Managing Your Hosted Exchange Email Mailboxes
You can set up as many mailboxes as your Hosted Exchange Email plan allows. You can set up mailboxes in multiple organizations using the same Hosted Exchange Email plan. However, each organization must have its own domain. Organizations can have more than one domain, but domains cannot be used by more than one organization.
If you have several mailboxes you'd like to add, it might be more convenient to import them using a spreadsheet compatible with Microsoft® Excel® 2007 and higher. Importing mailboxes lets you add them all at once, rather than one by one. You can download an Excel spreadsheet formatted for importing from Hosted Exchange.
NOTE: To import mailboxes, your computer needs the latest version of Adobe Flash® Player. You can download it here.
