E-MAIL (Electronic Mail) is used for communicating by "mail" with other people on the Internet. There are many e-mail programs currently being used on the Internet, please note that our Customer Service Representatives are versed in using Netscape Mail, Internet Mail, and Eudora Pro/Light and may not have information on how to configure/use other E-mail programs.
When setting up your e-mail program(s), the following settings will most likely be used when configuring the program.
Incoming (POP3) Server: yourdomain.com
(NOTE: DO NOT put 'www' or 'pop', etc. in front of the domain!)
Outgoing (SMTP) Server: yourdomain.com
(NOTE: DO NOT put 'www' or 'smtp', etc. in front of the domain!)
**Some Internet Access Providers require you to use their SMTP server.
POP3 account/user name: youraccountname
(This would be whatever account you configured in your control panel)
You will most likely be prompted for a password when you first try to log-in to your mail server. This password that it prompts for will be the one that you chose when you first set up that particular POP3 account through your control panel.
