POP 3 EMAIL SETTINGS
The setup of every single email item
available to your account is automated by your
/controlpanel. (Located at http://www.yourdomain.com/cpanel/
Thus, there is no need to contact the technical staff to setup any
of your pop3 accounts, forwards, aliases, lists, or
auto-responders. Simply check out the Email section of your
/cpanel/, and then the various options within.
Within each
menu, there is a small help guide explaining the exact purpose of
each item.
It is a simple process to set up your
accounts to send emails. We have included instructions for the four
most popular email clients below.

EUDORA LITE MAIL SETTINGS:
This is a
mail program that runs under MS Windows and Macintosh OS. Eudora
connects to the mail server over the Winsock or Macintosh TCP/IP.
Mail may be composed and read off line, but make sure that Winsock
or TCP/IP is running before attempting to send or receive email.
Although your account exists on our server, you won't be able to
receive email at yourname@yourdomain.com until your domain name
becomes live on the WWW.
After Eudora has been installed, it
must be configured to point to your server. To do this, start Eudora
and select "Settings" from the menu bar. Most of the options are
self explanatory. Here are the steps you need to perform to set up
Eudora:
(1) Select
Tools...Personalities. (2) Right click the left-hand side of the
screen. Select 'New'. (3) The 'New Account Wizard' will appear.
Type in a name for this account and select 'Next>'. (4) Select
'Create a brand new email account' and select 'Next>'. (5)
Type in your actual name (not your email address) and select
'Next>'. (6) Type in the email address you wish for people to
send email to (this can be an alias or a true POP box). Select
'Next>'. (7) Type in the true user for this POP box (this is
NOT an alias). Select 'Next>'. (8) Select 'POP' for type of
incoming mail server. Then type in mail.yourdomainname.com in
'Incoming Mail Server' field. Select 'Next>'. (9) Select
'Finish'. (10) Right-click on the new personality created, and
select 'Modify'. (11) In the 'SMTP Server' field, type
mail.yourdomainname.com
That's pretty much all the
configuration Eudora needs. Many of the configuration areas will be
filled in when you go to them, for instance it will usually fill in
the POP account info where ever it needs it after you enter it the
first time. Now, when you select "Check Mail" under the File menu, a
window will pop up asking for your password. Enter in your password
then click on the proceed button and Eudora will check to see if you
have email. You can now send a test email message to yourself and
then check to see if it gets returned to you. Once you have
completed the above steps, you can now send email from your email
client. The next step would be to create multiple accounts using
your email accounts that you have created with your domain. When
setting up additional accounts, you can use mail.mydomain.com for
the outgoing email and using the return email address for your
domain mail account. Your domain account (mail.mydomainname.com)
would be your incoming SMPT and this would look something like this:
(depending on what email accounts you have created)
anything@yourdomain.com and then you would enter your username
(remember your username will be the same as your email
address) and password that you have setup for that particular
email address.
Your default email address is
yourdomain@yourdomain.com, and that's where all your email will be
sent to, unless other configurations take priority (such as
autoresponders and redirects mentioned later).
