Setup your email using Outlook, Outlook Express, web based and other email programs.

To setup Outlook 2000, Outlook Express 6 (similar to others):
1. Go to TOOLS > ACCOUNTS > MAIL tab > NEW or ADD > MAIL

2. Type in your name or what you want people to see under DISPLAY NAME >
click NEXT

3. EMAIL ADDRESS (will be whatever@YourDomain.com) >

4. POP3 (usually it's mail.YourDomain.com, however, check with your email provider)

5. SMTP (this is tricky, if on a lan, the SMTP may be the same as your POP3
and you must do step 9 below. If using a dial-up or highspeed account, you will need to get the SMTP from your online provider.)
click NEXT

6. ACCOUNT NAME same as EMAIL address in step 3; PASSWORD given to you by your representative
check SAVE PASSWORD click NEXT

7. Choose LAN, Dialup or whatever is used to connect to the internet.  
Click NEXT then FINISH

8. Select PROPERTIES > GENERAL tab (change very first box name to anything you
want, this helps you know the which email box you're using if you have more than one.)

9. Do this step only if your SMTP is the same as the POP3 in step 4 and 5 above.
Now PROPERTIES > SERVERS tab > OUTGOING MAIL SERVER, check "My server
requires authentication"

Select SETTINGS > choose "Log on Using" and type in your user name and password (the same as step 6 above - your full EMAIL address and password).
Click OK and then OK and CLOSE.

To setup your email boxes via the internet

Note: most the time we do this step for you, however, for those who have chosen to maintain their own email boxes please follow the steps below.

Go to
http://mail.YourDomain.com
Username: webmaster@YourDomain.com
pswd: given by your representative

After logging in, next to the time in the upper right corner there's a pulldown menu "Options and Styles."
Pull that down and go to the "Admin Options" section (in read) and select "User Administration."
Choose to "add, modify or delete" the email boxes or change passwords.

To setup the alias or mail forwarding options, after logging in to the specific email account:
http://mail.YourDomain.com
Username: EmailBox@YourDomain.com
pswd: given by your representative

Next to the time in the upper right corner there's a pulldown menu "Options and Styles."
Pull that down and go to "Preferences" under "My Options". When the window pops up scroll down to "My forwarding address" (towards bottom) just above "My vacation message." Type in the forwarding email box and then click SAVE at the bottom.
