Advanced Mail Service

In addition to using SiteMail to check your mail over the Internet, you can also use your favorite "traditional" email client. For example, you may want to use Microsoft Outlook when checking email from your home or office computer, but use SiteMail to check your mail when you are traveling.

In order to use an email client, you will need to configure it to work with Way2Host's mail servers. For most clients, you will need to specify the following information:

Information	Description
User name	The full user name for the email account, including the domain name and extension. For example, username@sampledomain.com.
Password	Your password for the email account.
Incoming (POP3) mail server	mail.[domainname.com]
