Domain-Based Email Accounts:
E-mail addresses that include your domain name for example@domainname.com.au are known as a domain-based email address. They have the custom addresses for the business domains. These email accounts are much more specialised for your business needs and appear more professional for any client contacts. The process of creating such a domain-based email account requires registering the domain name, having some cloud storage with your website host and setting up the email address on your devices.
The set-up options for domain-based email addresses and accounts are given below:
Hosting a Website for Your Business:
Many web hosting companies offer packages that include email hosting as an integral part using cPanel (a software that manages your web domain).
As part of your hosting plan with practiceedge, we’ll establish as many email accounts for your domain as you require, provided the space required does not exceed your disk space quota (outlined in current hosting package). Please be aware that the disk space provided within your hosting is limited to a pre-set maximum. Your hosting space must allow for both your website files and database as well as your email accounts.
If you receive excessively large email attachments, use IMAP accounts or do not automatically delete your POP emails after downloading to your desktop email client, your disk space will become exhausted.
When your disk allowance is full, you will no longer be able to send or receive emails until space is either cleared, or your account disk size allowance is increased. To increase your disk capacity, you’ll need to contact us, and we can upgrade your account for an additional fee.
In order to clear space within your email account, you will need to delete emails from the server – both within the offending folder and in the trash folder once deleted. YES…you must double delete an email for it to be removed from your server and to free disk space.
As you know, e-mail accounts are essentials for your business, and there is a rapid and tremendous change in the field of technology.

How to Access Emails From Webmail:
Webmail is an online login portal that you can use to access any email account setup on practiceedge’s servers, to receive and send mail just as you would through email clients like Outlook or Mac Mail. The easiest way to access your email account’s webmail is by using your domain name /webmail.
For example:
https://www.yourdomainname.com.au/webmail
You will be taken directly to a login screen asking for you to enter your email address and email address password.
Once you have entered both of those correctly, you will then be taken to a screen that will give you a choice between three different Webmail applications. All three of these webmail applications will do the same things (receive emails, send emails, etc), so the choice between them is mostly guided by which interface you prefer the look of and usability of.
Basic Email Troubleshooting Tips:
Step 1) Check your internet connection. Make sure your device and email client are connected to the internet. Often one of the most overlooked steps!
Step 2) Check to see if you can load your website. If your website is NOT accessible, it is likely that your IP address has been blocked. The most common reason for this is that you have attempted to enter an incorrect password when trying to access your site admin area or email. Contact our team with your IP address and we can unblock it for you. (Your IP address can be access by typing “what is my public IP address” in a Google Search)
Step 3) Check to see if you can access your webmail.
Go to webmail: yourdomainname.com.au/webmail
Enter your email address and password
ACCESS – If Email server is working correctly. Proceed to Step 4) email client settings.
NO ACCESS – Contact Us to RESET your password.
Step 4) Confirm your mail servers and all port numbers that are currently set up. If you require further verification, view our email support guide: https://www.practiceedge.com.au/email-support/
Note: When accessing webmail, check your email storage – often your inbox and sent folder might be full which is why you are unable to send and receive emails!
