Adding email accounts to email programs such as Microsoft Outlook and Mozilla Thunderbird

To use the email accounts in your email program, you need to add the account information. This information lets the email program access your email account on the site builder mail systems. All email programs are different, but require the same basic information to send/receive email.

Use the following steps to setup your email accounts.

Get your email account information:

1. Go to the email accouts page in your website admin.
2. Click the setup/help link by the email account.

Add the account into your email program:

1. Find the option to add an email account.
2. Enter your email address.
3. Enter your email account name (same as your email address).
4. Enter your email password.
5. Set the mail server type to POP3.
6. Set the SMTP server name.
7. Set the POP server name.

Advanced settings:

1. Change the SMTP port from 25 to 5050.
2. Change the POP port from 110 to 5051.

Once these setting have been entered you can send/receive email using your email program.

Email aliases

Email aliases allow you to add additional email addreses/names to an email account. With aliases setup you can have one email account receive email for many different email addresses. Aliases make it much easier to receive email for different addresses because you do not need to setup a unique email account for each email address you want to use.

Ex. you can setup aliases so that contact@yourdomain.com, info@yourdomain.com, sales@yourdomain.com to all go to the same email account.

To add an alias to an email account, click the edit link by the email account and scroll down to the alias section. Enter the alias name and click the Add Address button.

Email forwarding

With email forwarding enabled, you can set email received on one email account to be forwarded to a different email account. To forward all mail received by the account to another address, click the edit link by an email account, click the forwarding checkbox, enter in the address that will receive all forwarded email and click the Set Forwarding button.

• We cannot guarantee delivery of forwarded email since the email server being forwarded to may not allow forwarded emails or consider them to be spam. Also, all forwarded email will be subjected to spam filtering.

Auto responders

The auto responder will send an autoresponse message to the sender for all email that is received for the email account.

To setup the email account autoresponder:

1. Edit the email account.
2. Scroll to the bottom of the email account settings page.
