The following are instructions for setting up your computer to send and receive email messages using Web Tek's hosting service. The two most common programs to use are Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express. Email accounts must be initially setup by Web Tek or by you through your Control Panel. After they are setup, you can configure your email program using the instructions below. You can also send/receive email using Webmail.
Go to Tools/Accounts.... and add new email account. A wizard will walk you through the steps. You will need the following information:
Display Name: Who you want it to look like it's coming from
Email Address: user@yourdomain.com (fill in your full email address here)
Incoming Mail Server: mail.yourdomain.com (replace yourdomain.com with your domain name)
Outgoing Mail Server: mail.yourdomain.com (replace yourdomain.com with your domain name)
Username: user@yourdomain.com (fill in your full email address here)
Password: use whatever password you were assigned)
Go back into tools/accounts and select the properties for the newly created email account. Under the servers tab, check the box that says "My server requires authentication" under Outgoing Mail Server.
Please Note: If you get an error message when trying to send mail you may have to change your outgoing mail server to your internet provider. If that's the case, you will also need to go back into tools/accounts and select the properties for the newly created email account. Under the servers tab, UNCHECK the box that says "My server requires authentication" under Outgoing Mail Server.
