
No, each Email Pak is purchased and managed from only one domain
at a time.
I purchased an Email Pak and have set up a user. How do I
set-up my email software (email client, like Microsoft Outlook
or Netscape)?

How do I set-up my online email account? Your "webmail"
is created as soon as you create a mailbox in an Email Pak. All
settings are automatically configured and you are ready to go
online, login to your account and start sending/receiving email.
How do I login to my online email account (Webmail)? You
first type into your browser this URL: webmail.(the domain you
use for this particular email account)

login with the particular email address you want to use (in this
example "info@example.com") and type in the password.
