When you create an account, the domain default COS defines the features and preferences. You can designate the following information for each account:
Account name. An account name cannot have spaces or use symbols. You can type a period (.) between words. Example: john.smith. This becomes the name in the email address, i.e. john.smith@example.com. The account name must be unique in a domain.
Password. You will need to find out from the Global Administrator how the password rules were configured for your domain COS.
Require passwords that you set to be changed when users log in the first time after a password is changed.
First, middle, and last name of the user.
Display name to display in mail addresses instead of the complete account name.
Canonical address. This is the address that is shown in the email From field. If the Canonical address field is empty, the account email address is used.
Contact information including phone number, company name, and address.
Alias addresses. An alias is not an account but an address that points to the account you created.
Forwarding addresses. As mail comes into this account, a copy is sent to the listed forwarding addresses.
Click Accounts, in the navigation pane.
In the Accounts toolbar, click New.
The New Account wizard appears. As a minimum, you must enter an account name, and the last name. The default COS is specified.
The wizard steps you through a series of dialog boxes to set up contact information, mail aliases, forwarding information features, preferences, and advanced options.
Click Finish to save.
The account is created with the features and preferences assigned from the domain COS. The user can log in.
