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 email
accounts.
After configuring and
activating your email account, you may then proceed to configure your
email client
Configuring
Microsoft Outlook Express

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

Select the Mail tab.
Click the Add
button and select Mail.

Enter your full name when
requested, then click on 'Next':

Enter your e-mail address.
(Example email :john@anything.com)
Click on Next to proceed.

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. 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 also degrades the server performance.
Click on Next to proceed.

In the POP 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 the password you use to
register in your web
based control panel.
Click on Next to proceed.

Next, name your internet mail account
any name you want.
Click on Next to proceed.

Select "I will establish my
internet connection manually".
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.
