Email Software Setup

Remember: Email boxes require two parts to work properly. First, your email software on your computer needs to be set up as well as the corrosponding email box on the server. To set up the email box on the server, use the Mail Manager.

All email programs are going to need five or six pieces of information:

1. Email Address: this is the name you've created in Mail Manager followed by @ and your domain name. For example: user@domain.com
2. User Name: this is the name of the email box (to the left of the @ symbol). This is also known as your User ID, User Name, Mailbox Name depending on the program you're using.
3. Your Password: this is the password you've assigned to the email box using the Mail Manager.
4. POP Server: Simply use your domain name, for example yourdomain.com. This is also known as your incoming server.
5. Server type: This is usually a choice between POP, POP3 and IMAP. We recommend the first two unless you already know that you're using IMAP.
6. SMTP Server: This is provided by your Internet Service Provider. If they do not provide an SMTP server, using your domain name 'might' work but this is not recommended.

Below is a list of email programs that link to guides on setting them up for use with your account. Select the one that best suites your needs.
