Adding Store Email Addresses to Magento

Magento uses three pre-defined email addresses in certain situations. By default, you can specify the General Contact, Sales Representative, and Customer Support email addresses. Each address has the default sender name and email address when you initially install your store. You’ll want to update these to your own email addresses during the configuration of Magento. Changing the store email addresses in Magento is accomplished through your hosted Magento Admin Backend.
