Enable or disable email services for a user

Depending on the type of user account, you can enable or disable certain services for your clients as a reseller. A list of services that can be enabled or disabled is as follows.

  • Send: Whether the user can send emails.
  • Receive: Whether the user can receive emails.
  • IMAP4: Whether the user can connect with an IMAP4 client.
  • POP3: Whether the user can connect with a POP3 client.
  • Webmail: Whether the user can receive mail through Webmail.
  • Webmail send: Whether the user can send mail through Webmail.

  2. Click on the user name. The user page opens, displaying the User settings tab.

  7. For Login via webmail, and Send via webmail, use the drop-down lists to set the service to Enabled, Disabled, or Suspended.
    • Enabled: The service is available to this user.
    • Disabled: The service is not available to this user.
    • Suspended: The service is not currently available to the user, and can only be re-enabled by an administrator at a level equal to or higher than the one who suspended the user. The most common reason that an account is suspended is an AUP violation for exceeding the spam threshold that was set by the service provider.

    • disabled: The service is disabled for the user.
