How do I activate my E-mail services?

I. To activate your Email services, please ensure that:

1. Your domain is registered and pointing to the Netfirms nameservers ns1.netfirms.com and ns2.netfirms.com
2. You have allowed the standard 24-72 hours for propagation of your domain after pointing your domain to Netfirms nameservers

II. To create an email account, please follow these steps:

1. Login to your Netfirms Members Control Panel at https://controlpanel.netfirms.com
2. Click E-mail
3. Click E-mail Accounts
4. Click Add
5. Follow the onscreen prompts to create an email account and password for your domain name
6. Click Add

NOTE: The number of accounts you can create is dependant upon which plan you are on.

After you have created the email accounts you can start using them with either:

(a) a POP client (eg. Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, Netscape Mail)

or

(b) by accessing the Netfirms Webmail system at http://webmail.netfirms.com or webmail.yourdomain.com (where yourdomain is your registered domain hosted by Netfirms).

NOTE: After following the above steps, if you are not receiving messages to your inbox, we suggest that you check your filters to see if messages are being auto-filtered to another folder (eg. spam, junk, or bulk folder).
