Configuring your Microsoft Outlook Express Email Client

Activating your email account:
Before you proceed in configuring your email client, make sure you have created all your email accounts through your web based control panel under Mail.

After configuring and activating your email account, you may then proceed to configure your email client (eg. Eudora, Netscape Messenger, Outlook or Outlook Express).

Select POP3 for you incoming mail server.
 

In the Incoming Mail (POP3 or IMAP) Server field, enter the POP or mail server that was given to you. For example: If the domain you registered is "www.yourdomain.com" then your incoming mail server would be "mail.yourdomain.com".
 

In the Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server field, we highly recommend using the outgoing or SMTP server of your Internet Service Provider (ISP). The reason is because you should experience faster performance from your own ISP. In some cases, you will not be able to use your ISPs SMTP server for sending out emails.

If you are using our SMTP servers please be sure to set your outgoing mail server to "mail.yourdomain.com" from within your email program.

Click on Next to proceed.

Enter the password you use to register in your web based control panel.

Click on Next to proceed.

Click on Next to finish configuring your email account.

Click Close. This completes the basic setup - you should now be able to send and receive email in Microsoft Outlook Express.
