)
6) Click next
7) Your incoming mail server is a POP3 server. Make sure that is selected in the drop-down menu
7a) In the incoming mail server field enter the following: mail.yourdomain.com
(yourdomain.com should be replaced with your actual domain name. example: mail.southo.net) |
| 7b) The outgoing mail server you will need to retrieve from your internet service provider. (example: Cox Communications in San Diego is: smtp.west.cox.net) Your internet provider should list it somewhere in the support section of their Website or you may need to call them. |
9) Click next
10) Enter the actual name of the email account. This will be your entire email address. (example:

)
10a) Enter the password that you created or that was provided to you when your email account was created at Southo.net.
|
| 10b) Check the Remember Password box. |
| 10c) You may leave the Secure Password Authentication box unchecked |
11) Click next
12) You should receive a Congratulations page telling you that you have successfully entered all of the information required to setup your account.
13) Click finish to save your settings.
You will now see your new email account listed under the mail tab of the internet accounts window. Click close.
To test your email, create a new email and send it to yourself. This is a good way to see if your incoming and outgoung mail servers are setup correctly. If it fails you will receive an error. Go back into your new email account settings and try again. (tools/accounts/mail tab/select account/click properties)
