My Son has asked Me if it is possible for Me to set up a New email account (only accessible from His computer), through My FOL Account?
I tried to find out about this through the FOL Help Assistant Guide but could'nt find anything in there relating to My Query.
I thought that I could (as the way I understand it, I can have Multiple email addresses with My FOL Account?
P.S.
My Son is an 18Yr old College Student, and at present has all mail sent to one of My accounts (which I use for various online registrations, Forums & etc).

I am stumbling around a bit trying to set up a New Mailbox for my Son (using the instructions posted by Peter).
I will wait till the New (Easier) way is available! (Tomorrow Hopefully!).

Note: you have to wait up to 4 hours before the mailbox is fully activated by PlusNet before you can connect to it and use it.

I must have been doing something wrong (when I was trying to set up the New mailbox, using Your Instructions as a guide).
I kept getting Error Messages!
As I said in My reply to Chris, I will wait till the New Improved System is setup!

Quote from: Peter Just create a new mailbox via the member centre Email Settings -> Manage My Mail and enter those details into his email client of the form
mailbox login: username+mailboxname
mailbox pass: whatever password you set for the mailbox.
SMTP server: relay.plus.net
POP3 server: mail.plus.net
Hi i think your problem may be th fact your a free-online customer?
The mail servers given above are not right...
try:
Mail Server (POP3) mail.free-online.net
Relay Server (SMPT) relay.free-online.net

For example, if you have myson@myaccount as an alias that is delivered to an existing mailbox it won't allow you to create the myson@myaccount mailbox until the alias has been deleted. Duplicates are not allowed between mailboxes and aliases as they are both effectively the same email address.
If the error was to do with actually collecting the mail then the answer above mine regarding incoming and outgoing servers will be the solution but if the error is on creation then it's more likely to be this.
As has been said, post up the error and when it's happening then maybe we can get you fixed

I add: Mysonsusername@myusername.free-online.co.uk
Then He picks a password & when I click the Add/Create button an Error message comes Up (Username/Password Invalid).
P.S.
The email address My Son has been using is one of My Old (backup) addresses (Non-FOL), which He can only access via My Computers mailbox!
