Email Management¶
Email management allows you to create mailboxes, set up forwarders, configure autoresponders and adjust spam settings.
Mailboxes¶
Overview¶
The mailbox table shows all your email accounts:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Email Address | Full email address (e.g. info@my-site.com) |
| Domain | Associated domain |
| Quota | Storage limit of the mailbox |
| Status | Active or Disabled |
Create Mailbox¶
- Click Create Mailbox
- Fill out the form:
| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Local Part | Yes | The part before the @ (e.g. info) |
| Domain | Yes | The domain for the email address |
| Password | Yes | Password for the mailbox |
| Quota (MB) | No | Storage limit in megabytes |
- Click Create
Secure Passwords
Use a strong password with at least 12 characters, uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers and special characters.
Change Password¶
- Click the edit icon next to the mailbox
- Enter the new password
- Click Save
Delete Mailbox¶
- Click the delete icon next to the mailbox
- Confirm the deletion
Irreversible
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.):
IMAP (recommended)¶
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Server | mail.your-domain.com |
| Port | 993 |
| Encryption | SSL/TLS |
| Username | Full email address |
| Password | Your mailbox password |
SMTP (Outgoing)¶
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Server | mail.your-domain.com |
| Port | 465 (SSL/TLS) or 587 (STARTTLS) |
| Encryption | SSL/TLS or STARTTLS |
| Username | Full email address |
| Password | Your mailbox password |
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¶
- Switch to the Forwarders tab
- Click Create Forwarder
- 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 |
- Click Create
Delete Forwarder¶
- Click the delete icon next to the forwarder
- 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¶
- Click on a mailbox
- Switch to the Autoresponder tab
- 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 |
- 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¶
- Switch to the Spam Settings tab
- Select the desired domain
- 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 |
- 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.
