QuestionAnswer
How do I define filters/rules?

A detailed description is available here.

What is an alias?An alias address (or pseudonym, nickname, etc.) is most often used to surf, chat etc. on the Internet to hide your real identity or to define a role like webmaster@swissmail.org. Messages sent to such aliases will automatically be forwarded to the mailbox they belong to, i.e. to the primary address. For this reason, an alias address cannot really be treated as a separate mailbox.
How do I create an alias?
  1. go to the ControlCenter and click on "Aliases" in the navigation menu on the left;
    enter an email address into one of the fields provided, choose a domain name from the drop-down menu and click on the "Save Changes" button.
  2. To use the alias address in WebMail you must define a new identity for the alias address.
  3. To create a new identity please proceed as follows:
    1. Click on Office, then Options and finally "Personal Information";
    2. From the drop down menu "Select the identity you want to change:" select "Create a new one".
What is the difference between Alias and Sender-Addresses?With a Standard or Professional Account, Alias addresses can be defined. These are additional swissmail.org email addresses, but belong to the same account and are freely selectable. Messages sent to such aliases will automatically be forwarded to the mailbox they belong to, i.e. to the primary address.

With a Standard or Professional Account additional Sender addresses which do not belong to swissmail.org can be defined. You have to be the owner of those email addresses as they only are active when the owner confirms them (a confirmation link will be sent to the owner). The Sender sender addresses can only be used as a sender.
How do I define an "out of office", a “vacation” or other autoreplies?To set an auto-reply please log into your swissmail.org account;
select "ControlCenter" and then "Rules" on the left;
edit a rule (i.e Deliver Email to Mailbox) or define a new rule for which you would like to set an auto-reply;
scroll down to “Enter a message to set an auto-reply for this rule.”
Enter your auto-reply and click on the “Save Changes” button.
Now for each mail which is saved in your inbox the message you defined in the autoreply field will be sent back.
For Basic Accounts:
Log into your account on swissmail.org;
select "Controlcenter" and then "Rules" on the left;
enter the "auto-reply" message into the "Auto-reply" field provided and save the changes.

Please go to our webMail app. Under Settings you can define Out of Office messages.

Image Added

Can I change my email address?The email address itself cannot be changed. You can use alias addresses for having different email addresses.
How do I cancel my swissmail.org account?30 60 days before the yearly fee is due an invoice is automatically sent to your email address. If the invoice isn't paid the account will automatically be deleted when the account expires. We still ask you to send us a request to delete your account.

Our storage program lets your email storage grow with your need for more space. Over the time more and more important emails want to be stored and of course they will use more and more of your storage. To make sure that your storage does not run out of space over the time the storage program will increase your email storage every 3 years.

The increase will be done after the payment for the third year.
If you are using our option to pay for 3 or 5 years in advance the increase will be done immediatly.

Examples:
If you have a new account your space will be increased after two years as soon as we have received your payment for the third year. However if you have decided to pay for three years in advance your account space will be increased now.
