 How do I create a POP account for a virtual host?

 
Answer
 
POP email accounts for your virtual host domain name accounts will have to be done by you with your control panel, or by your virtual host if they have a vpanel. Remember, since virtual hosts share your IP address and server space, they also share any usernames you set up in your control panel for POP accounts or aliases. To setup a POP email account for a Virtual Host, you can simply do the following:

  1. Enter the cpanel

  2. Find the "Add Accounts-pop/ftp" option under the "Manage Email Services" drop down menu, and click the "GO" button.

  3. Add a user for your customer. Give them whatever password and username they wish to have.

  4. Provide your customer with the username and password. If they are a Virtual Host, then their incoming and outgoing mail server for their POP email program would be their domain name. (i.e. virtual-domain.com, NOT smtp.virtual-domain.com or pop.virtual-domain.com).

  5. If usernames begin to conflict, then you will need to create "Advanced email for Virtual Hosts."
