All of our accounts are allowed access to POP and SMTP e-mail servers. These allow you to send and receive e-mail @yourdomain.com with popular e-mail clients such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, Pegasus etc. All set up steps for these clients are different, however, I will give examples for setting up Outlook, the menus may be different for your client, but the settings are usually the same.
Outlook has a wizard for setting up e-mail accounts, available from the menu: Tools -> Accounts -> Add -> Mail. Other clients may have an "Add Account" menu option.
You will need some or all of the following settings:
Incoming protocol / server type: POP3
Incoming server: mail.yourdomain.com
Outgoing protocol / server type: SMTP
Outgoing server: mail.yourdomain.com
Your username and password are the ones sent in your welcome e-mail (to the address you signed up with), they are also the same as the login for FTP.
By default, mail to, <anything>@yourdomain.com will be sent to this account, and you can read it with your standard login details, however, you may create extra POP accounts and e-mail forwarding addresses if you wish through cPanel.
Log in to cPanel at https://www.yourdomain.com:2083/ and select: Mail -> Add/Remove Accounts -> Add Account, to add a POP mailbox to your account, with different login details than your main username and password, which collects mail seperatly sent to a specific user @yourdomain.com.
E-Mail forwarding can be set up within cPanel's Mail -> Forwarders -> Add Forwarder pages, so that, for example, mail sent to nick@yourdomain.com can be redirected to nick258@home.myisp.net.
