E.

 Select 'Mail Servers' in the Category bar and then type in:
  • For the Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server, we recommend that you use your ISP's SMTP Server since this configuration works best.  Most ISP's offer an SMTP Server free with their dial-up service and all you need to do is call them to find out what that SMTP Server name is.

    If your ISP does not offer an SMTP Server (like AOL), then you can use mail.yourdomainname.com as the Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server.  But, when using your mail.yourdomainname.com as the SMTP server, you must always check for mail before being allowed to send mail (POP before SMTP).

  • Then hit the 'Add' button in the Incoming Mail Servers section

 In the Mail Server Properties dialog box, type in:
  • Type in mail.yourdomainname.com, where yourdomain.com is your domain name, in the 'Server Name' field
  • Select POP3 Server in the 'Server Type' drop down
  • Type in the full email address in the User Name field for the mailbox you want to check mail for.
  • Check the box next to 'Remember password'.
  • Check the box next to 'Check for mail every'.

For example, if you wanted to check mail for username@yourdomainname.com, you would put in the information as illustrated below. 

If you get an error when using an "@" sign in the acount name field, then go to step G:

*G.

 If using an "@" (at) sign in the User Name field in step F. gives an error, then use the "|" (pipe) symbol instead like shown below:
