1. Required Settings

Most email programs that support the POP/IMAP and SMTP email standards for sending and receiving email use the following five primary settings.

  1. Username - You must enter your complete email address.
    (Example: username@yourdomain.com)
  2. Password - This is the same password that you use to login to Web Mail.
  3. Incoming Mail Server
  4. Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
  5. Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) Authentication

In order to send email, you must set your email software to use authentication when connecting to the outgoing mail server. If your email software asks you to enter a username and password, enter the same username and password that you entered in settings one and two above.
