E-mail Setup Instructions
If you use an e-mail program other than Microsoft Outlook, follow the e-mail setup instuctions in the help file of your e-mail program or contact us and we'll do our best to help you.
Setup your e-mail in Microsoft Outlook by following the instructions below:
- Verify you have a working internet connection, ensure you can browse the internet sucessfully
- Open Microsoft Outlook
- Select E-mail Accounts from the Tools menu
- In the dialog box, select "Add a new e-mail account" and then click Next
- Select POP3 in the Server Type dialog box, click Next
- Here is where you enter your e-mail account details and login credentials
- The Your Name text box should be your name as you want it to appear on e-mails you send
- The E-mail Address text box should be your full e-mail address
- The User Name text box should also be your full e-mail address
- The Password text box is where you enter your password (make sure you don't have CAPS LOCK on when you type this)
- The Incoming mail server (POP3) text box must be mail.yourwebsitename.com (replace yourwebsitename with your actual website name)
- The Outgoing mail server (SMTP) text box usually is mail.yourwebsitename.com (replace yourwebsitename with your actual website name). NOTE: Some internet service providers may require you to use their outgoing mail server instead, you can tell if this is the case if you're having problems sending e-mail but are receiving e-mail OK. To remedy this, you will need to contact the internet service provider at your current location (Comcast, AT&T, Bell, AOL, Telus, Shaw etc.) and ask them what their "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)" name is. If you travel freqently, you'll need to change this setting each time you try and send e-mail through an internet service provider that doesn't allow you to use your own outgoing mail server, just remember to change it back when you connect to your regular internet service provider again.
- Click the More Settings button
- Click the Outgoing Server tab
- Put a check mark beside the My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication checkbox if you are using mail.yourwebsitename.com (where yourwebsitename, is your actual website name) as your outgoing mail server. If you are using your internet service provider's outgoing mail server, ask them if thier outgoing mail server requires authentication and check or clear the checkbox accordingly.
- Toggle the radio button to the Use same settings as my incoming mail server option, then click OK
- Click the Test Account Settings button
- If you recieve any error messages, write them down
- Double check and triple check your spelling for all of the above settings
- If you have a firewall you need to open port 25 and 110 to send and receive e-mail (ask your network administrator)
- If you aren't able to sucessfully send or recieve e-mail or get an error message in Outlook, contact us
