About The Email Center

---Back---

Issuing your own e-mail addresses is another powerful function of your Web Center.  You are able to create additional e-mail addresses for your website, such as support and sales e-mails, or you can offer your customers e-mail addresses with your domain name extension.  If you have your own unique domain name you have a choice.  You can either issue e-mail addresses with the third party domain given to you when your website was initially activated or with your own domain name.

Creating an Email Address

To create an email address, simply enter the email, select the domain from the drop down menu, and type in the password. Once you are done, select ‘Create Email’.  To edit or delete an email account, simply click the ‘Edit’ or ‘Delete’ button next to that account. To login to a specific email account, select the login button next to that account and enter your password in the appropriate field.

Using Email

 Compose

Compose:  When sending an email message, you would first fill in the complete email address to whom you are sending the message.

To:  The Data Text Enter Window
Example:  bob@webmail9.wazzu.com

CC:  Is an acronym for Courtesy Copy and is a directive to the email program to send a complete copy of a given piece of email to another individual. The use of CC email addressing, as opposed to directly addressing the email to a person, generally
implies that the recipient is not required to take any action; the message is for
informational purposes only. In a CC email directive, the fact that this recipient
received the email is printed in the email  header and is thus known to all other
recipients.

BC:  Is an acronym for Blind Courtesy
Copy and is a feature of email programs that  allows a user to send a copy of an email message to a recipient without notifying other recipients that this was done. Generally, the recipient's address is entered into a field called "BC:" in the email header.

 

Subject:  The title of the email that is being sent.

Example:  Appointment Confirmed

Attachment:  An ASCII text file or a binary file, such as a document created in a word processing system that is included with an email message as an attachment.

The file is not part of the actual email message, and it is generally encoded using UUENCODE, MIME, or BIN HEX. Most email programs automatically encode an attached document for transmission with a message. The recipient of the message must have an email program capable of decoding the attached document or use a separate utility to decode it in order to read the document.

Address Book:  In this email program, a reference section listing email addresses and individuals' names as an informal email or URL phone book.

Spell Check:  An application that employs a disk-based dictionary to check for misspellings in a document.

Dictionary / Thesaurus:  An application that employs a disk-based listing of words to check for misspellings and word meanings in a document.

Send:  Once an email has been completed the author clicks the Send Button and the email message is sent to the recipient.

Save:  Prior to the author sending the email if he/she would like to keep a copy of for future reference and/or backup by clicking the Save Button.
