How do I set up my e-mail in a POP3 program (e.g. Outlook)?


You can set up your e-mail on a mail program by using these settings (replace mydomain.com with your domain, and username and password with your username and password):



Incoming Mail (POP3): mail.mydomain.com
Outgoing Mail (SMTP): mail.mydomain.com

Account Name: username@mydomain.com

Password: password



Select "My server requires authentication" or equivalent for outgoing email.

DO NOT check the box for "Secure Password Authentication".

Other settings should be ok at default.

If you are having trouble connecting to SMTP, please make sure your ISP does not block port 25. Some ISPs require their customers to use their SMTP servers. If your ISP is blocking port 25, please use port 26.
