About your company's Main (default)
Email Account
Your company has a main user, which is the default user. This is the
Master Email account, which has a master Password. This password should
be only given to your System Administrator, or other high level staff
people. This password controls access to the Hosting
Sherpa which controls all of your company's Email accounts.
You can create "mail accounts" for all your company's people,
using the Hosting Sherpa.
Each person at your company can have an Email account. You also have
the Default Email, which will receive any Email sent to your company
that is not to addressed to an individual user. This is useful, because
you can have mail sent to
info@yourwebsite.com,
sales@yourwebsite.com,
support@yourwebsite.com,
or whatever you want and these accounts do not need to actually exist,
because ANY mail to ANYTHING@yourwebsite.com will all go to the
default user.
Also if someone spells an address wrong example johnnn@yourwebsite.com,
will go to default mail account.
