When configuring your e-mail program(s), the following settings should be used.

NOTE: If you experience any difficulties in sending mail, make sure your mail program has "authentication" checked ON.

Incoming (POP3) Server: Enter yourdomain.com as the incoming mail server. For example, for this site, the mail server would be entered as jonasweb.net. Do not include the "www".

Outgoing (SMTP) Server: Use either the same server you use for incoming mail (yourdomain.com), or the SMTP mail server of your Internet Service Provider. (Many Internet Access Providers require you to use their SMTP server - check your ISP's documentation to see what their server is.) Note: If you are using yourdomain.com as the outgoing server, you must set the outgoing mail port to port 5190. This can usually be done in the "Advanced" or "More Options" tabs of your account setup.

POP3 account user name login: Your Account ID (usually what is to the left of the @ in your email address)

You will be prompted for a password when you first try to log-in to your mail server. Use the password you requested when setting up your account. To make changes, you can set your passwords here.

Important note: To save disc space and avoid incurring additional charges, be sure to set your preferences so that your mail is NOT left on the server once you download it.

Here are setup steps for some of the more popular email clients. Depending on your operating system and the version of the email client you are using, some of the options and tabs may be somewhat different, but the basic information is the same.
