Setting up your domain e-mail accounts on our iwhosting.net server at Rackspace.
If you want to set up additional POP3 or forwarding accounts @yourdomain – or if you want to make any amendments to the accounts we have set up for you – go to:
https://67.192.124.79:8443
Username: insert your domain name without the www: [ie web-marketing.co.uk]
Password: insert the password you have been given
Then click on "Home" on the left hand side and then "mail" and set up a new account, choosing a password for this new account, or make amendments to mail aliases for the accounts you set up.
Now you need to set this account up in Outlook or Outlook Express on your pc. You do this by inserting insert the following information in the appropriate fields in Outlook or Outlook Express:
Email address:
Account name: [this is the same as your email address!!]
Password:
Incoming mailserver: mail.yourdomainname [ie mail.whateveryourdomainname is!!!]
Outgoing mailserver: mail.yourdomainname [ie mail.whateveryourdomainname is!!!]
Under More Settings, Outgoing Server, tick the box that says "My server requires authentication".
NB: When you sign up with an internet access supplier [BT, Tiscali etc] they will give you an e-mail address, and they will provide you with instructions as to how to set this up and what you should type in the relevant fields in Outlook, Outlook Express. This is fine if you do not have a domain, but should not be confused with what you need to do if you have a domain and are using the e-mail acounts associated with this domain.
