Outlook and Other Types of Phones |
There are way to many different versions of Outlook and cell phones for us to list every possible configuration or set of instructions. Instead we would like to suggest that you find a button in Outlook or on your phone that mentions setting up your email. The user name and password are something we either created for you (and gave you a copy of) or which you created in steps in the first section. Other than that all you need to know is that all of these programs are going to ask you for two pieces of information. SMTP - Which means the server address where your out going emails will be sent from
(SEND)
POP - Which means the server address where your incoming emails will be received
(RECIEVE) Webmasters.com uses the same protocols for all websites. This means that you can simply substitute your website name into the information below to get your correct SMTP and POP addresses. SMTP = mail.yourwebsiteaddress.com
POP = mail.yourwebsiteaddress.com Simply insert these in the proper fields along with your email address and passwords and your email should start working. Of course it's a good idea to send yourself a test email just to be sure. |
