Email Management

Email management allows you to create mailboxes, set up forwarders, configure autoresponders and adjust spam settings.


Mailboxes

The mailbox table shows all your email accounts:

  2. Enter the new password

Deleting a mailbox permanently removes all emails in that mailbox.


Set Up Email Clients

Use the following settings in your email client (Thunderbird, Outlook, Apple Mail, etc.):

Setting Value
Server mail.your-domain.com
Port 993
Encryption SSL/TLS
Username Full email address
Password Your mailbox password

SMTP (Outgoing)

Webmail

You can also read your emails directly in the browser via Roundcube Webmail. The link to Roundcube can be found in the panel settings, or contact your hosting provider.


Forwarders

Forwarders redirect incoming emails to another address.

Create Forwarder

  1. Switch to the Forwarders tab
  2. Click Create Forwarder
  3. Fill out the form:
Field Required Description
Source Yes The email address to be forwarded
Destination Yes The target email address(es)
Keep Copy No Also keep the email in the local mailbox
  1. Click Create

Delete Forwarder

  1. Click the delete icon next to the forwarder
  2. Confirm the deletion

Catch-All

A catch-all catches all emails sent to non-existent addresses on your domain. To set this up, create a forwarder with * as the source address.

Spam Risk

Catch-all addresses can lead to increased spam, as emails to random addresses will also be delivered.


Autoresponder (Out-of-Office)

The autoresponder automatically sends a predefined reply to incoming emails — ideal for vacation notifications.

Set Up Autoresponder

  1. Click on a mailbox
  2. Switch to the Autoresponder tab
  3. Fill out the form:
Field Required Description
Active Yes Enable or disable the autoresponder
Subject Yes Subject line of the automatic reply
Message Yes Text of the automatic reply
Start Date No When the autoresponder should become active
End Date No When the autoresponder should deactivate
  1. Click Save

Set a Time Range

Use start and end dates so the autoresponder activates and deactivates automatically — so you don't forget to turn it off after your vacation.


Spam Settings

You can adjust the spam filter sensitivity per domain.

Change Settings

  1. Switch to the Spam Settings tab
  2. Select the desired domain
  3. Adjust the settings:
Setting Description
Spam Threshold Score above which an email is marked as spam (lower = stricter)
Spam Action What happens with detected spam: Mark, move to spam folder or delete
  1. Click Save

Recommended Values

The default threshold is 5.0. A value below 3.0 may cause legitimate emails to be classified as spam. Increase the value if too many emails are incorrectly marked as spam.
