email client
Configuring
Microsoft Outlook

In Microsoft Outlook, go to the Tools
menu and select SERVICES.

- If Internet Mail appears in the list
of services:
- Click Internet Mail to highlight it.
- Click the Properties button.
- Go to step 9.
- If Internet Mail does not appear,
continue with step 6.
- Click the Add... button.

- In the Add Service to Profile
window, highlight Internet Mail.
- Click OK.

- In the Internet Mail window,
select the General tab.
- Enter your full name and e-mail
address under User Information.
(Example email :john@anything.com)

- Next, select the servers tab.
- In the Incoming Mail (POP3)
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)
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. Also, please aware that in order
to send email though our servers you must have successfully checked
your account within the past 60 minutes. Once you have checked your
mail, you will be able to send mail for the next 60 minutes. We have
our server setup this way so that spammers cannot access our smtp
servers so easily. Otherwise spammers could relay their bulk mail
through your account and send out millions of emails. Not only is
spamming illegal in some states, but it is also a recipe for degrading
the server performance.
- In the Account Name field,
enter the login name you created in the web
based control panel. For example: If the user name you created is
"John" and the domain you registered for is "www.anything.com";
your login name will be "john%anything.com"
-
Enter your password and check remember
password if you wish to save the password in the settings and not
be prompted for the password again.
-
Next, select the Connection tab
and check the radio button for "I establish my internet
connection manually"
-
Click OK. This completes the
basic setup - you should now be able to send and receive email in
Microsoft Outlook.
