About the Internode Mailbox Manager

Mailbox Manager allows you to create or remove extra email addresses (mailboxes) for family or staff members. Each Extra Mailbox has a unique username and password, and stores email separately from other accounts.

Your Internode account entitles you to 5 free Mailboxes in total: 1 Primary Mailbox and 4 Extra Mailboxes. Additional mailboxes beyond this limit cannot be created through Mailbox Manager, and incur a charge - see our Email Product Features for full details.

You will be asked to choose a username and password when you create an Extra Mailbox. The username is used to create your email address, in the form username@internode.on.net

You may change a mailbox password at any time, but the username (and derived email address) is fixed. If you need to change an email address you must create a new Extra Mailbox, then remove the unwanted original.

You can access Mailbox Manager directly, or by logging into My Internode:

1. Log in to My Internode using your Internode username and password.

Further Configuration

Configuring your Mail Client for your Extra Mailboxes

Once you have changed your mailboxes using Mailbox Manager, we recommend you adjust your mail client's settings to send and receive email from each of your Extra Mailboxes.

You will find detailed instructions for configuring a range of popular mail clients on the Internode Email Configuration Page.

Further customising your Internode Mail Services

In addition to creating and removing additional mailboxes, Internode provide a number of special email features which are not configurable via Mailbox Manager:

• Internode Webmail allows you to read and send email from within your web browser.
• Internode E-Mail Configuration allows you to change email forwarding, spam and virus filtering, and auto-responder settings.
