What is 'Main Account'?
Any email that is sent to an unknown account at your domain name, such as unknown@yourdomain.com, gets automatically rerouted to your default email account.
Why does 'Main Account' exist?
All web site accounts are automatically assigned a default email address same as your account username.
Please note that main account is different from myhost@yourdomain.com. By default, the main account is not a valid email address. You can't email it, it is only for catch-all purpose.
How do I access 'Main Account'?
You can access WebMail at
http://your-domain.com:2095/ .
If it is your main account, the username is your account username and main
password.
