How to setup my email program

Your first step in setting up your e-mail is to setup the accounts on the server, once the accounts have been setup on the server you can proceed with setting up your e-mail program.

General settings (can be used with most email programs)

Your e-mail address: username@yourdomain.com
Incoming mail (POP) server: mail.yourdomain.com
Outgoing mail (SMTP) server: mail.yourISP.com

It is recommended that use your ISP's outgoing SMTP server. Please contact your ISP for their SMTP server settings. If that's not possible, you can use mail.yourdomain.com (requires SMTP authentication).
