A
POP3 mailbox is essentially a password protected
area on our server in which you store your mail.
POP3 mailboxes can be created and configured
using the Mailboxes page. The number of mailboxes
you can create depends on your hosting plan.

A Mailbox
To create a mailbox click 'Create Mailbox' on
the Mailboxes page. On the following screen
enter the name for the mailbox, this is the
part of the email address before the @ sign
which should be no more than 20 characters long
and may consist of lower case letters, numbers
and '.' only. Enter a password to be used to
access this mailbox which should be between
5 and 20 characters long and may consist of
letters and numbers only. Click 'Create Mailbox'
to create this mailbox on the system.
