Account Modifications Password changes, aliases, forwarding, etc. are all performed from the mailboxes page. Click a mailbox name to begin editing.
Adding Aliases Aliases are additional email addresses that can be added to an existing account. Jim Jones email address is jjones@exch.mystafford.net. If he also wanted to be known as jim@ or jones@ this is where you would add those properties. Another reason you might want to add an alias is if you have multiple domains. If your organization has multiple domain names such as exch.mystafford.net and demo.staffordnet.com you may want to have Jim Jones accessible from both domains. In this instance you would add an alias for each domain. 1. From the Edit Mailbox page, click E-mail Addresses 2. Type the name of the alias you would like to create and select the appropriate domain name from the drop down. Then click Add E-mail Address.
3. As previously mentioned, to create aliases for additional domain names, drop down the box and select the domain. To add domain names to your account please contact us at hosting@staffordnet.com. 4. To remove an alias, simply check the box next to the address and click Delete Selected E-mails
Primary E-mail Addresses Your primary e-mail address has two purposes. It is the email address you would use to login to your email and it is also the email address recipients will see when you send them a message. You can change your primary at any time, however any mobile devices will need to be updated with the new username. 1. To change your primary email address, check the box next to the address and then click Set As Primary 2. A primary email address cannot be deleted. To remove that email address you must first set another email address as primary.
Mailbox Quotas Mailbox quotas are created based off of your primary hosting plan. If you purchase additional space you will have to increase the space on a per mailbox basis. Quotas are set in kilobytes but are sold in gigabytes. The table below shows purchased price to the suggested KB values to use in the quota section we suggest these numbers to give users fair warning without immediate disruption. There are three fields, issue warning, prohibit send, prohibit send and receive. When the issue warning quota is met the user will get an email every 24 hours until corrective action is taken. If the prohibit quotas are met mail flow will be disrupted. Suggested Quota Sizes Package Size Issue Warning (KB) Prohibit Send (KB) Prohibit Send/Receive (KB) (GB) 1 972800 1003520 1048576 5 4980736 5085593 5242880 25 25690112 26004684 26214400 Setting quotas can be done from the Advanced tab when editing mailboxes. 1. Click the Advanced tab 2. Set the appropriate mailbox quotas

Click Distribution Lists from the menu on the left, then Create New Distribution List
2. Enter the Display Name and E-mail Address for your new distribution list, then click the address book icon to choose a manager. 3.
