1. Open
Outlook Express
2. Move to the
"Tools" drop down menu and select
"Accounts."
3. Select
"Add Mail" from the "Right" menu
option.
4. In the
"account name box", enter a name for your mail account, and
click "Next."
4. In the
"Email Box", enter the email address for this account and click
"Next."
5. Set

8. Do not exit your account
settings yet! Highlight your "New Account"
and select "Properties."
as illustrated in the following example:
9. In the properties dialog box,
select "Servers", then select the
"My Server Requires Authentication"
option as shown below:
That's pretty well it! Close your
account settings and test out your new address by sending a message to
it. If you're able to send a message, and receive that same message
in your new account, then congratulations! - you've successfully setup
your first email account on our servers. You can configure as many
email accounts as your like in Outlook Express using the same above
process.
Potential
problems with sending mail:
Due the the mass amount of abuse from a few problem souls, an
increasing number of ISP's are disabling ability to "send mail"
through someone else's SMTP server. If you receive an
error
message when attempting to use our "Outgoing SMTP" server, it
probably means your ISP has denied access to (what is otherwise known)
as 'third party relaying." To solve this problem, simply go back to
your account properties, and select the "server settings" tab.
Then, there are two things you must do:
1. Change the
"SMTP Outgoing Mail Server" settings to
the same ones as you're using on your ISP's email account. To do
this, have a look at "Step 8" just a few above this one. In this
case, select the properties of your ISP mail account, then go to
properties, and select "Servers." Copy
those "SMTP Outgoing Mail Server"
settings to your new account, or write them down and enter them in
manually.
2. Deselect the
"My Server Requires Authentication"
option.
DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING ELSE! You can now
receive mail from your domain account, while sending mail will be
accomplished through your ISP's SMTP servers. This will in no way
effect the performance or look of your email messages coming from your
domain.
Note:
PLEASE… DO NOT send large volumes of mailings through our SMTP Relay
server. It's really provided as a courtesy to our users, and not
something to be used for mass mailing list purposes. If you're sending
large emails, or are running a mailing list, PLEASE use your ISP's
mail server for this purpose. They are better setup for this sort of
heavy duty usage, and you won't clog our SMTP server, which also needs
to provide resources to other users. We also have a zero tolerance for
SPAM
