Hi - I'm brand new to Zoho and learning how to use it.
So far only the first half of setting up mail hosting was easy. I signed up for a Zoho account a little while ago. Today, I added my (existing) domain by going into "Control Panel" and "Domains", then I verified using the CNAME method. I waited over an hour, and clicked verify.
That worked - there's a green check and "Verified" in the Status column for my domain name in the list of Domains in the Control Panel. In the Mail Hosting column for my domain, there's an envelope with a green arrow on it, so I assume Mail Hosting is enabled for my domain.
When I click "User Details" in Control Panel, my account name appears there.
When I click "Mail accounts" under "Mail administration", I see
"Not a business account. Choose to create a new one as default."
I read the help files and see the next 3 steps are:
- Add/Import Users
- Create Email Accounts for the users
- Modify MX Records in the domain host DNS panel. Point MX Records to the following Zoho IPs:
But, the help file doesn't provide links within it to take me to whatever I'm supposed to do next, nor does it describe or provide screenshots of where to find each of the three above items within the web-based UI.
What do I click on next, and what am I'm supposed to do when I get there, e.g. type into boxes, etc., to finish setting up
<user-name>@<mydomainname> ? (Screenshots or explicit step-by-step directions, please)
If I want to also create another email address:
<user-name2>@<mydomainname>
what would I do? Would that go to the same mailbox as the first email address I set up, or would it go to a different mailbox? I thought I read that the free version of zoho allows up to 3 accounts ?
---- EDIT: -----
I attempted to attach a small jpg to how my account looks, but this forum tool freezes up and won't let me do it.
