What else do I need to know about email?
  • You have to set up your mailbox first - Mailbox Basics and Mailbox Overview

  • Authentication. In order to use our SMTP services - outgoing mail using you@yourdomain.com, you must log into the server, or "pop" the box. After this you'll have a 15 minutes period in which to send mail using SMTP.
    All that means is that you should connect to your mailbox with username and password first before you hit the "Send" mail button. In Outlook you do this by hitting the "Send/Receive" button - that's it!
