Consultwebs.com E-mail Input Form

Please use the form below to input your POP and alias e-mail requests. Please contact cwsupport@consultwebs.com or 919-272-8052 with any questions.

A POP server is where your e-mail is actually stored. When you check your e-mail with Outlook, Outlook Express, Pegasus, Eudora, Netscape or any of the other e-mail packages available, the e-mail client looks on the POP server for the e-mail. A POP account is something that most Internet Service Providers (ISP) provide you with when you open up a local dial-up account. This allows you to use a username and password to get your e-mail from a server where it is stored. 

An e-mail alias is a forwarding address that uses an existing POP account. An alias is sometimes called a "redirect" address.

After your domain has been implemented, you may need to add new e-mail account(s) to your personal computer(s.)  If your domain is being transferred, you may need to make changes to your computer's e-mail configuration.  The instructions for adding new or updating existing Outlook or Outlook Express e-mail accounts are listed below.

Checking or Editing your Outlook or Outlook Express Account Setup After Your Domain has been Transferred

If you already have POP accounts on your PC(s) and only your settings are being changed, you can use the "Properties" area of the Outlook or Outlook Express E-mail configuration area.

Start by opening Outlook and clicking on 'Tools' then 'Accounts' or 'email accounts'. You should see a smaller window is opened called "Internet Accounts" or 'Add a new e-mail account' or View or change existing e-mail accounts. Click on "Next" (click on POP3) or the account you wish to check or edit and then click the 'Properties' button or 'Internet E-mail settings'. You should now be in the "Properties" area under the 'General' tab. Make sure that the email address and your name information appears correctly.

Next, click the 'Servers' tab. Make sure that your Incoming and Outgoing SMTP server settings are correct. An example setup is as follows:

Incoming mail (POP3): yourdomain.com (e.g. consultwebs.com)
Outgoing mail (SMTP): yourdomain.com
Account name: jsmith
Password: m1thEbest (example)      
Remember Password: (checked)
Log on using Secure Password Authentication (SPA): (NOT CHECKED)
My server requires authentication (checked)

Now click 'Ok' and then when you are back at the "Internet Accounts" window, click 'Close' and you're done!  

If you are using Outlook, click on 'Test Account Settings'.  If you are not successful sending or receiving, see our discussion board.

Procedure - Setting Up a New POP Account After Your Domain has been Implemented

Start by opening Outlook Express and clicking on 'Tools' then 'Accounts'. From there you should see a smaller window is opened called "Internet Accounts". From there, select the "Mail" tab (if it isn't already chosen), and click the "Add" button then "Mail" to make a new account. If you are editing an existing account, select "Properties" and skip to the "Checking My Setup" section.

Now you are in the Internet Connection Wizard. First, enter the email address that you are using, for example, jsmith@yourdomain.com (e.g., jsmith@consultwebs.com), and click 'Next'. This is the email address that will appear on your outgoing email (your FROM: address).

Next, enter your email address from which you are receiving email. Normally this is the same as the email address you entered in the last screen. Click 'Next'.

The next screen should be "E-mail Server Names". Select POP3 in the first box titled "My Incoming Mail Server is a ________ Server." The next line asks for your "Incoming mail (POP3, IMAP or HTTP) server:" Enter your domain name, preceded by mail,e.g., mail.yourdomain.com.  In the next box, you are asked for your "Outgoing mail (SMTP) server:" you have two choices here. You can enter the same information as you did for the Incoming mail server (yourdomain.com), or you can use your ISP's mail server (such as mindspring.com or bellsouth.net etc.). When you are done, click 'Next'.

You should now be at the "Internet Mail Logon" screen. Where you are asked for you Account Name, enter the POP3 account name. Enter, e.g., jsmith@yourdomainname.com). Next, enter your password (m1thEbest).  At this point, Do Not check the "Log on using Secure Password Authentication (SPA)" box.

Click 'Next' and then 'Finish'.

Now you should be back to the "Internet Accounts" window. From here, click on the account that you have just set up, and click the 'Properties' button. You will enter into a window called "Properties". Here you should see the settings you entered in the setup wizard. Now click on the 'Servers' tab and click on the checkbox beside "My server requires authentication".

Click 'Ok' and then when you are back at the "Internet Accounts" window, click 'Close' and you should be done! If you need to make changes to the setup later on, you can skip the setup wizard part, and go straight to the Properties section and edit the information for your account there.
