E-mail Setup
One an e-mail account has been created you will recieve a message like this with your settings.
(The e-mail account
user@yourdomain.com with the login user+yourdomain.com and password XXX with a quota of XX megs was successfully created.)
Your mail server for both POP3 and SMTP will be mailyourdomain.com
Very Important: Your outgoing server requires authentication and it should use the same settings as your incoming server.
Setting Up Outlook:
First click on Tools and then on Accounts

From the Mail tab, click Add and then select Mail account.
Follow the instructions here and enter your Name and full e-mail address.
Next fill in your mail servers which should both be mail.yourdomain.com and the selection for incoming should be set to POP3.
On the next screen you will be asked for your account name and password. Your account name should be your complete e-mail address.
Very important: Do not check the box for using secure password authentication below.

Once you have completed the setup go to the properties for the mail account you just created. Click on the servers tab and make sure the box for My Server
Requires Authentication is checked or you will not be able to send mail out. By default the settings for this will be use my incoming settings and that is fine.

That should get your mail up and running. There are many versions and releases of Outlook and outlook express so you may have a slightly different interface but
as long as you get the settings plugged into it correctly it will work.
Please refer to the user manual for setting up mail accounts for your exact software should you run into problems.
