How to Check Your Email with an Email Client
Note: For your email to work, your domain must fully resolve to our servers. This typically takes 24 to
48 hours from the day the domain name was registered or the name servers for the domain were changed to point to
BetterValueWebHosting.
All our hosting plans come with POP3 accounts. What that means is that you have
the option of sending and receiving your email by using an email client like
Microsoft Outlook Express, Eudora Mail and other similar email clients. To do
that you need to create a POP3 email account as explained above and configure
your email client. While the steps below describe how to configure Outlook
Express 6.0, similar steps can be used to configure most other email clients.
- Start your Outlook Express and click on Tools, then on Accounts and an
Internet Accounts window appears with several Tabs on the top.
- Click on the Mail Tab and you will see an Add Button towards the top right
of that window.
- Click on the Add button and then click on Mail. This will start the
Internet Connection Wizard asking you to enter your Display name. Enter your
desired name here; this is what people will see when they receive your
email. For example if you are configuring it for your
Webmaster@YourDomainName.com account, you may type in the Display name as
Webmaster.
- Click the Next button and a screen will appear asking you to enter your
email address. Enter your email address e.g. Webmaster@YourDomainName.com
- Click the next button and on the next screen make sure to choose POP3 from
the drop down menu on the very first line where its says My incoming mail
server is a ..... server. That is, once you have selected POP3 this line
will read: My incoming mail server is a POP3 server.
On the same screen, under both - incoming mail [POP3, IMAP or HTTP] server
and outgoing mail [SMTP] server type in mail.yourdomain.com
Important Note: Due to spamming issues, many Internet Service Providers
(ISPs) block the sending of emails through their connection unless you use
their Outgoing mail [SMTP] server settings. If by using the above settings
of mail.yourdomain.com, you are able to receive email but get error messages
while sending email, then that is a sure sign that your ISP is blocking the
emails. In that case use your ISP's SMTP settings which they would have
provided when you signed up with them. If you have misplaced your ISP's SMTP
settings, you can easily obtain this information either from your ISP's web
site or otherwise contacting them.
- Click the next button and under account name, type in your full email
address e.g. Webmaster@YourDomainName.com and under password type in the
password that your used when you created this email account. Make a check
mark on the box Remember Password if you want your email client to remember
your password otherwise you will have to enter your password manually every
time you want to check your email. Do not make check marks on any other
boxes on this screen.
- Click next and you will be greeted with a message that you have
successfully entered all the information required to set your account. Click
on the Finish button and you have configured your Outlook Express to send
and receive message for this email address.
