HOW DO I SET UP MY E-MAIL SOFTWARE TO RECEIVE E-MAIL?

(cPanel hosting only)

Select one of the following email clients for more detailed instructions:

Outlook Express 5 and 6 

Step 1: Open Outlook and select 'Tools' -> 'Accounts...' from the menu bar.

Step 2: From the next screen choose to 'Add' -> 'Mail'.

Step 3: Enter your name as you would like it to be displayed when someone receives your email. Then click 'Next'.

Step 4: Enter your email address. Then click 'Next'.

Step 5: Select 'POP3' for the Incoming mail server type. Enter the name of your Incoming Server (mail.yourdomain.com) under 'Incoming mail', and your Outgoing Server (If not certain, obtain this from your ISP) under 'Outgoing mail'. Then click 'Next'.

Step 6: Enter your Username into the 'Account name' field. This should be in the format: user+yourdomain.com. Then enter your Password. Leave the 'Log on using...' checkbox blank, and click 'Next'.

Step 7: Click 'Finish', and you're done.

Outlook Express for XP and Outlook 2003 

Step 1: Open Outlook and select 'Tools' -> 'Email Accounts...' from the menu bar.

Step 2: Select 'Add a new e-mail account'. Leave the 'Directory' choices blank, then click 'Next'.

Step 3: Select 'POP3', then click on 'Next'.

Step 4: Under 'User Information', enter your name (as you want it to appear on outgoing email) and your email address. Under 'Logon Information' enter your Username (user+yourdomain.com) and Password. Under 'Server Information' enter the 'Incoming mail server' (mail.yourdomain.com) and the 'Outgoing mail server' (If not certain, obtain this from your ISP), then click 'Next'.

Step 5: Click 'Finish', and you're done.

Eudora 5.0 and 5.1 

Step 1: Open Eudora and select 'Tools' -> 'Options...' from the menu bar.

Step 2: In the dialogue box fill in the blanks. 'Real name' with your name, 'Return address' with your email address, 'Mail Server (Incoming)' with your Incoming Server (mail.yourdomain.com), 'Login Name' with 'username%yourdomain.com' (make sure to use % and not @), and 'SMTP Server (Outgoing)' with the Outgoing Server (If not certain, obtain this from your ISP).

Step 3: Click in the 'Checking Mail' icon on the left menu. Ensure that your login is in the format: 'username%yourdomain.com'. 'Check for mail every ___ minutes' should not be set any lower than 10 minutes. 1-2 minutes is lower than needed, and will put an unnecessary load on the mail server.

Step 4: click on the 'Incoming Mail' icon on the left menu. Ensure that the 'Leave mail on server' box IS NOT checked.

Netscape 7.2 

Step 1: Open Netscape and select 'Window' -> 'Mail & Newsgroups' from the menu bar.

Step 4: Under 'Your Name' enter your name as you would like it to appear on outgoing mail. For 'Email Address' enter your full email address. Click 'Next'.

Step 5: For '...type of incoming server...' choose 'POP'. Enter your 'Incoming Server' in the format 'mail.yourdomain.com'. Then enter the 'Outgoing Server' (If not certain, obtain this from your ISP). Click 'Next'.

Step 6: Enter your Username (user+yourdomain.com) in the 'Incoming User Name' field. Verify with your Internet Service Provider to find out whether or not you need to specify an 'Outgoing User Name' in order to send your emails. Click 'Next'.

Step 7: Enter the 'Account Name' field, typically it reflects your email address so that you can identify the account in a list if you have several different addresses that you check. Click 'Next'.

Step 8: The summary screen allows you to verify the information that you have entered. If it is correct click 'Finish'. Otherwise click 'Back' and make the necessary corrections.
