Email Accounts
Everything you need to create and manage email accounts on Overton.cloud — from setting up a new mailbox to adjusting quotas and resetting passwords, all from a single place in the Control Panel.
Where to find it
All account management lives under Email Accounts in the Control Panel at email.adastra.ad. Sign in at email.adastra.ad.
Creating an Account
New mailboxes are created in just a few steps:
- Open Email Accounts
In the Control Panel, navigate to the Email Accounts section. - Click Create Account
Choose Create Account to open the new-account form. - Enter the details
Provide a username, a strong password, and a storage quota. You can set a specific size or choose the unlimited option. - Save
Confirm to create the mailbox. It’s ready to use immediately with your client or webmail.
Username is your full address
When connecting a mail client, always authenticate with the full email address (e.g. you@yourdomain.com), not just the part before the @.
Managing Accounts
The same Email Accounts section lets you maintain existing mailboxes. Locate the account in the list and use its edit button to make changes.
| Task | How |
|---|---|
| Change a quota | Edit the account and set a new storage limit (or unlimited). |
| Reset a password | Edit the account and enter a new password. |
| Delete an account | Use the account’s delete action. This permanently removes the mailbox and its mail. |
Deletion is permanent
Deleting an account erases all mail stored in that mailbox. Back up anything important before removing an account.
Best Practices
- Use strong passwords. Long, unique passwords protect each mailbox from compromise.
- Set realistic quotas. Match storage limits to how each account actually uses email.
- Rotate credentials periodically. Update passwords on a schedule, especially for shared or high-value accounts.
- Monitor usage. Keep an eye on account activity and storage to catch problems early.
