2. In Account Settings select New…
3. Choose e-mail service. By default Microsoft Exchange, POP3, IMAP, or HTTP is selected. Press Next at the bottom.
4. Next put your name in the Your Name box as you would like it to appear in your e-mails. Your e-mail address in the E-mail Address box. Finally the password you used to setup your account online or over the phone in the Password box. Retype the exact password again just below the password box to verify.
5. From there you can press Next and it will automatically setup and complete your e-mail account. If it doesn’t automatically detect your settings then check the box marked Manually configure server settings or additional server types.
6. Internet E-mail is the default setting so click on Next.
7. Type in your name the way that you want it displayed in your e-mail messages in the Your Name box under User Information. Next type in your e-mail address in the E-mail Address box. Under Server Information leave the default POP3 selected. In the Incoming Mail server box type in the incoming server name your ISP gave you. In the Outgoing Mail Server box type in the outgoing server name your ISP gave you. They will be different depending on who your ISP is. Under the Logon Information section type in your e-mail address in the User Name box. In the Password box type in the password you setup to create your e-mail account. Check the box Require logon using Secure Password Authentication (SPA) and press More Settings…
8. If your ISP has you using an SMTP relay then you would make the changes here. Go to the Outgoing Server tab and select My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication. Leave the defaults and press OK.
9. You can then press Test Account Settings… to verify that everything is setup right and then press Next and Finish.
You can now send and receive email without having to log into your website. You can also add additional accounts once you have them setup with your ISP.
