Getting Started with Your Email Hosting

Thank you for choosing NakibMail, your premium branded email hosting solution powered by MXroute and managed through DirectAdmin. This guide will walk you through everything you need to get started — from logging in to setting up DNS records to using your mailbox.

✅ Step 1: Access Your Email Hosting Panel

Once you’ve purchased a plan from NakibVPS Email Hosting, you can manage your email accounts through our client portal:

  1. Go to: my.nakibvps.com
  2. Login with your credentials.
  3. Click “Login to DirectAdmin” (1-click access).
  4. You’ll be taken to your hosting dashboard, where you can create and manage email accounts.

✉️ Step 2: Create Email Accounts

Inside DirectAdmin:

  1. Click “E-Mail Accounts” under the Email Manager.
  2. Click “Create Account”.
  3. Enter your desired email address (e.g. info@yourdomain.com) and a strong password.
  4. Click Create.

You’ll now see your new account listed with options to manage or log in.

🌐 Step 3: Set Up DNS Records (VERY IMPORTANT)

To ensure your email works correctly and reliably, you need to set up DNS records at your domain registrar (or wherever your domain’s DNS is managed).

🔁 MX Records (for receiving email)

PriorityHostPoints To
10@everest.mxrouting.net
20@everest-relay.mxrouting.net

📝 Note: Replace @ with your domain root (e.g. yourdomain.com) if required by your DNS manager.

🔐 SPF Record (for sending authentication)

TypeNameValue
TXT@v=spf1 include:mxroute.com -all

✅ Optional: DKIM & DMARC

While SPF is essential, we recommend also setting up:

  • DKIM: Available inside your DirectAdmin > E-Mail Manager > DKIM Keys (copy and add it to DNS as a TXT record).
  • DMARC: To improve deliverability. Example: Type Name Value TXT _dmarc v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; rua=mailto:you@yourdomain.com

💻 Step 4: Accessing Webmail

You and your users can check email directly using our secure webmail interface.

🔗 Visit: https://mail.nakibmail.com/roundcube/

  1. Enter your full email address and password.
  2. Use the “RainLoop” or “Roundcube” webmail client.
  3. Send, receive, and manage your emails easily from anywhere.

📱 Step 5: Configure Email on Mobile or Desktop (IMAP/SMTP Settings)

📬 Incoming Mail (IMAP)

  • Server: mail.nakibmail.com
