Email and POP 3 Mail Settings

((Important)) If you use Earthlink and MindSpring or MSN Please read this.  ((Important))

Mystiblue Computing does have SMTP servers and we do not charge you any extra for them. We monitor these servers 24/7 and any abuse will not be tolerated. Spamming is STRICTLY prohibited on our servers. If any of our users are caught spamming their account will instantly be terminated.

If you set your email software to check email every certain number of minutes, please do not set for any less than every 15 minutes.  Many users checking mail more frequently than this may cause server slowness.

NOTE: Your existing domain or your new domain must be transferred to Mystiblue Computing in order for you to receive and send email.

It is a simple process to set up your accounts to send and receive email.

Here are your general mail settings:

GENERAL MAIL SETTINGS

Email Address = username@yourdomain.com (.net, .org)
Mail Server user name = username@yourdomain.com
Outgoing SMTP Mail Server = mail.yourdomain.com (.net, .org ect )
Incoming POP3 Mail Server = mail.yourdomain.com (.net, .org ect )

Your default email address is username@yourdomain.com, and that's where all your email will be sent to, unless other configurations take priority (such as autoresponders and redirects). You can set up aditional email accounts in your account control panel. The only thing you have to edit for each new account that retrieves email is their username and password.

We've included instructions for the four most popular email clients below.


Microsoft Outlook express
Microsoft Outlook
Netscape
Eudora Lite

 

MICROSOFT OUTLOOK EXPRESS
 

  • In Outlook, choose Tools... --> Services ...
     

  • Click add, and choose Internet E-Mail. Click OK.
     

  • In the General tab of Properties dialog box, fill in your information.
     

  • Click on the Servers tab, and fill in the server information. The Outgoing Mail (SMTP) should be mail.yourdomain.com. The incoming mail server should be mail.yourdomain.com. Put in your mailbox username in the account name field, and the password below. Click OK.
     

  • Earthlink users click here and MindSpring users click here
     

  • Your settings will not take effect until you close and restart Microsoft Outlook.

    To check numerous POP accounts, read the manual or help files that come with Eudora or your email client software for configuration.

    If you are familiar with the shell (Unix) programs, "pine" and "mail", you can use either of these to check and send email as well.

     

EUDORA LITE

This is a mail program (freely available at Eudora.com ) that runs under MS Windows and Macintosh OS. Eudora connects to the mail server over the Winsock or Macintosh TCP/IP. Mail may be composed and read off line, but make sure that Winsock or TCP/IP is running before attempting to send or receive email. Although your account exists on our server, you won't be able to receive email at yourname@yourdomain.com until InterNIC has activated you in the domain name servers.

After Eudora has been installed, it must be configured to point to your server. To do this, start Eudora and select "Settings" from the menu bar. Most of the options are self explanatory. Here are the steps you need to perform to set up Eudora:

 

  • Start Eudora
     

  • Select "Settings" from the "Special" menu
     

  • Select the "Getting Started" tab, then under Real Name, enter your Real Name
     

  • Under "POP Account" put username@yourdomain.com
     

  • Leave Return Address blank unless you want people to send return email to you at a different email account
     

  • If you use the Macintosh version, the radio button for TCP/IP connection should be highlighted
     

  • Click the "Personal Information" tab (also only for the Macintosh version)
     

  • Under POP account put username@yourdomain.com again
     

  • Fill out the "Real Name" and "Return Address" as you did before
     

  • Under "Dial-up User Name" enter your user name for your hosting account
     

  • Click the "Hosts" tab then enter yourdomain@yourdomain.com again under POP Account, and put mail.yourdomain.com under incoming SMTP Server, and mail.yourdomain.com for outgoing SMTP.
     

  • Go to the "Checking Mail" tab and make sure "Save Password" is checked.
     

That's pretty much all the configuration Eudora needs. Many of the configuration areas will be filled in when you go to them, for instance it will usually fill in the POP account info where ever it needs it after you enter it the first time. Now, when you select "Check Mail" under the File menu, a window will pop up asking for your password. Enter in your password then click on the proceed button and Eudora will check to see if you have email. You can now send a test email message to yourself and then check to see if it gets returned to you. If you checked "Save Password" as in step 12, Eudora will not prompt you again for your password after the first time. If multiple users have access to your computer, and you don't want them to have access to your email account, make sure "Save Password" is unchecked.

Your default email address is username@yourdomain.com, and that's where all your email will be sent to, unless other configurations take priority (such as autoresponders and redirects mentioned later).
