If you would like to add
an e-mail address to Outlook Express, follow the procedure below.
You can configure Outlook Express to check as many e-mail addresses
as you like.
To quicky and automatically setup your
mail accounts:
You can use the control panel's automatic Outlook Export Tool
to setup your email account. To do this:
1. Log into your control panel (http://www.your-domain.com/cpanel/)
2. Select "Add/Remove POP Accounts"
3. Select "Outlook Express AutoConfig" next to the
account you want setup.
Once clicked, the server sends a registry file to your computer
so that when Windows reads it, it will automatically setup your
mail account in Outlook Express. If you would like to manually
setup your mail accounts in Outlook Express, follow the instructions
below.
To manually add e-mail accounts
in Outlook Express:
1. Open
Outlook Express
2. Move to the "Tools"
drop down menu and select "Accounts."
3. Select "Add Mail"
from the "Right"
menu option.
4. In the "account name
box", enter a name for your mail account, and
click "Next."
4. In the "Email Box",
enter the email address for this account and click
"Next."
5. Set "Mail Server Names"
6. Enter the "Login and
Password" for this email account. Use the
"full email address" as the login name
of the account you're configuring, as illustrated in the following
"example."
7. Click "Finish."
and you'll see a message like this:
8. Do not exit your account settings yet!
Highlight your "New Account"
and select "Properties." as
illustrated in the following example:
9. In the properties dialog box,
select "Servers", then
select the "My Server Requires
Authentication" option as shown below:
That's pretty well it! Close your account settings
and test out your new address by sending a message to it.
If you're able to send a message, and receive that same message
in your new account, then congratulations! - you've successfully
setup your first email account on our servers. You can
configure as many email accounts as your like in Outlook Express
using the same above process.
Potential
problems with sending mail:
Due the the mass amount of abuse from a few problem souls,
an increasing number of ISP's are disabling ability to "send
mail" through someone else's SMTP server. If you
receive an error message when attempting
to use our "Outgoing SMTP" server, it probably means
your ISP has denied access to (what is otherwise known) as
'third party relaying." To solve this problem,
simply go back to your account properties, and select the
"server settings" tab. Then, there are two things
you must do:
1. Change the "SMTP
Outgoing Mail Server" settings to the same ones
as you're using on your ISP's email account. To do this,
have a look at "Step 8" just a few above this one.
In this case, select the properties of your ISP mail account,
then go to properties, and select "Servers."
Copy those "SMTP Outgoing Mail
Server" settings to your new account, or write
them down and enter them in manually.
2. Deselect the "My
Server Requires Authentication" option.
DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING ELSE! You
can now receive mail from your domain account, while sending
mail will be accomplished through your ISP's SMTP servers.
This will in no way effect the performance or look of your
email messages coming from your domain.
Note:
PLEASE… DO NOT send large volumes of mailings
through our SMTP Relay server. It's really provided as a courtesy
to our users, and not something to be used for mass mailing
list purposes. If you're sending large emails, or are running
a mailing list, PLEASE use your ISP's mail server for this
purpose. They are better setup for this sort of heavy duty
usage, and you won't clog our SMTP server, which also needs
to provide resources to other users.
