Working with your new eMail account.

Contact me to set up your new domain based email account. Once I have set it up you will be able to receive email under that domain.

What does this mean? Well, my domain is CameronWebServices.ca and my email is Steve@CameronWebServices.ca. I can receive email under this domain. My email can be viewed online through an online email program at: mail.CameronWebServices.ca. Your email will be viewed at: mail.yourdomainname, it will end in .ca or .com depending on which you have registered. This is the online application that allows you to access your email. You will be able to see incoming email and you will be able to write out going email. This email software is similar to hotmail, yahoo or Gmail.

When I go to my email at: mail.CameronWebServices.ca I enter my username: Steve@CameronWebServices.ca and my password. I will then have full access to my email account including changing my password, viewing my calendar, etc.

Personally I hardly ever go to the online version of the email system because I hook into it through outlook 2003. From outlook it is handled in a transparent way. I read mail from my several different email providers. It logs into each account and downloads my mail all into one mail reader (outlook 2003). Although I can decide which account to send my email through, my default account is the steve@cameronwebservices.ca.

Here is how you setup your outlook (2003) and simular email programs.

1. On the top menu select tools>email accounts.
2. Select a new email account.
3. Select Pop3
4. Enter your name, in my case it is: Steve
5. Enter your email address, in my case it is: steve@cameronwebservices.ca. You will use yourname@yourdomain
6. Enter your POP3 and SMTP which will be both the same, in my case it is: mail.cameronwebservices.ca. You will use mail.yourdomain
7. Enter your usename, in my case it is: steve@cameronwebservices.ca. You will use yourname@yourdomain
8. Enter your password. Ask me to give you your password. If you have changed it and you should so that only you know what it is then use the password that you changed. You will be able to change the password in the online email program (see above)
9. Make sure remember password is checked.
10. Press the button for More Settings ...
11. On the first tab: General - Type the name to refer to the account. I use my email address but you can use anything you like. This value will come up whenever you are presented a list of you email accounts.
12. On the second tab: Outgoing Server. Check my outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication.
13. Select logon using
14. Enter your username and password again as earlier and check remember password
15. On the third tab: Connection - ignore it
16. On the forth tab: Advanced - POP3 should be 110 and SMTP 587 and the servers do not require an encrypted connection so make sure that they are not checked.
17. You will likely want to leave a copy on the server so check this box under delivery. You can change those settings as you like later.
18. Hit the OK button.
19. Now test the work that you have done. Hit the Test account settings button. You should see checkmarks on all of the tests. If you did everything right and it still does not work it is likely one of your port settings and you will need my help. There are other port settings we can try.
20. Hit next and move the account to the top of the list and set it as the default and hit finished.
21. Hit the send/receive button. Send yourself an email and watch what happens.

Now your emails will have a more professional look. Your customers will view your online presence with more trust and respect. There is no better way to manage multiple email accounts.
