This area lets you set up email for the domain. You have four options, you can either add or modify a POP3 Mailbox, or, add or modify an Forwarder (Alias).

A POP3 Mailbox is an email account that you can send and receive mail through. This can be done using email software such as Microsoft's ‘Outlook’. You can Edit A POP3 Mailbox by selecting it from the list, or you can Add A New Mailbox from the option below.

A Forwarder is a virtual address that forwards the emails it receives to another address. You can Edit An Alias by selecting it from the list, or you can Add A New Mail Alias from the option below.

Both a POP3 box, and an Alias will be in the form of boxname@<your domain name>. e.g. sales@yourcompany.co.uk.
