POP3
E-MAIL SETTINGS
The setup of every single email item available to your account is
automated by your /controlpanel. (Located at
http://yourdomain.com/cpanel/) Thus, there is no need to
contact the technical staff to setup any of your pop3 accounts,
forwards, aliases, lists, or auto-responders. Simply check out the
Email section of your /cpanel/, and then the various options within.
Within each menu, there is a small help guide explaining the exact
purpose of each item.
It is a simple process to set up your accounts to send emails. We
have included instructions for the four most popular email clients
below.
Outlook Express
Eudora
Lite
Microsoft Explorer
Netscape
Microsoft Outlook
OUTLOOK EXPRESS
1. Click on the Tools menu and select Accounts.
2. Click on the Add button and select Mail. This will bring up the
Internet Connection Wizard window.
3. For the Display name, enter your full name and click on the Next
button.
NOTE: You can use whatever you want here with both upper and lower
case letters.
4. For the Email address, enter: anything@yourdomain.com
5. For the option My incoming mail server is a, choose: POP3
6. For the Incoming mail (POP3 or IMAP) server field, enter:
mail.yourdomain.com
7. For the Outgoing mail (SMTP) server field, enter
mail.yourdomain.com
8. Click on the Next button to continue.
9. For the POP account name field, enter your user name. Any pop 3
accounts that you setup will have your email address as the
username. For example, if you request
anything@yourdomain.com, the actual login for that pop3 box
will be "anything@yourdomain.com" So
your username would be "anything@yourdomain.com".
10. For the Password field, enter your password only if you want the
program to save it. This allows you to check your e-mail without the
need of typing in your password at the beginning of every session.
11. Click on the Next button to continue.
12. The next screen asks for Internet mail account name. You can
leave this option at it's default: mail.yourdomain.com
13. Click on the Next button to continue.
14. In this screen, choose the option I will establish my Internet
connection manually.
15. Click on the Next button to continue.
16. Click on the Finish button and you're done!

EUDORA LITE MAIL
SETTINGS:
This is a mail program that runs under MS Windows and Macintosh OS.
Eudora connects to the mail server over the Winsock or Macintosh
TCP/IP. Mail may be composed and read off line, but make sure that
Winsock or TCP/IP is running before attempting to send or receive
email. Although your account exists on our server, you won't be able
to receive email at yourname@yourdomain.com until your domain name
becomes live on the WWW.
After Eudora has been installed, it must be configured to point to
your server. To do this, start Eudora and select "Settings" from the
menu bar. Most of the options are self explanatory. Here are the
steps you need to perform to set up Eudora:
(1) Select Tools...Personalities.
(2) Right click the left-hand side of the screen. Select 'New'.
(3) The 'New Account Wizard' will appear. Type in a name for this
account and select 'Next>'.
(4) Select 'Create a brand new email account' and select 'Next>'.
(5) Type in your actual name (not your email address) and select
'Next>'.
(6) Type in the email address you wish for people to send email to
(this can be an alias or a true POP box). Select 'Next>'.
(7) Type in the true user for this POP box (this is NOT an alias).
Select 'Next>'.
(8) Select 'POP' for type of incoming mail server. Then type in
mail.yourdomainname.com in 'Incoming Mail Server' field. Select
'Next>'.
(9) Select 'Finish'.
(10) Right-click on the new personality created, and select
'Modify'.
(11) In the 'SMTP Server' field, type mail.yourdomainname.com
That's pretty much all the configuration Eudora needs. Many of the
configuration areas will be filled in when you go to them, for
instance it will usually fill in the POP account info where ever it
needs it after you enter it the first time. Now, when you select
"Check Mail" under the File menu, a window will pop up asking for
your password. Enter in your password then click on the proceed
button and Eudora will check to see if you have email. You can now
send a test email message to yourself and then check to see if it
gets returned to you.
Once you have completed the above steps, you can now send email from
your email client. The next step would be to create multiple
accounts using your email accounts that you have created with your
domain. When setting up additional accounts, you can use
mail.mydomain.com for the outgoing email and using the return email
address for your domain mail account. Your domain account (mail.mydomainname.com)
would be your incoming SMPT and this would look something like this:
(depending on what email accounts you have created) anything@yourdomain.com
and then you would enter your username (remember your username will
be the same as your email address) and password that you have setup
for that particular email address.
Your default email address is yourdomain@yourdomain.com, and that's
where all your email will be sent to, unless other configurations
take priority (such as autoresponders and redirects mentioned
later).
