Creating Multiple Mail Accounts

Customers with Eriecoast.com can have up to 5 Email accounts depending on which plan you choose at no extra cost!

You would be assigned your first Email account, which corresponds, to your username on your login.

Other Email addresses can be obtained through your account with Eriecoast. All incoming mail addresses to the other addresses would be stored in a separate Email mailbox. Complete separation and privacy of Email messages can be obtained. Outgoing mail would have all information about this separate Email account.

In order to keep privacy of the other Email accounts, you will need to have a separate Email program on your computer for retrieval of all incoming and outgoing messages associated with the other Email accounts. Any standard internet Email program can be used to send and retrieve Email messages for the other Email accounts. Use the links above in setting up you other Email accounts.

A request must be made to Eriecoast to set up your second Email account. In order to do this Email support@eriecoast.com or call our office at (440)323-3743 or (440)244-1511. Remember to have your new username and password available for your other Email accounts before you call or Email.

PLEASE NOTE: No matter which option you choose, you will always connect using your primary username and password. This is the username and password you chose when you established Internet Service with Eriecoast.
