Do you have online instructions for setting up Microsoft Outlook Express?
Instructions for configuring Outlook may be found
here
Outlook Express may be configured thrugh your Cpanel control panel that is installed on your hosting account.
- The server
says the user already exists, but it doesn't, what do I do?
When you first signed up with your local ISP, you had to select a unique
user name. When you choose your domain name, it had to be unique. A unique
name applies on our servers also. Every webmaster wants to have the
address of webmaster@mydomain.com and every business wants to have the
address of sales@mydomain.com. Popular names are probably already taken by
another domain. There are two alternatives to resolving this problem:
1) Use an email alias. Aliases are domain specific.
2) Use a variant of the name. For example, if the name of your company is
Acme Widgets, then an acceptable variant could be acmesales@ or awsales@.
- How do
I setup my email software?
Since there are many software applications available for accessing your
email, we cannot give specific instructions for all packages. For specific
directions refer to your email software manual or help files. In all email
applications the POP3 and SMTP servers must be set as follows:
POP3 server: mail.yourdomain.com
SMTP server: mail.yourdomain.com
Note: Some ISP's require you to send mail from their
servers. If you are using a free access provider your ability to send mail
out of your domain will almost definitely be blocked. If your ISP blocks
port 25 you will not be able to send mail except through your ISP's mail
account. If this is the case the SMTP server must be set to yourISP.com.
- My site
control panel says I can only have 20 users, what happened to unlimited?
Each server is limited to the actual number of users it can handle. We use
this number to track the number of actual users on each server. Each site
can setup as many users as they like. If you need more, email support@mattcas.com and they
will raise the number.
- My email
software will not send mail, it asks if I POP'ed before SMTP, what does
this mean?
Due to anti-spam provisions built into our servers you are required to
access your POP account (check for new mail) before you will be allowed to
use the SMTP server (send mail). The easiest solution is to check for new
messages again, thereby using your password to log into your POP account
again.
