If you are using Microsoft Outlook Express to collect you email, this should help you get started.
In the instructions below, replace yourdomain.com with your real domain name.
- Open Outlook Express
- From the top menu, click "Tools", followed by "Accounts..."
- On the accounts dialog, click "Add", followed by "Mail..."
- On the next dialog, enter your name and click "Next >"
- On the next dialog, enter the email address you want to use for sending email. Note that this can be different from the email address you use to receive email.Click "Next >"
- Set the incoming server type to POP3. Set the "Incoming mail (POP3, IMAP, HTTP) server" to mail.yourdomain.com. Ensure that the "Use SSL" box is checked.
- We recommend that you use your ISPs SMTP server for sending email - consult your ISP for the outgoing mail server details. If you want to use the Z-Host server for sending email, enter "mail.yourdomain.com" into the "Outgoing mail (SMTP) server" setting. There is no need to enable authentication if you are using a Z-Host server to send email. Click "Next >"
- Under "Account name" enter the email address of the POP3 account to receive from. Under "Password" enter the POP3 password you used when you created the POP3 mailbox. Click "Next >"
- Click "Finish".
You can find further information about your domain (including mail server details) at:
http://www.z-host.com/members/details.php
Note: Remember that it can take up to 48 hours for new domain name settings to filter through the Internet. You may will not be able to send or receive emails until this has happened.
