There are three ways to check your email: Outlook (express), or a different email client that runs on your
computer, and WebMail, which you can access securely through any web browser.
Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express
Your cPanel includes a link that you can click which will automatically set up and configure your email
accounts to work on your computer.
1) When you log in to your cPanel, click "Manage Accounts" under the Email menu
2) Click the "Outlook (express) auto-config" link next to the email account you want
to check from your computer.
3) Follow the prompts, confirming everything.
The next time you open Outlook (express) your email will be set up and
ready-to-go. You'll just have to enter your email password one time.
Other Email Clients
There are a variety of mail clients on the market today. Regardless of which one you are using, the following
settings should be sufficient to allow you to connect to your web site email accounts.
incoming mail server: mail.yourdomain.com (replace "yourdomain.com" with your actual domain)
outgoing mail server: mail.yourdomain.com
Username: Your full email address
Password: The password for that email account
Make sure that outgoing settings are the same as the settings for incoming email.
WebMail
You do not need to be at your normal computer to check email. With WebMail you can check your
email from any computer in the world using any web browser. There is both a standard url and a
secure url (to encrypt data and login information).
http://www.yourdomain.com/webmail (standard url)
https://www.yourdomain.com:2096 (secure url)
When the prompt comes up asking you to log in, be sure to enter your full email address (NOT your
username) and your email password. After you log in, you'll see three different web mail services. They
all access the same email server, so you can use them interchangeably. In other words, deleting an email
in one will delete that same email in the others.
