Support  Connecting Using Microsoft Outlook

Please note: Anyone using email on your account should be advised to NEVER open email & attachments if they do not recognize the email address of the sender. Everyday malicious scripts are sent via email that shut down servers. If everyone follows this requirement we can all avoid a lapse in service while the server is repaired!

You can pick up email from your hosting account using any web browser with the following link (replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain name):

http://www.yourdomain.com/webmail

Your account administrator can login to your hosting control panel and use the utility for automatically making the Outook email settings or you can set it up manually following the directions below.

Or you can use Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express by following these steps.
