Need help configuring your emails?
If you had SCD Consulting Services convert your website (or designed your website) then you most likely have Hostgator as your hosting server (unless you already had an existing server.)
Here are instructions on how to set up your website email:
Configuring Email Clients
- Adding Email accounts in Mac Mail
- Adding email accounts in Outlook 2007 and 2010
- Adding Email accounts in Windows Email
- Adding Email accounts in Thunderbird
Here are examples from the video tutorial:
- Account type: POP
- Incoming mail server: mail.your-website.com
- Outgoing mail server: mail.your-website.com
- Username: (your email address) name@your-website.com
- Password: (your password, no caps)
If you are setting up your mail in Outlook and are still having trouble try this:
- Change incoming port to 110
- Change outgoing port to 26
- Change incoming mail server AND outgoing mail server to the website IP address
Mobile Email Clients
- Configuring email on a G1 phone
- Configuring email on an iPhone
- NOTE: if your iphone is not sending- contact Shirley for some different configurations to fix this issue
- Adding Exchange Or Z Push Email Accounts On Android Phones
- Configuring An Exchange Or Z Push Email Account On An Iphone
If any of this doesn’t make sense, click on the Hostgator CHAT line, and they will be happy to walk you through the process 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
How to access your email online:
http://www.yourwebsite.com/webmail
Username: your email
Password: your password
Then, I recommend clicking on Squirrel Mail to read your mail.
