Adding your account in Outlook Express:

   2. Then click on "Accounts" and then "Add"
   3. You will now need to fill out your "Display Name" once, this is done, click "Next"
   4. You will be asked for your "Email Address", this is the email address that you created within your cPanel (i.e. you@yourdomain.com), now click "Next"
   5. My incoming mail server is a "POP3" server.
   6. Your incoming mail server is: mail.yourdomain.com
   7. Outgoing mail server (SMTP) server: mail.yourdomain.com
   8. Now, click "Next"
   9. You will now, be asked for your "Account Name", this is your email address (i.e. you@yourdomain.com)
  10. Your password is whatever you setup in the cPanel when you created your email account.

Making minor changes:

Once the above is complete, you may test it by creating a test messages to another email address that you may have elsewhere (i.e. gmail, yahoo, hotmail) and sending the message. Please note, that you should NOT use the word "test" in your email as our filters will delete it before its sent out.
