Updating Email Account Settings

You can modify an email account's settings from either the Reseller Control Panel or the Mail Administration Console (MAC). Both interfaces let you edit user details, and each account keeps a history of the changes made to it.

About account changes

Email accounts are organized into editable sections, such as sending and receiving options, passwords, and forwarding. You edit a section, make your changes, and save. Every change is recorded in the account's history so you can review what was done, when, and by whom.

Warning: If you rename a user, all history associated with that user is deleted and cannot be recovered by the restore email tool or the restore contacts tool. The renamed account starts a new history from the rename date, and email and contacts can be restored only from that new history.

Step 1: Open the user in the Control Panel

Find the user you want to change in the Email section of the Reseller Control Panel.

  1. Sign in to the Reseller Control Panel.
  2. Click Email.
  3. Navigate to the user you want to modify and select the user. The User page opens to the User Settings tab.

Step 2: Edit and save the settings

Update only the sections you need to change.

  1. Click Edit in each section you want to change.
  2. Edit the related fields.
  3. Click Save.

Modifying user settings in the MAC

You can make the same changes in the MAC.

  1. Navigate to the MAC for your cluster. See which cluster your email services are on.
  2. Locate and select the user you want to modify. The User page opens to the User Settings tab. Use the tabs at the top to view additional fields.
  3. Modify the appropriate fields.
  4. Click Update.

Viewing user history

Each time an action is performed on a user account, an entry records the date and time, who initiated the action, and a brief explanation. You can review this history in either interface.

To view the history in the Control Panel:

  1. Sign in to the Reseller Control Panel and click Email.
  2. Navigate to the user.
  3. Scroll down to the Changes section.

To view the history in the MAC:

  1. Navigate to the MAC for your cluster.
  2. Locate the user.
  3. Click the user name, then select the History tab.
