What is a Mail box?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A mail box is storage for your emails.\u00a0 When mail is sent to an email address it will ultimately end up in a mail box where it will stay until it is read by the mail box owner.<\/p>\n

A mail box can store more than one message and can become full unless it is read regularly and managed by the owner.\u00a0 Normally, this cleaning is done by the owner’s mail reader when they read their email.<\/p>\n

Each mail box has associated with it a primary email address.\u00a0 The mailbox is accessed by the mail reader supplying a user name and password and also a protocol.\u00a0 The protocol can be either ‘POP3’ or ‘IMAP’.\u00a0 Most mail readers support these protocols.\u00a0 The protocols are simply a defined way to retrieve, store and manage the contents of the mail box.\u00a0 Each protocol has its own set of advantages and disadvantages.\u00a0 Our systems support both protocols and is down to the individual user to decide what is best for them.<\/p>\n

Once a mail box has been created, users can also send electronic mail from our servers using the primary address of the mail box.\u00a0 For example, if we create a mail box with a primary address of ‘example@iirc.co.uk’ then emails to ‘example@iirc.co.uk’ will be stored in that mail box until read.\u00a0 The user of that mail box will also be able send mails from ‘example@iirc.co.uk’.<\/p>\n

A mail box can also have other mail addresses associated with it, which are known as ‘Aliases’.\u00a0 For example, our primary mail box of example@iirc.co.uk could also be known as ‘another_example@iirc.co.uk’, ‘yet another_example@iirc.co.uk’ and ‘how_many_more_examples_do_you_want@iirc.co.uk’ for example \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

We charge for the primary address, we do not charge for the aliases.\u00a0 If you have a mail box with no aliases it will cost the same as a mail box with ten aliases.<\/p>\n

Our systems support alias authentication so if you have an alias with your mail box, you will be able to send emails using that alias address as the sender.\u00a0 This is useful where you want to be able to send email from a range of addresses, e.g. ‘sales@…’ or ‘support@…’ but only have one mail box.<\/p>\n

Aliases are quite powerful, you can also have aliases that do not go to your mail box.\u00a0 They can go to other aliases or other mail boxes or email addresses.\u00a0 You could have ten mail boxes for ten employees and have an alias ‘sales@…’ that delivered mail to all of the employees.\u00a0 If you are using gmail or hotmail for example, you can have an alias pointing to your gmail account and also your mail box so that mail to that alias goes to your mail box and to your gmail account.<\/p>\n

Mail boxes cost \u00a312.00 each per year + VAT. or \u00a310.00 each per year + VAT for 5 or more.<\/p>\n

Normally, there is no charge to set up an alias however we reserve the right to charge for ridiculous usage – e.g. you want more aliases than is reasonable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
