Outlook Express 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 click on "tools" and then "accounts"
2. Click on "add" and then "mail"
3. In Display Name, type your name. Click "Next"
4. E-mail address: enter yourname@yourdomain.com Click "Next"
5. My incoming mail server is a "POP3".
6. Incoming Mail (POP3 or IMAP)server: Enter your domain.com
7. Outgoing Mail (SMTP) server: Enter yourdomain.com
8. Click Next
9. POP account name: User Name Password: Your Password Click "Next".
10. Internet Mail Account Name: Your can name this whatever you would like. It can always be changed later.
11. Choose your connection type depending on your connection method.
12. On some of our servers, you will also need to check the box that says "outgoing server requires authentication."
13. Click "Finish"

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).
