  • What is a catchall e-mail account?

    For you to be able to use your Catchall account as it states in the "Catchall email" You need to have access your ISP's SMTP server. If you do then you can add an email profile in the Email Client of your choice: Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora etc. Then with the data provided in the Catchall Email you enter the required settings. POP Server, Username and Password (all from the Catchall Email) and SMTP server (from your ISP).

    In the end you should have two email accounts (or profiles) in your Email program: Your ISP's email and your CatchAll email.

    As mentioned in the Original Catchall Email : "I wish I could be an expert in the dozens of e-mail packages that are out there, but there's just too many of them. If you have any questions about how to use or configure your particular e-mail software, please check your software's help or contact the support department of the software company directly -- they will know your software much better than I could ever hope to. :-)"

  • How can I set up multiple email addresses?

    At this time, there is no multi pop account access. SBI! includes one Pop Account Catchall e-mail.

    It is a "Catchall" which means that even if your Catchall e-mail was name@domain.com, any e-mail address that is used containing your domain name (domain.com) would be received by your Catchall account. So if someone e-mailed info@domain.com or support@domain.com, you would receive it. (This is a great fail-safe. It's amazing how often e-mail bounces back to the sender because they typed the wrong e-mail address or because the e-mail address they were given -- or linked from -- had a typo in it, or simply doesn't exist.(No e-mail will ever be lost!)

    What you can do is have specific reply-to-addresses created from within your e-mail client and then set up filters (or rules) that sort the incoming e-mail. For example, you have your catchall e-mail address as name@domain.com, but you also want info@domain.com and support@domain.com, etc. By setting up separate folders and then filtering your incoming e-mail you can have any e-mail for support@domain.com go to a separate folder in your inbox and e-mail sent to info@domain.com sent to another folder.

    So with this you could set up your e-mail program to have a separate Inbox folders for the following e-mail addresses...
    sales@domain.com
    marketing@domain.com
    webmaster@domain.com
    support@domain.com
    mark@domain.com

    ... and then set up a 'rule' or 'filter' (depending on the program you use) to sort the e-mail that comes in to those specific e-mail addresses.

    Due out in late 2004 we will be adding the ability to add multiple pop accounts.
