About This Step
Log in with your Admin Account to the Administration Console to test your MX records, add users, and adjust the settings for your message security service. Use the Message Center login page shown above to log in to the Administration Console.

Once you confirm successful mail flow, you must log in to your domain registrar to remove your old MX records (see instructions below).

To access the login details for your Admin Account (Service Account), read the activation email that you received when you completed your purchase (see Checking Your Activation Email).

When you log in, you'll have a choice of opening the Message Center window or opening the Administration Console. Click the Administration Console link to continue with your setup. (Note that when you log in for the first time, you are prompted to change your password.)
