Accessing
Your Email
Your default e-mail
address is usually info@yourdomain.com.
Your username and
password were e-mailed to you when your account was
setup. Please refer to that information when
configuring your e-mail program.
Since there are many
different versions of e-mail programs some of these
instructions might not be exactly the same for your
program. All mail programs however ask the same basic
questions and should be very similar to the below
instructions.
Important Note:
when
setting up your e-mail account for the first time make
sure you check for new mail before trying to send a
message. If you don't, it will come up with an error
when trying to send that message. This is only
necessary when setting up your e-mail account for the
first time.
If you are able to
receive mail okay but are receiving errors while
trying to send mail this is most likely caused by your
ISP not allowing you to use an external SMTP outgoing
mail server. More and more ISP's are only allowing
their subscribers to use their outgoing SMTP mail
server. This is easily fixed by switching
yourdomain.com as the out going SMTP mail server to
your ISP's SMTP outgoing mail server.
