5. On the Internet Explorer Address page, type your e-mail address, and then click Next.

 

6. On the E-mail Server Names page, fill in the first block of information that you gathered from your ISP in step 1, and then click Next.

 

incoming mail servers : POP3 : mail.yourdomain.com (where yourdomain is your own domain name)

outgoing mail servers :

if your Internet Service Provider (ISP) is NOT Mweb, Iburst, Vodamail or Polka - you can use the same as the incoming mail server. If it IS one of the above, you need to contact them to get the correct outgoing SMTP mail server.

Note: If you're concerned about break-ins to your e-mail, click to clear the check in the Remember Password box. You'll then be prompted for the password each time you send or retrieve mail. But it can be rather annoying, so rather tick it.

8. Click Next, and then click Finish.

 

You're ready to send your first e-mail!
