How to Setup Email On Your Computer

Required Information

  • Username: [email protected] (your full email address)
  • Password: use whatever password you were assigned or provided.
  • 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)
  • Authentication: The outgoing mail server will require password authentication to send mail. The incoming does not.
  • Connection Security: Due to a recent upgrade in standards and best practices for email and web, we now recommend using an SSL secured connection for regular email useage. The same security feature that keeps you safe while shopping on line by providing you with a “secured” green lock can also keep you safe while using your email too!
