Configuring Outlook Express E-Mail Client
To configure your Outlook Express or any other e-mail client,
you need to know your POP3 and SMTP servers. To find them
out:
- Log into H-Sphere control panel;
- Click Mail Service on your control panel home
page.
Your provider's mail server may use different SMTP relays
for sending mail - POP before SMTP or SMTP AUTH.
In POP before SMTP, the relay system collects your IP address
when you authenticate yourself with the POP server, and then
permits SMTP relaying from that IP address for a short period
of time.
In other words, if your server uses POP before SMTP, you
need to check your mail first, only then you can send your
messages. If your mail servers uses SMTP AUTH, you
must configure your Outlook Express to send a login and password
not only when you receive mail, but also when you send it.
Ask your provider which relay the server uses.
