POP3 (Post Office Protocol 3) is a protocol used for downloading email messages from an email server to your computer. With a POP3 email account, all of the email messages sent to your email address are stored on a POP3 mail server until you log on to the server and download the messages.

DVS provides POP3 email accounts with every hosting plan. You can use DVS’s Web-based email application, to download your messages from the server or you can use a traditional email client such as Microsoft® Outlook®, Eudora® or Netscape® Communicator.

Spam is the term used for mass, unsolicited emails. Usually these are promotions or advertisements sent in “bulk” to the email addresses of people who have not requested this information. DVS's strictly prohibits sending spam from any email address on our mail servers or advertising your Web site in other company's spam mail.

Email forwarding is a way for you to have email messages that are sent to one address automatically..

DVS provides unlimited use of email forwarding. You can set up different forwarding addresses in your web mail interface.

An email alias is a “virtual” email account. It enables you to use an email address that doesn’t really exist and have all the messages sent to that address routed to a real email account.

You can also use email aliases to overcome problems with duplicate email addresses. If the email address you want to use is already taken, you can still use it as an alias and then route the email to a valid address.

An email auto responder sends an automated email response to each incoming message that is sent to a specific address. For example, a potential customer may send an email to sales@yourdomain.com asking for more information about some of your products. You can have the auto responder send a prewritten message back to the customer thanking them for their interest and letting them know that a sales representative will be contacting them shortly. This feature helps you to improve your company’s image, as your customers will know right away that you have received their email and that you are responsive to their needs.

The number of different email accounts you can set up depends upon your hosting package. For example, some packages have as little as 5 accounts and some have 4000 email accounts. You can add additional email accounts to your plan as necessary, through the Control Panel.

When you first activate your DVS account, you can set up your email accounts in the Control Panel under Mail.
