Incoming POP3: Please adjust this setting to: "mail.yourdomain.com" where "your domain.com" is the value of the web address you have retained and are using. If this does not work please feel free to try "mail.remedywebhosting.com"
Note: Netscape users and select others may experience problems with collecting their mail. In this case, mail server login name must be written with the "%" , "+", or the ":" character instead of the @ sign, e.g. username%example.com
Outgoing SMTP: Please adjust this setting to: "mail.yourdomain.com" where "your domain.com" is the value of the web address you have retained and are using. If this does not work please feel free to try "mail.remedywebhosting.com"
If your outbound E-mail does not work:
First, please make sure that your Internet provider allows you to use a SMTP server other than their own. For instance, Cox@home services do not allow you to use any outbound mail server other than their own. Under the SMTP field you may have to use an address like "smtp.west.cox.net" Please check with you service provider.
Second: Check the box for the setting "My server requires authentication".
