When SquirrelMail appears please note the Qmail Admin link at the bottom of the page. Click Qmail Admin.
Log into Qmail Administration.
To access administrator options enter "postmaster" as the User Account. If your website is "www.ripleyphotographic.com" then your domain is "ripleyphotographic.com". Please enter your domain into the Domain Name field. Supply the postmaster Password which was supplied to you via PDF document during the creation of your account.
Click Login.
Now that you're logged in, create a new email account by clicking New Email Account.
