How
do I use Outlook Express to pick up my email?
There
are lots of different e-mail clients available that support the
mail servers we use at hosting365.ie (POP3/IMAP4). We recommend
that you use Microsoft Outlook Express a free e-mail client supplied
with Windows and available to download at
www.microsoft.com
How
do I Download Mail?
To download your mail you must configure your POP3 account following
the procedure below...
- First you
must open Microsoft Outlook Express and click on the
Tools option from the menu bar.
- Now click
on the Accounts option within the Tools menu, and select
Add, from here you will be asked details about yourself and
your company etc.
Once you have
entered your Full Name and Email address, you will be presented
with a screen for setting up Outlook with your e-mail server.
Make sure your
incoming e-mail server is a POP3 server or it will not work correctly.
All of the virtual servers we sell come with a Pop3 account.
Next you need
to tell Outlook Express about the e-mail servers for sending and
receiving e-mails.
- Simply enter
in the Incoming e-mail server field the following:-
mail.yourdomain.com
- Now enter
your ISP's outgoing mail server name in the outgoing mail server
field:-
mail.yourdomain.com
- Now click
on Next to take you to the Mail Logon Screen from here
you will be asked for your username and password. Use the email
address you have created as the username and your chosen
password.This is
to authenticate your identity, so that you can send and receive
your e-mails.
Make sure you
type both your username and password correctly (including the case
of the letters) as you will not be able to retrieve your e-mail
otherwise.
Now you need
to configure Outlook Express to the correct type of connection that
you are currently using on your computer. The options available
are
- Connect Using
a Phoneline
- Connect using
a LAN
- I will establish
a Connection Manually
Once you have
selected one of these options your are now ready to receive your
e-mails on your virtual server.
