Managing Email Accounts, Settings, and Security
An email account (inbox) is an email address associated with a space where messages are sent and received. The messages present in an email account can be accessed and managed via the POP / IMAP and SMTP protocols or via the Webmail interface.
An email account must always be connected to a domain, so you must first activate a domain.
