Mail Forwarding

Mail forwarding allows for mail sent to a specific Webnames hosted email address (i.e. you@yourdomain.ca) to be forwarded to one or more additional email addresses.

Mail forwarding is configured within our Mail Administrator interface.

To manage your domain's email accounts:

• Log into your Webnames.ca account
• Navigate to My Account > Email Accounts
• Click the domain name for which you want to add/edit email accounts.
• On the current Email tab, under the Actions heading, click the Log In button beneath Email Administration to access the Email Administration portal.
• Click Mail Accounts.

From here you can add new email accounts, as well as update account settings, delete, or change passwords for existing email accounts.

Alternate recovery mail addresses can also be specified for each account. In the case of a forgotten email password, users can have their password be sent to them via the alternate recovery mail address.

NOTE:When creating new email accounts, current password requirements are: Minimum 8 characters, containing both uppercase and lower case characters, as well as at least 1 numeric character

The Email Administration interface can also be accessed directly via https://mailadmin.webnames.ca. The password for accessing this interface directly is set at the bottom of the Email Settings tab noted above.

Mail Forwarding is found under the Update Account button

Enter an email address to which email will be forwarded to. To forward to multiple email addresses, enter each address on a separate line.

• If desired, check Keep a copy to retain a copy of the forwarded email within the email account being managed
• Check the Activate mail forwarding box
• Click Save Changes when done

NOTE: If retaining a copy of each email within the account being managed, be aware of disk space being consumed and consider emptying out old or unneeded emails via webmail on a periodic basis. Accounts which go over quota are suspended.
