General E-mail Set-up Information:

POP3 Server Name:

Your POP3 server name is yourdomain.com. The server name will be the same no matter how many POP3 e-mail accounts you set up.

SMTP Server Name:

The SMTP Server Name should be the name of your ISP's SMTP server. Most ISP's do not allow you to send e-mail through a different server. This does not affect your return e-mail address.

Default POP3 user name:

Your default POP3 user name is the same as the master user name for your web hosting account. For example, if your account login is "myname", your default POP3 mailbox is myname@yourdomain.com.

Other POP3 user names:

All other POP3 user names take the form name@yourdomain.com.

Summary of e-mail set-up parameters:

Webmail Access:

All e-mail accounts can be accessed from your web browser by typing http://yourdomain.com/webmail/ (note: the trailing "/" is required!) or http://yourdomain.com:2095 in your browser's address bar. Either of these will present you with a login prompt. You will have to enter the e-mail account name and password used when the e-mail account was created. For e-mail accounts other than the default account associated with the master user name, the e-mail account name is name@yourdomain.com. Once you login, click the "Neomail" icon or link to access your mailbox.

"Uebimiau" is an alternative webmail program that handles html messages better than Neomail but there have been some problems reported with it so be careful if you use it.

Claris Set-up:

Start Claris. Choose Setup and then Internet Setup The SMTP (outgoing mail) server should be the server of your Internet service provider. In the Account Name field, enter your domain name. Put your user name and domain name in the E-mail Account box.
