The Tutorial below will give you an idea on how to setup your POP3 email program to work with our email servers. If you are only using our email aliases to forward mail to your existing email provider, then there is no need to reconfigure your email program.

Q: How do I configure my email program so I can read my POP3 email?
A: First, make sure you have established a POP3 user account.

To create a POP3 Account in your email server:

  • Go to your control panel at: http://www.hostinglogin.com/
  • enter your Username and Password and click "login"
  • in the EMAIL ACCOUNTS section click on "Manage Email Accounts"
  • click on "POP3 Accounts" and "Add" Icon to create the account of your choice

Now you are ready to configure your email program to read your POP3 account

This is the basic procedure for 1) setting up, 2) editing, and 3) testing a New Email Account in Outlook Express using our SMTP Mail Server - Note: Your Internet Service Provider may require these modifications

1) To create a POP3 account for "sales" on Outlook Express, follow these steps:

To set up a new mail account on Outlook Express (or Microsoft Outlook):

1) Open up Outlook Express (Start >Programs >Outlook Express)
2) Click on the "Tools" menu from the top of Outlook Express and choose "Accounts"
3) From the new window click the "Add" button on the top right and choose "mail"
4) type in "sales" for the Account Name (this can be changed later) and click "next"

5) in this window (Yes you have an email account) type "sales@yourdomain.com" and click "next"
     Note: "yourdomain.com" is just an example, always replace it with Your Domain Name

6) In this window type "mail.yourdomain.com" in both the Incoming & Outgoing boxes, click "next"
     Note: Your Internet Service Provider may require these modifications

7) Now type in "sales@yourdomain.com" for the Account name, and "testing" for the password . . .
Important: Normally you would let us know the Account Name and Password to set up on your server. . .
in this example we are using "sales@yourdomain.com" and "testing" for the password.

Note: you should not have to check the box that says "Log on using Secure Password Authentication"

8) Hit the "next" button and then the "finish" button to create your account

2) To make changes to your POP3 account for "sales" on Outlook Express, follow these steps:

Now lets do a quick Edit - the "Internet Accounts" Window should still be open . . . if not - Click on the "Tools" menu from the top of Outlook Express, and choose "Accounts" from the pull down menu

  • Select the account "sales@yourdomain.com" in your list of email accounts by clicking on it
  • Click the "Properties" button

That will bring up a window that will look like the picture below

  • Now you can change your Account Name, add in your Name, Organization, & Reply Address.

These are example settings for the "General" Tab
     Note: "yourdomain.com" was an example, it should now show Your Domain Name


Now Click on the "Servers" tab to bring up this window

The Outgoing mail (SMTP) settings
are using Our email servers . . .

Note: Your ISP may require using
their email server for outgoing mail.
if so, apply these modifications



3)
To Test your POP3 account for "sales" follow these steps:

  • Start a New Mail message by clicking on the New Mail Icon at the top left of Outlook or Outlook Express, or click on the File Menu, choose New, then click on Mail Message
  • Make the From: Box use your New Account by clicking on the Down Arrow (at the far right of screen) and choosing sales@yourdomain.com
  • In the To: Box type in sales@yourdomain.com, or click on the word To: and choose sales from the list
  • You can leave the CC: Box blank, or enter in another email address to send a Carbon Copy to
  • In the Subject: Box type in Testing, or whatever you like
  • You don't have to type anything into the body of the message
  • Now hit the Send Icon or click on the File Menu and click on Send Message
  • Wait about 30 seconds after message is sent, then click on the Send/Recv Icon

Your Message should come in on your New Email Account. top
