How do I enable subaddressing on a StackCP mailbox #

Subaddressing is a useful email feature that allows you to automatically organize incoming messages into specific folders based on the recipient’s address. It works by adding a tag to your main email address. For example, using box+tag@yourdomain.com will direct emails to a folder named ‘tag’ automatically. This guide will show you how to enable subaddressing for your email accounts in StackCP.

Steps to Enable Subaddressing #

Step 1: Access Hosting Management #

• Log in to your StackCP account.
• Navigate to either Manage Hosting or Manage Domains depending on where your email is managed.
• Select Manage for the hosting package or domain you are configuring.

Step 2: Manage Email Accounts #

• Click on the Email Accounts icon within the dashboard.

Step 3: Enable Subaddressing #

• Find the email account you want to modify and click on Options.
• Select Enable Subaddresses from the menu.

Step 4: Confirmation and Setup Time #

• After enabling subaddressing, allow up to 30 minutes for the feature to be activated on the platform.

Using Subaddressing #

Once subaddressing is enabled, you can start using tagged email addresses immediately. Emails sent to these tagged addresses will be auto-filtered into corresponding folders named after the tag. This is particularly useful for managing subscriptions, project-related emails, or any other categorization needs without needing to manually sort each message.

Example of Subaddressing Usage #

If your main email is box@yourdomain.com, and you want to sort all newsletters into a folder named ‘news’, you would use:

• Email Sent To: box+news@yourdomain.com
• Emails Auto-Filtered To: Folder named ‘news’

This method simplifies email management and enhances your productivity by reducing the time spent organizing emails manually.

Conclusion #

Enabling subaddressing in StackCP is a straightforward process that can greatly improve how you manage and interact with your emails. By directing emails to specific folders based on their tags, you can keep your inbox organized and ensure important emails are exactly where they need to be.
