Email Software Setup
Spamming is STRICTLY prohibited.
It is a simple process to set up your accounts to send emails. We've included
instructions for the four most popular email clients below.
Eudora Lite Email 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) Install and start up the Eudora program
2) Select "Settings" from the "Special" menu
3) Select the "Getting Started" tab, then under Real Name, enter your Real
Name.?
4) Under "POP Account," enter your dialup email address.
5) Leave Return Address blank unless you want people to send return email to
you at a different email account. You can use one of your domain addresses in
this area if you wish.
6) If you use the Macintosh version, the radio button for TCP/IP connection
should be highlighted.
7) Click the "Personal Information" tab (also only for the Macintosh version).
8) Under POP account, put your dialup email address, again.
9) Fill out the "Real Name" and "Return Address" as you did before
10) Under "Dial up User Name," enter your username. This is the username
you use with your dialup account.
11) Click the "Hosts" tab, then enter your domain name.
12) Go to the "Checking Mail" tab and make sure "Save Password" is
checked.
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 wherever 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. If you checked "Save Password" as in step 12, Eudora will
not prompt you again for your password after the first time. If multiple users
have access to your computer, and you don't want them to have access to your
email account, make sure "Save Password" is unchecked
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 must always use your
dialup account for your outgoing email and using the return email address for your domain
mail account. Your domain account would be your incoming SMTP 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 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).
Microsoft Internet Explorer Email Settings:
Full name = Your name
Email = Email adderss
Internet Mail server = yourdomain.com
Account = username if setting up the main account entire email address if setting up an email address you created.
Pass = password for the account you are checking
Smtp = yourdomain.com
From = anything@yourdomain.com (this can be set to any email account you have
setup for your domain.
Netscape Email Settings:
Your Name = Your name
Email Address = Email address you are setting up.
Reply to = anything@yourdomain.com (this can be your email address for your
domain)
Mail Server username = username if setting up the main account entire email address if setting up an email address you created.
Outgoing Smtp = yourdomain.com
Incoming Smtp= anything@yourdomain.com
To check numerous POP accounts, read the manual or help files that come
with your email client software for configuration.
If you are familiar with the shell (Unix) programs, "pine" and "mail", you can
use either of these to check and send email as well.
Microsoft Outlook Email Settings:
1. After loading Outlook, choose Tools... --> Services ..
2. Click add, and choose Internet E-Mail. Click OK.
3. In the General tab of the email Properties dialog box, fill in your personal
information.
4. Click on the Servers tab, and fill in the server information. The Outgoing
Mail (SMTP) should be yourdomain.com. The incoming mail server should
be your domain information yourdomain.com. Put in your mailbox
username if setting up the main account entire email address if setting up an email address you created in the account name field, and the password below. Click OK.
5. Your new settings will not take effect until you choose Exit and Log off on
the File menu, and then restart Microsoft Outlook.
