Setting Up Your Email

If you prefer to use an email client such Microsoft Outlook to manage your email, you will first need to configure that program by adding a new mail account. All mail clients are slightly different in their set-up process, but all require the same configuration settings. First we will summarize the settings required by any mail client. Then we will take you step by step through the configuration of Microsoft Outlook.

Basic Mail Client Settings
The following are the basic settings you need to configure your email client:

Account Type:POP or POP3
Email Address:you@yourdomain.com
Incoming (POP3) Server Name:mail.yourdomain.com
User Name:your full email address
Password:your account password
Outgoing (SMTP) Server Name:mail.yourdomain.com

** Your Outgoing (SMTP) mail server requires authentication
