🧹 Managing Email Accounts

🔄 Change Password

• Click the Delete button beside the email address.
• Confirm deletion.

🔐 Secure Your Email

✅ Use Strong Passwords

Always use a unique and complex password to protect your inbox.

✅ Enable SSL/TLS

Ensure all mail connections use SSL for security:

Both incoming (IMAP/POP3) and outgoing (SMTP) should be encrypted.

✅ Set SPF, DKIM, DMARC Records

Improve deliverability and prevent spoofing by configuring:

• SPF (TXT record): Authorizes sending servers.
• DKIM (TXT record): Verifies the message integrity.
• DMARC (TXT record): Instructs how ISPs handle failed messages.

You can configure these via Zone Editor in cPanel.

“Thank you for contacting Govaio.com Support. We will respond within 24 hours.”

📤 Forwarders

Automatically forward emails from one address to another (e.g., sales@govaio.com → marketing@govaio.com).
