How to create an email with Mail-in-a-Box on a Linode?

The main procedures to create an email with Mail-in-a-Box on a Linode cloud server are as follows:

1. Create a new Linode instance after creating an account on Linode. Based on the requirements, we may select the best Linode plan and set up a Linode server where we want it.

2. SSH (Secure Shell) allows to access the Linode server from a local computer. To create a secure connection to the Linode, we can use a terminal or an SSH client like PuTTY (for Windows).

3. We must install Mail-in-a-Box by following the official Mail-in-a-Box installation instructions when we connect to the Linode server. Usually, this entails executing an automated installation script that Mail-in-a-Box provides.

4. We will need to set up the domain to use the Mail-in-a-Box server when the installation is finished. This entails changing the domain’s DNS records to refer to the IP address of the Linode server. Use the DNS administration interface provided by the domain registrar to accomplish this.

5. By entering the server’s IP address or domain name in a web browser, we may access the Mail-in-a-Box admin interface once the DNS records have propagated. We may create up email accounts and customise other parts of the email server with this interface.

6. To set up email accounts for the domain, use the Mail-in-a-Box admin interface. This entails giving each account the required username and password. Additional configuration options include email aliases, forwarding rules, and mailbox capacity constraints.

7. Once the email accounts are created, users may access their email by configuring their favourite email client (such as Outlook, Thunderbird, or mobile mail applications) with the correct server settings, or by using the Roundcube webmail interface that Mail-in-a-Box provides.
