Establishing professional email addresses that align with your domain name (e.g., contact@yourdomain.co.uk, support@yourdomain.co.uk) is a crucial step in building a credible online presence for your business or personal brand. Online Audience provides the StackCP control panel, which offers a straightforward and user-friendly interface for creating and managing these email accounts. This tutorial will guide you through the process of setting up your professional email address using your Online Audience StackCP account.

Accessing the Email Accounts Section in StackCP (Online Audience):

Once you have logged into your StackCP control panel provided by Online Audience, you'll need to locate the email management section. This is typically found in the main navigation menu or on the dashboard. Look for an option labeled:

  • Email Accounts
  • Email
  • Mailboxes

Click on this section to access the email account management interface.

Creating a New Email Account:

On the "Email Accounts" page, you will likely see a list of any existing email accounts associated with your domains hosted with Online Audience. To create a new email address, look for a button or link that says:

  • Create Email Account
  • Add Email Account
  • New Account
  • A plus (+) icon

Click on this button to begin the process of setting up your new email address.

Configuring Your New Email Account:

You will now be presented with a form where you need to specify the details for your new email account. Here's a breakdown of the typical fields you'll encounter:

  • Email Address/Username: This is the part of your email address that comes before the "@" symbol. Choose a professional and easily recognizable name, such as your name, a department (e.g., sales, marketing), or a general contact address (e.g., info, hello). Use the dropdown menu to select the correct domain name if you have multiple domains hosted with Online Audience. For example, if your domain is onlineaudience-example.co.uk, you would enter the desired prefix (like contact) and select @onlineaudience-example.co.uk.
  • Password: This is essential for the security of your email account. Create a strong and unique password that includes a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. 1 StackCP often includes a password generator tool that can help you create a secure password. Make sure to copy and store this password in a safe place. Some systems might allow you to set a password strength level.  
  • Password Confirmation: You will usually be asked to enter the password again to ensure you have typed it correctly.
  • Mailbox Quota/Storage Limit: This setting determines the maximum amount of disk space that will be allocated to this email account for storing emails and attachments. Consider your expected email volume when setting this. Online Audience may offer specific storage limits depending on your hosting plan. You might be able to enter a specific number in megabytes (MB) or gigabytes (GB), or there might be predefined quota options to choose from.
  • Create Account (or similar button): Once you have filled in all the required fields, click the button to finalize the creation of your new email account. You should receive a confirmation message indicating that the email account has been successfully created.

Accessing Your New Email Account:

With your new professional email address set up, you'll need to know how to access and manage your emails. StackCP, through Online Audience, typically provides a couple of ways to do this:

  • Webmail: This allows you to access your email through a web browser. On the "Email Accounts" page in StackCP, you should see an option next to your newly created email account, such as "Check Email," "Webmail," or an icon that looks like an envelope. Clicking this will usually take you to a webmail portal. You will then need to log in using your full email address (you@yourdomain.co.uk) and the password you created. Common webmail interfaces include Roundcube, Horde, and SquirrelMail. Explore the features of the webmail client to send, receive, and manage your emails.
  • Email Client Configuration: You can also configure your new email account with desktop email clients (like Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, Apple Mail) or mobile email apps on your smartphone or tablet. To do this, you will need specific server settings. These settings are usually provided by Online Audience or can be found within the StackCP email account management section (look for options like "Email Client Configuration," "Mail Settings," or "Connect Devices"). You will typically need the following information:
    • Incoming Mail Server (POP3 or IMAP): The server address for receiving emails (e.g., mail.yourdomain.co.uk). IMAP is generally recommended as it synchronizes emails across multiple devices.
    • Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): The server address for sending emails (e.g., mail.yourdomain.co.uk).
    • Username: Your full email address (you@yourdomain.co.uk).
    • Password: The password you set for the email account.
    • Port Numbers: Specific port numbers for incoming (POP3: 110, IMAP: 143 or 993 with SSL) and outgoing (SMTP: 25, 465 with SSL, or 587 with TLS) servers.
    • Security Type: The encryption method used (usually SSL/TLS).

Follow the setup instructions provided by your chosen email client and use these settings to configure your account.

Creating professional email addresses with Online Audience's StackCP is a simple yet impactful way to enhance your online communication and brand identity. Take the time to set up the necessary accounts and configure your preferred method of accessing your emai
