Here are 5 simple steps to add a new email address to your hosting account:

1. First you will need to login to the control panel if you haven’t already done so. Your username and password are included in the “Domain Activation” email that was sent when you first signed up with OKPublic. If you didn’t receive it, please contact us and we’ll get the info out to your right away.
2. Click on the “Manage Accounts”
   
3. Click on the “Add Account” link.
   
4. Type in your desired email address and password for the new account. Then, if you’d like, you can set the quota to limit how much mail the new account can hold. If you’re not sure about this, then just leave this field blank for no quota.
5. Click on the “Create” submit button. You will see a screen that reads “Account Created.” Click on the “Go Back” link. You will now see the new account listed!

There are two ways to read and send emails with the new account:

1. Use the webmail client. To do so, go to http://www.okpublic.com/webmail/ and enter in the full email address and password of the account. You will have the opportunity to use three different mail clients; Horde, NeoMail or SquirrelMail. Each works very well but whereas Horde has many advanced features, NeoMail and SquirrelMail are a bit lighter and perhaps easier to use.
2. Setup a Email Client. You can also setup an email client like Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird to access your email. While viewing the list of email addresses in the control panel, click on the “Configure Mail Client” link to view the account information that you’ll need in order to setup access via an email client.
