Email

1. What is an email alias?
An email alias simply forwards email messages to another email address. Your alias will not have its own storage space, username, or password like a real email address, and must be associated with another email address. Email aliases have the advantage of sending to more than one address. You can use an alias to distribute email messages to a group of people.

2. How many email accounts am I allowed to have?
We will allow you to have a maximum of unlimited email addresses.

3. How much space for the email account ? How it was calculated ?
Users could make use of our Mailenable software which offers a web-based interface to allocate quota for each user account with the maximum total not exceeding the size allowed under the plan.

4. What is Forwarders and Autoresponders?
A forwarder is a email redirect tools that will redirect your email to another mail account e.g. abc@hotmail.com. Each email account could setup its forwarders.Autoresponders is an automatic email that will send an email to the sender immediately notifying him that the email was received. The autoresponders is configurable.

5. What is POP3 and SMTP?
POP3 accounts are email accounts that you can receive email from your visitors on the Internet. They allow you to receive email only. POP3 accounts come with their own username and password to access them. With POP3 email, you can create a very well organized site with different POP3 accounts for different areas of your web pages. Incoming mail server (POP3): mail.yourdomainname.comFor example, if your domain name is "abc.com", your incoming mail server name will be "mail.abc.com".We do not provide SMTP, client can use the SMTP provided from their ISP.Some of the SMTPs are as follows:Netviagator (mail.netvigator.com)i-Cable (smtp.i-cable.com)Hutchison (smtp.hutchcity.com)HKBroadBand (smtp.hkbn.net) HKNet (smtp.hknet.com)PacificNet (smtp.pacific.net.hk)

6. Will I need to pay for exceeding email quota?
No, you don't need pay for over-quota storage. Once the storage quota is exceeded, you cannot receive email until the quota is big enough to receive new emails. The sender will receive an email notification advising the sender that the account is over-quota.
