Your e-mail Accounts

Follow these steps to check your E-mail accounts:

Step 1 : Obtain E-mail Client software

Just like the FTP language, your computer will need special
software to converse with our E-mail server.

We recommend "outlook".

Step 2 : Configuring Your E-mail Software

You will need to set the preferences of your software to correctly connect to our server and download your messages. Listed below are a set of general settings for various e-mail client software.

open:  Outlook or Outlook Express
click: TOOLS
click: ACCOUNTS
click: ADD
click: MAIL

Place your DISPLAY NAME
click: NEXT
add: FULL E MAIL ADDRESS- user@name.com
click: NEXT
add to SMTP and POP: mail.yourdomain.com
click: NEXT
add FULL account name: user@yourdomain.com
add: Password
check: Remember Password
click: next
click FINISH

THEN GO TO:

click: TOOLS
click: ACCOUNTS
click: THE ACCOUNT YOU SET UP
click: PROPERTIES
click: SERVERS
check: My server requires authentication

 

SMTP (outgoing) Mail Server	mail.yourdomain.com
POP3 (incoming) Mail Server	mail.yourdomain.com
Your E-mail Address	users@yourdomain.com
User ID, or Account name	user@yourdomain.com

Example :

Here is an example of the confirmation e-mail received, and how the variables would be setup in your e-mail client.

MAIL INFORMATION:
Internet E-mail address:.: john@boguscompany.com
pop mail login:..........: john.boguscompany
pop mail passwd..........: secretword
pop mail real name:......: John Doe
pop/smtp server:.........: mail.boguscompany.com

These are the main pieces of information you need to connect and get your mail. There are usually many more preferences in your specific mail program, but the ones listed above are the most important.

Step 3 : Checking Your E-mail

Open your e-mail application and choose to check your mail. The software will then connect to our mail server, and download any new messages that you may have. When you connect, your e-mail program will most likely prompt you for the password of your account. This will be the password you have chosen to set up.

Be sure and read all of the documentation that came with your particular e-mail software, as each one has its own interface.
