What are my incoming and outgoing email settings?

Both your incoming and outgoing (POP and SMTP) servers should read:

     mail.yourdomain.com

Check to make sure your email client has outgoing email set to use authentication.

Your ISP may be filtering PORT 25, typically used for sending outgoing email.  This prevents any email other than yourisp.com from being sent.  There are two possible ways around this.

 

1) Use your ISP's outgoing mail server for your emails (they will still be from you@yourdomain.com) OR

2) Change the PORT you use for outgoing email.  You may use PORT 26 instead.

How can I access my webmail?

Point your web browser to http://www.yourdomain.com/webmail
