| E-Mail Setup
Mail programs vary in the way you setup preferences and options. Remember your POP3 account is the account name you specify in your Mail Manager and your incoming POP3 server is always yourdomain.com
You create/delete/edit email usernames and email passwords at the e-Mail icon through your web browser at the Control Panel Login. Note: Your email username/password is not necessarily the same as your web hosting account username/password.
You can use our Web-Based Email Program or a free downloadable E-Mail Client to Check E-mail (see below). The web-based program is a simple sender/receiver that can be accessed through Web Mail Login while the downloadable program is a more powerful solution.
E-Mail Setup:
Incoming Mail (POP3): yourdomain.com
Outgoing Mail (SMTP): Same as the email account with your ISP, for example if your provider is EarthLink, it will look like this: mail.earthlink.net, This will not effect your email address, just the outgoing server it is sent through, no one can see the difference.

POP3 Account Username: This will be the email account name (i.e. 'webmaster' or 'support') you create through your mail manager in your control panel, note this will not always be the same as your control panel login and password, this can be different and changed through the mail manager in seconds.
All mail by default (any-address@yourdomain.com) will automatically be forwarded to your main account, so it's not necessary to create separate mailboxes for different accounts unless they are assigned to different people. Additional accounts can be created, edited, deleted from the mail manager. Note, you can setup different passwords from your mail manager for each email account.
