Configuring Outlook Express E-mail Client

To configure your Outlook Express or any other e-mail client, you need to know these settings:

• POP3 (Incoming) mail server:    mail.your-domain.com (replace your-domain with your actual domain)
  (Note: if your domain name is not yet transferred or registered, then please use mail.hosting-advantage.com as the incoming mail server until your domain name is active.  You will know your domain is active when you can type yourdomain.com/netfronts and you see a login page.)
• SMTP (Outgoing) mail server:  We recommend you use your ISP outgoing mail server.  Most ISPs will provide this and the connection speed will be faster than if you use ours.  
  
  AOL and MSN do not offer an outoing mail server.  In this case, use mail.your-domain.com (replace your-domain with your actual domain or use mail.hosting-advantage.com)  If this doesn't work, your ISP may be blocking outgoing mail.  See this page for how to resolve this.
