To determine which server you are hosted on, on the home page in your account control interface, there is a heading "Hosted on:". This will indicate the server where your files/mail are stored

* "Incoming User Name": type the email address here. (i.e. in the case of jsmith@domain.com, "jsmith@domain.com" is the
User Name for this mailbox). Click the "Next" button

14. "Outgoing mail server (SMTP)": type:

15. Uncheck the box "Use name and password".
16. Select "Never" under "Use secure connection".
17. For spam protection we use a function called "POP before SMTP". Whenever you log in for POP3 mail, the server notes the IP address from which the connection was made and permits to send messages from the IP for a limited time. This simply means: first check for new mail before sending
