How do I start sending/receiving mail to/from @colliope.com, as opposed to @colliope.zboxhosting.com?
I sent an email from my msn account to "anyname@colliope.com" and then logged into Squirrel mail and Horde, and it is not in either inbox. I also sent an email from squirrel mail to my msn account, and the sender was displayed as "colliope@colliope.zboxhosting.com".
I see in my control panel, there is an option about default mail addy and blackholes. I'm not sure what to do to change things so that I can send/receive mail as colliope.com.
Thanks,
Col

Hi Col,
First off I owe you an apology. I told you something that was in error. A "parked" domain such as your colliope.com can't have it's own email address. Parked domains don't have any content of their own as they are really just a simple redirect. If you do need email for the colliope.com domain what we can do is break off a chunk of your disk space and bandwidth from your main account and create a seperate account for that domain.
With regards to your main email address, that is simply a spam catchall. Any mail that is "unrouted" will vanish in the blackhole. By "unrouted" I mean like "admin@colliope.zboxhosting.com". There is no such address so it goes to the blackhole as opposed to being bounced back. If you want "colliope@colliope.zboxhosting.com" to be a working email address, go into your Cpanel, and under the "Email management tools", then click on "Add/Remove email account" and then create the email address that you want. Yes it can be the same as your catchall if you wish.
Bert

donnaThanks Donna.. i think i replied to your email about "hiding".. haha been revamping my website in spare time.. still a lot of work to do on it tho so it's still Under Construction, just like here where i live :) sincerely & eternally optimistic, timmer 
Yo Timmer! The problem with the mail was that Nova (the server you are on) had some network connection issues. It was sporadic and lasted about an hour. My email is back up and running, so if you have problems still just give me a holler. It's been a very hectic 24 hours LOL!
