Mail boxes in your WebAsyst account

When you sign up for a WebAsyst account you are offered to enter a name for your account in the registration form:

In the picture above myaccount is the account name, and the URL to access your account is: http://myaccount.webasyst.net.

By default, WebAsyst Mail allows creating email addresses hosted on the domain name of a WebAsyst account; e.g., alex@myaccount.webasyst.net. However, with any paid plan, you can create email addresses hosted on your own domain name; e.g., alex@mycompany.com. Such email addresses look more personalized and handy (e.g., for printing on a business card or publishing in advertising media).

How to create an email address hosted on your own domain name

1. Ensure that you have switched to any paid plan available for WebAsyst online services.
2. Register a domain name via WebAsyst online services. To do so, open the "Account" section by clicking on the corresponding link the top-right corner. Then click on "My Domains" and follow on-screen instructions.
3. Open WebAsyst Mail application, go to the "Inbox" folder, click on "Mail box", select the "Create new Email address on the WebAsyst mail server" option and choose the registered domain name in a drop-down list after the @ symbol.

Your WebAsyst Mail boxes are physically located on a dedicated WebAsyst mail server. Receiving and sending messages from these mail boxes is possible not only from within WebAsyst Mail interface, but also via POP3 and SMTP using various desktop client software; e.g., Thunderbird, Outlook Express.

Tip:  If you have set up your WebAsyst account to work on your own domain name which had been registered through a third-party company (registrar), then follow these instructions to create email addresses hosted on your domain name, see section "If the domain name was registered through a third-party registrar".
