What are the SMTP and POP server addresses?
When setting up email software to retrieve your email, use the info below (replace "user" and "yourdomain.com" with the username and domain name of your account, respectively).
- Account name: your account name will always be user@yourdomain.com. Be sure to include the full username including the @yourdomain.com.
- Outgoing (SMTP) Server: your outgoing mail server will be mail.yourdomain.com.
- Incoming (POP3) Server: your incoming mail server will be mail.yourdomain.com. or you can also use your ISP’s incoming server address.
In order to save disk space in your account it is usually a good idea to have the mail program delete mail from the server after it has been downloaded to your computer or after a certain amount of days have elapsed.
