Your Webmail feature provides you with an easy interface through which you can retrieve your messages. Your hosting account supports Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, and the Macintosh OSX version of Apple Mail. You can configure these supported programs to retrieve and send mail through your account using either POP or IMAP.
Depending on which version of an email client you are using, actual configuration steps may vary.
To access your email settings you will need, log into your Control Panel, and then click Profile and Usage Summary, or select Preferences and Settings-Profile and Usage Summary. Your Profile and Usage Summary window appears.
You will require the following information from the Profile and Usage Summary window to set up a third-party email client:
Your User ID.
The domain name associated with this account.
Your incoming and outgoing Mail Server names. These two names should be the same.
To set up Outlook to retrieve your Control Panel mail:
Open Outlook.
Select Tools-Email Accounts. The E-mail Accounts pop up window appears.
Select Add a new e-mail account.
Click Next. The E-mail Accounts-Server Type pop up window appears.
Select POP3.
- If you are setting up Outlook using the profile of a user you created, the User ID, Password, and Name fields need to apply to that user; but the mail server names remain the same.
Click Next. The E-mail Accounts-Internet E-mail Settings window appears.
Type the name you want to appear in the email header records in the Your Name: field.
