Every Vikalink hosting plan includes free email hosting on your own domain. Setting up a mailbox in Plesk takes about two minutes.
1. Open the Mail section
Log in to Plesk and click Mail from the left sidebar. You'll see a list of any existing mailboxes for your domain.
2. Create a new email address
Click Create Email Address, type the username you want (for example "info" or "sales"), choose your domain from the dropdown, and set a strong password.
3. Set a mailbox size limit
Plesk lets you cap how much storage each mailbox can use. A reasonable starting point is 1–2GB per address, adjustable later if needed.
4. Connect it to Outlook, Gmail, or your phone
Under the mailbox settings, Plesk shows the exact incoming (IMAP) and outgoing (SMTP) server details you'll need to add the account to any email client or phone.
Key takeaway: Always choose IMAP over POP3 when connecting a mail client — IMAP keeps your mail synced across webmail, phone, and desktop instead of downloading it to just one device.
5. Set up an autoresponder
Useful for "out of office" replies or automatic order confirmations. Open the mailbox, go to Auto-Reply, write your message, and turn it on.
6. Create forwarders
If you want mail sent to info@yourdomain.com to also land in your personal inbox, add a forwarder rather than checking two separate mailboxes.
7. Turn on spam filtering
Plesk includes SpamAssassin filtering built in. Enable it under Mail settings and set the sensitivity level to catch unwanted mail before it reaches your inbox.
