How do I configure Outlook or Outlook Express for my email?

Email is used for communicating by "mail" with other people on the Internet. There are many e-mail programs currently being used on the Internet. Please note that our Customer Service Representatives might not have information on how to configure/use your specific E-mail program.

When setting up your e-mail program(s), the following settings will most likely be used when configuring the program.

1. Incoming (POP3) Server: mail.yourdomain.xxx
2. Outgoing (SMTP) Server: mail.yourdomain.xxx
   **Some Internet Access Providers require you to use their SMTP server.
3. POP3 account/user name: yourfullemailaddress (me@whatever.com)
4. POP3 account/user password: This is the password for the POP email account that you have created.

Below is how to configure some of the popular client side email applications.
