Outlook Setup

Outlook Email Setup

If you want to access your email directly from your domain rather than redirecting the mail to an existing email account, we recommend using an email program like Outlook as your email client.  It is normally included when you install Microsoft Office.  This is an email program that runs under Windows and Macintosh OS.  See your program documentation for instructions on how to set those up.

Outlook connects to the mail server over the Winsock or Macintosh TCP/IP. Mail may be composed and read offline, but make sure that you are online before attempting to send or receive email.

Please Note: Although your account exists on our server, you won't be able to receive email at yourname@yourdomain.com until your domain is transferred.

1.  In the Menu bar, select "tools" and then "accounts" (98/00). Or, "e-mail accounts" (Win XP)

2. Select add a new E-mail account

3.  Select POP3 and click next

4.  Fill in all information. Enter your name, your e-mail address, your username and password. Both the Incoming and outgoing mail server will be your yourdomain.com
5. On some of out servers, you'll need to click on "more settings" and click on the box that says "outgoing mail server requires authentication."
6.  You can then select "test account settings". Microsoft Outlook will then test the configuration for your POP e-mail account.
7.  You are now all set to send and receive e-mail and add more accounts if needed

Note: Your default email address is yourdomain@yourdomain.com This is where all of your email will be sent to, unless other configurations take priority (such as autoresponders and redirects).
