How to Configure Your Email Program

Generic Instructions

Configuring email settings may be different from program to program, but all email programs require the same basic pieces of information.

If you have difficulty trying to figure out how to configure your particular piece of software, please consult the documentation that came with that program, or contact the software manufacturer.

POP mail: Some email programs can check other types of email boxes as well as POP. If your program asks you which type of email box you are using, select the option for POP email. POP email is already the default for most programs.

Address, Return Address, Reply-To Address: This is just like the return address on a postal letter. Enter the email address of your account here. Example: address@yourdomain.com

UserID, popID, Username: Enter the popID that you selected when you created your POP account. Some programs will ask for a POP Account instead. In this case, enter your popID@yourdomain.com .

Password: Enter the password associated with your POP email box. Some programs do not ask for the password until you check your mail.

POP Server Name, Incoming Server Name: Enter yourdomain.com for the POP server name.

SMTP Server Name, Outgoing Server Name: Enter the SMTP server provided by your ISP. UNIX hosting users may enter smtp.yourdomain.co
