How do I setup my POP3 email accounts in my Mail client (Outlook, Thunderbird, etc..)?

Solution After you've created your POP3 account in Plesk (http://www.ourgig.com/support/knowledgebase.php?article=61), you can set up the account in your preferred Mail Client, or you can read your Mail using the WebMail service which is part of every hosting account.
To set up your account in a Mail client such as out look, use the following settings :

1. username

Your Username is the full email address, including the domain name, of the account you created. E.g. info@yourdomainname.com

2. password

Your Password is the password you entered when you created the account in Plesk

3. Incoming Mail server (POP3)

Your Incoming Mail server (POP3)is mail.domainname.com where domainname.com is your actual website domain name

4. Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)

Your outgoing mail server is mail.yourdomain.com. Also ensure that the setting to require authentication is checked.

*Many Virus and SPAM conscious ISPs now require you to use their outgoing Mail server to help reduce the proliferation of viruses and eliminate SPAM.
