Rackspace Email Control Panel overview

Welcome to Rackspace Cloud Office. After you sign up for Rackspace Email
services, you're ready to log in to your Cloud
Office Control Panel. This article provides a brief overview of the
Control Panel, which you can access at https://cp.rackspace.com (new
Cloud Office customers) or

MyRackspace customers).

Control Panel main page

After you log in to the Control Panel, you see a variety of sections
that showcase the products that you have signed up for—in this case,

and tools. The main landing page includes the Rackspace Email section,
as well as the Domains and News & Alerts sections. As you sign up
for additional products, each product has its own section so that you can
manage it directly from the landing page.
