Setting Up Your Email Software to Receive Your New Email Address.
If you have set up new Email accounts on the web server through your Control Panel, now you must set up your Email software on your computer to receive them. First of course you need to be able to connect to the Internet for your Email software to get the mail, so you will need an ISP or dial up connector service. Next you have to tell your Email software where to go to pick up your new Email address.

To do this you will probably need to set up a new E-mail account with your Email program, with your domain name as the POP3 server, and the new address you created as the Email address, plus the corresponding password. Some software allows you to pick up multiple accounts or identities. In those cases you can just set up a new identity inside another account and add these items in the corresponding places.

In the following sections we describe how to do this in general and how to do it in Outlook Express, the Microsoft Email program (comes free with Internet Explorer 4 and beyond).  Mac users have Entourage which is comparable to Outlook for PC users.

 

In General To Set up a New Account in your Email software you follow this procedure.

Name the account either: domain or username (where domain is your actual domain name and user name is the account or email user you are setting up)

Set domain as the POP3, e.g. abccompany.com

Set user as the user or account name, and password as the password, where user is the user name and password is the password we furnish you, or that you set up on your web site for this user.

If you wish to send mail out using this account you will also have to find the name of the SMTP server, and put that in.

To Send Mail Out With Your New Account

To send mail out you need a SMTP server, which would be whatever dial up SMTP you have. To find out what your SMTP server is call your ISP and ask or look in their email setup. In general to do this you load your Email program, go to setup account, edit an existing account or network setup, etc. Most programs have a good help file, so for details go to the help in your Email program and do a search for SMTP servers.

6.  Enter your Internet E-mail Address

7.  Enter yourdomainname.com as the Incoming mail (POP3) Server where yourdomainname.com is your domain name without the www. in front.  Don't use the word mail before the domain name.  That is a new rule since these images have been posted.

See image below.
 

For the Outgoing (SMTP) Server, we recommend that you use your ISP's SMTP Server since this configuration works best. Most ISP's offer an SMTP Server free with their Internet DSL or dial-up service and all you need to do is call them to find out what that SMTP Server name is.

If your ISP does not offer an SMTP Server (like AOL), then you can use mail.yourdomainname.com as the Outgoing (SMTP) Server. But, when using your mail.yourdomainname.com as the SMTP server, you must always check for mail before being allowed to send mail (POP before SMTP).
