Email Help For A Newbie

[lbluttrell]

Hi there! I am having trouble figuring out my email. I am completely new at this and am just trying to build my first site. I manage a friends site, and to check email, I can just go to mail.domain.com and log in. I would like to do that with the site I am trying to build. I have figured out how to get my site running, but everytime I go to mail.domain.com I get the message "There is no website configured at this address." So I'm guessing I have to configure something, but I don't know what or how... Thanks for your help! Lisa

 

PS. Sorry if this is a silly question, like I said, I'm REALLY new to this...

Hi Lisa,

 

Welcome to the forums

 

I assume you are trying to use webmail. If so then try;

 

www.domain.com/webmail

or

www.domain.com/sqmail

 

Login in using the full email address as the username, and the password.

Hi there! Thanks for the warm welcome and fast reply! I tried www.domain.com/sqmail and got a "page cannot be found" message. Should both ways work? Thanks! Lisa

Hi Lisa.

 

Welcome to the forums.

 

Be sure that when you go to "www.domain.com/sqmail" that you replace the "www.domain.com" part with YOUR domain information.

 

So if your website was: www.lbluttrel.com, you would go to www.lbluttrel.com/sqmail.

 

Often we just type "www.domain.com" to be a type of variable that means "your site."

 

You probably knew this, but since you said you were really new at this, I thought I might point that out just in case.

 

Welcome to the TCH family. If you have any additional questions, be sure to ask. We love to help.

I don't have /sqmail anymore. Did on my old server, but not on the new. Should probably stick with /webmail.

Open a ticket if you do not have /sqmail.
