How do I use Outlook Express to pick
up my email?
There are lots of different e-mail clients available that support the mail
servers we use at jjsolutions.ie (POP3/IMAP4). A popular client is Microsoft
Outlook Express.
How do I Download Mail?
To download your mail you must configure your POP3 account following the
procedure below...
- First you must open Microsoft Outlook Express and click on the Tools option
from the menu bar.
- Now click on the Accounts option within the Tools menu, and select
Add, from here you will be asked details about yourself and your
company etc.
Once you have entered your Full Name and Email address, you will be presented
with a screen for setting up Outlook with your e-mail server.
Make sure your incoming e-mail server is a POP3 server or it will not
work correctly. All of the virtual servers we sell come with a Pop3 account.
Next you need to tell Outlook Express about the e-mail servers for sending
and receiving e-mails.
- Simply enter in the Incoming e-mail server field the following:-
mail.yourdomain.com
- Now
enter your outgoing mail server name in the outgoing mail server
field:-
mail.yourdomain.com
- Now click on Next to take you to the Mail Logon Screen from here you will
be asked for your username and password. Use the email address you have
created as the username and your chosen password.This is to authenticate
your identity, so that you can send and receive your e-mails.
Make sure you type both your username and password correctly (including
the case of the letters) as you will not be able to retrieve your e-mail
otherwise.
Now you need to configure Outlook Express to the correct type of connection
that you are currently using on your computer. The options available are
- Connect Using a Phoneline
- Connect using a LAN
- I will establish a Connection Manually
Once you have selected one of these options your are now ready
to receive your e-mails on your virtual server.
