Step 5 - Renaming your main mailbox

When you signed up for your account, you were given a single mailbox to use. For most customers, this is likely to be the account that they use most. In our example, this has the email address marysia@marysia.plus.com.

Unfortunately, over time, this account started to get more and more spam sent to it.

Marysia decided to stop using this as her main account and started using contact@marysia.plus.com instead.

Marysia's been using contact@ for quite a while now and is happy that email to marysia@marysia.plus.com is only coming from spammers now. She's decided it's a good time to get rid of marysia@marysia.plus.com completely.

As this is a mailbox we are wanting to edit, we need to click on the Mailboxes tab in the navigation bar:

You can now see all the mailboxes that exist. Here there are only two:

The first account listed is always the default, or main, mailbox. After that, they will be shown in alphabetical order. (Unless you change the order using the A-Z / Z-A option.)

You can't delete this default mailbox, but you can rename it, which is what Marysia wants to do in our example.

This is done by clicking on the rename link. You'll then see the following:

So all that needs to be done is to enter a new mailbox name and click SAVE CHANGES. Marysia decides to change the address to be qwerty@marysia.plus.com.
