Setup CSV/XLS for Importing

Import addresses or forwarders

This feature allows you to use 2 types of files to create multiple email addresses or forwarders for your account simultaneously. You may use an Excel spreadsheet file (.xls) or a comma-separated values sheet (.csv) to import the data.

What is a CSV file?

A CSV file is a plain text file that has been given a .csv extension.

When using a CSV file, you will need to separate your email addresses and passwords consistently, using commas, periods, or any character of your choosing. These separators are known as delimiters and separate the pieces of information that will be imported for each account.

In addition, you should separate each account or forwarder you would like to create using a new row in the spreadsheet or a new line in a CSV file.

You may import the following information:

• Email address usernames (example: user1).
  Note: You can, but are not required to, include the domain (example: @example.com).
• Passwords for email addresses.
• Email quotas (example: 10 stands for 10 Megabytes).

A sample CSV file might contain:

user1@example.com, Password, 10
user2@example.com, Password, 10
user3@example.com, Password, 10
