Sending
and Receiving Email
To send and receive your email from your new hosting
account, you will need to set up these email accounts on the email
software installed on your PC.
Please remember that for your email accounts to
work you will need to set them up on your hosting account via your
Personal
Control Panel first.
If you have additional email accounts supplied to
you via other Internet Service Providers then your email software
will need be able to handle multiple accounts. Software such as
Outlook Express (free with Internet
Explorer) or Eudora
Pro are excellent choices for this.
If you do not what to change your email software
to handle more than one account or are subscribers to AOL, your
SO Hosts email will need to be "forwarded" to your existing
account.
The email server details which you will need are:-
| Incoming
email (POP3 Server) |
mail.yourdomainname* |
Outgoing
email (SMTP Server)
|
smtp.yourISP** |
| Account
Name |
youremail@yourdomainname |
| Password |
the password you set up
for the email address |
*Remember
that yourdomainname represents the domain name SO Hosts has
registered or transferred for you.
** To send
email you will need to use your ISP's SMTP server address, i.e.
smtp.freeserve.net.
You
can find these details in the properties of your ISP account (in
Outlook Express click Tools> Accounts> then the Mail tab and
then the ISP account then Properties, then the Servers tab).
To help you further please use our step-by-step
tutotial to set up new accounts on your email
software.
Nobody
You will be supplied with an email
forwarder called nobody@yourdomainname. This is a 'catch
all' for any email with any wording preceding @yourdomainname and
is very useful in collecting email where the address has been miss-spelt
or doesn't actually exist.
To ensure you get email from this account
simply amend the desitination address to one of your existing email
addresses.
Webmail
To access your email via a web browser
from anywhere in the the world simply type http://webmail.yourdomainname.
You will then be asked to enter the full email address you wish
to access and its password.
Once you have logged in you can reead,
reply and forward email as well as compose new messages. You have
a set of persoanl and email preferences where you can add signatures
or configure how you view your email.
