This will bring up the Internet Accounts window, then click on “Add” and select “Mail”.
The wizard will then start and ask you for your “Display Name” – this is the name you want to associate with the e-mail address. It is what people who receive your e-mails will see as who sent the mail. Once you have filled that in click “Next”. |

The next screen asks you for your mail server. information; you need to make sure that the top box says “POP3″ (it should already be that by default).In the same way that your website with us is found at www.yourdomainname.co.uk the “Incoming mail (POP3, IMAP or HTTP) server” needs to be set to mail.yourdomainname.co.uk
(Please do not enter any @ symbols into the server address box).
In the “Outgoing mail (SMTP) server” box, if you know it, enter your internet service provider’s outgoing mail server. Otherwise use the same as in the incoming box to use our mail server (mail.yourdomainname.co.uk).
Once you have input this information click “Next” to continue. |

Then input the following account information for the Incoming Mail Server:
Host Name - In the same way that your website with us is found at www.yourdomainname.co.uk the Host Name needs to be set to mail.yourdomainname.co.uk
(Please do not enter any @ symbols into the server address box).
User Name – This will be the user name you were given when the account was created (usually the full email address for the account, complete with @ symbol)
Password – The password field has been completed from your earlier entry. |

Click on the new account to highlight it and click “Properties”. In the box that is displayed click on the “Servers” tab at the top, you should then be able to see a check box at the bottom labelled “My server requires authentication” – tick this box and then click “Ok”.
You will be returned to the main accounts screen and you can now click “Close” to finish.
