What are POP accounts, E-mail Forwarding, Aliases, Exploders, and AutoResponders?

Here's a brief overview of your mail setup options:

POP mailbox accounts
You can have mailboxes which store the mail on our servers and let you connect with a mail client to download the mail to your computer. These are referred to as POP mailbox accounts. Note that your Internet provider will usually provide you with one of these mailboxes when they give you your account.

E-mail Forwarding
If you would like one or more addresses at your domain forwarded to an existing mailbox (maybe the one you have which your Internet provider gave you), we can do that too.

E-mail Aliasing
If you would like one or more addresses at your domain to go to one POP mailbox account at our servers, they're called "aliases", as the one POP mailbox account would have all of those names. For this we would need one password (for the one POP account).

Exploders
An Exploder is like an E-mail distribution center where the email sent to one alias at your domain will be forwarded to multiple recipients. This service is equivalent to a small mailing list which allows up to 16 recipients per exploder.

AutoReponders
An AutoResponder is a setup where you can have our system automatically reply to an incoming E-Mail message with a message you customize on your own. This sort of setup is handy for an automatic, quick thank-you note to customers who send an E-Mail to your "orders" E-Mail address, or for automatically replying to people when you're away on vacation, etc. The AutoResponder also sends you a copy of the incoming E-Mail so you can reply personally, track orders, etc.

We can also do combinations of the above. There is no limit on aliases or forwardings. With an EZsite, you have 10 free POP mailbox accounts. With a POWERsite, you have 20 free POP mailbox accounts. If you'd like more than the number of free POP accounts associated with your account type, each additional is $2/month. There is no charge for any other setup.

Please feel free to contact Internet Web Gateway Support if you have any additional questions.
