How do I setup my email to work
with your servers?
Setting up your email client to work with our email
servers should be very easy by using the following information. Since all email software
is a little different in the way that it is setup, we provide a general knowledge for you
to work with.
It is important to note that you will not
need to setup an account for aliases that are forwarded to your main account,
you only need to setup your main account.
To and From Email Address is self explanatory: Yourname@yourdomain.com,
or if you have a sub-domain account with us you will use only the main part of the domain
name such as, yourname@iewebs.net.
Both outgoing SMTP server and incoming POP3 server
should both be set to your domain name using mail instead of www, such as mail.yourdomain.com,
or if you have a sub-domain with us you would use only the main domain name such as mail.iewebs.net.
If you like we can auto-forward any email that comes
to your account on our server to your existing account and there will be no need for you
to worry about setting up your email software.
The following procedure is an example for
setting up Outlook Express.
The following procedure assumes that Outlook Express has been
installed and has already had at least one email account setup with it.
- Click on the Menu Bar and choose Tools > Accounts.
- In the new window that appears click on the Mail tab, then click the Add Button and choose Mail, this will launch
a Wizard.
- In the next window type in the friendly name that you would like people you email to see
as from. Your could use your name here or your title such as; Bob Smith or Webmaster.
- Click on the Next Button.
- In the next window for email address, enter the email address that you are setting this
account up for. This would be your primary email address or your user name
like username@yourdomain.com, you do not need to setup an account for your
aliases.
- Click on the Next Button.
- In the next window make sure that POP3 is selected in the drop down list box and type in
mail.yourdomain.com for both the incoming and outgoing mail servers. In this example
yourdomain would be the domain name that you are using with mail in front of it like;
mail.iewebs.net or mail.onmy.com.
- Click on the Next Button.
- In the next window you will need to use the Username that we have assigned to you along
with your password in the appropriate fields. When you enter your username
you will need to type it in as if it were an email address with your domain
name following somewhat like username@yourdomain.com. The password is case
sensitive so be careful with that and make sure your caps lock is not on. If
you are the only person that uses your PC you should check remember password
so you will not need to enter it for each session. If you share your machine
with another person you may not want to save your password so they will not
be able to access your account.
- Click on the Next Button and in the following window click finish.
- Now highlight the account that you just created by clicking on it and then
click the properties button.
- In the new window, click on the Servers tab and check the checkbox for my
server requires authentication, which is located below the center of this
dialog box.
- Click the Apply button, then the OK button.
- Click the OK button
Hopefully this procedure was clear enough to follow and will help.
