You have three
options available for sending and receiving email with your account which are
described below.
1. POP E-mail
Accounts: These are email accounts that you will be able to use with
Microsoft Outlook Express or Microsoft Outlook. With POP email accounts you will
be able to send and receive email from an address like 'john@yourdomain.com'.
To set up these POP email accounts simply login to your control panel and
then click on the 'Add POP Accounts', button and then follow the instructions
for adding a POP account. When setting up your email addresses they can either be POP accounts or
mail forwarding accounts but not both.
To setup your POP email you can
configure your Outlook or Outlook Express with these general settings:
Email Address =
username@yourdomain.com
Mail Server user name = username provided when adding
POP account through control panel
(Note: your
username should be in this format: jill_domi)
Outgoing SMTP
Mail Server = smtp.yourdomain.com
Incoming POP3 Mail Server =
mail.yourdomain.com

2. Email Forwarding: If you
have an existing email account like 'john@yahoo.com' and you would like to
create an email address like 'john@yourdomain.com' and then have mail forwrded
to your current 'john@yahoo.com' address that is sent to your
'john@yourdomain.com' address, then you would choose the email forwarding
option. So if mail is sent to 'john@yourdomain.com', it would actually
just get forwarded to your 'john@yahoo.com' account. With this email
option you would not be able to send mail out as 'john@yourdomain.com. To
set up email forwarding accounts, you would simply login to your control panel
and then click on the 'Email Forwarding', button and then follow the
instructions for creating an email forwarding account.
3. Web
Mail: Your Hosting account also comes with Web Mail. Web Mail is a powerful
program that allows you to access your email 24 hours a day from any browser in
the world!!! If for some reason your ISP does not allow you to send email
then web mail is the perfect solution for you to send email and have it go to
users as AnyName@.
Before
accesseing and setting up Web Mail, you will need to create a POP account first
by following the POP account instructions above. Once your account is
setup follow the instructions below:
Go to this
address: www.myhostingadmin.com/webmail/ and login with the login and
password that was provided to you when you set up your POP account. Once
you login, click on the 'Options' link. Then click on 'Personal Information'.
This is the page you need to set-up. Fill out this page completely or
you will not be able to send mail. Whatever email you specify on this
page is the email that your recipients will see.
