Setting up your POP email accounts can be done easily by following these steps:

1. You first need to go to your users control panel, located at www.YOURDOMAINNAME.com/users. (note: if you're using MS FrontPage, your control panel may be located differently.  If you're in need of the specific address to your control panel, please email support@siteleader.com)  You will need your Username and Password. Once you have entered your username and password, you will see a screen that looks like this:

2. Click on the "add a new POP E-mailbox" link.
   Once there, enter your desired email box name (minus the @yourdomainname.com), a desired password, and then click the "do it" button.
3. We recommend against taking names like "info" and "sales", as they are often already taken on most of our servers. If you need to receive email by a commonly held username such as "info" or "sales", create an email forwarding account.

2. How do I set up my new email box in my email program?

FORWARDING ACCOUNTS: Forwarding accounts, once established, will forward email to the name you specify. For example, if John Doe forwards info@mydomain.com to JohnDoe@aol.com, then John Doe would just check his AOL mailbox as usual. This works the same with any ISP.

POP EMAIL ACCOUNTS: Pop email accounts, once established must be configured in an email program (such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, etc.) in order to work.

Your email program will require the following information to get started:

• The "POP" or "Incoming Mail" server name
• The "SMTP" server name 
• The Email address
• The password

With Siteleader, the pop server is always just "yourdomainname.com", and we do not offer SMTP service (you will have to contact your local ISP for that information. Otherwise, your username is just the name before the @yourdomainname.com, and the password is the one you selected on the control panel.

5. My ISP says that they do not have SMTP service.  What do I do? 

Unfortunately, in this instance, we are forced to recommend that you find a different ISP. AOL is one such ISP that does not provide this service. You are free to try some of the different ISP's such as Big Planet (www.bigplanet.com), Earth link (www.earthlink.net), Prodigy (www.prodigy.net), etc.
