Generic Configuration Instructions
Configuring e-mail settings may be different from program to program, but all e-mail programs require the same basic pieces of information. Here we list the different items required by most e-mail programs, and the proper way to configure them. If you have difficulty trying to figure out how to configure your particular piece of software, please consult the documentation that came with that program, or contact the software manufacturer.
POP mail
Some e-mail programs can check other types of e-mail boxes as well as POP. If
your program asks you which type of e-mail box you are using, select the option
for POP e-mail. POP e-mail is already the default for most programs.
Address, Return Address,
Reply-To Address
This is just like the return address on a postal letter. Enter the e-mail address
of your account here. Example: address@
UserID, popID, Username
Password POP Server Name, Incoming
Server Name SMTP Server Name, Outgoing
Server Name
Enter the popID that you selected when you created your POP account. Some programs
will ask for a POP Account instead. In this case, enter your popID@YOURDOMAIN.COM
Enter the password associated with your POP e-mail box. Some programs do not
ask for the password until you check your mail.
Enter
Enter the SMTP server provided by your ISP.
