Email and FTP Settings

 

Inbound mail server: mail.yourdomain.com
Outbound mail server: mail.yourdomain.com*
FTP: ftp.yourdomain.com

For example, if your domain name were www.webinmotion.com, your email and FTP settings would be:

Inbound mail server: mail.webinmotion.com
Outbound mail server: mail.webinmotion.com*
FTP: ftp.webinmotion.com

Your username and password for email and FTP access should have been issued by Web in Motion when your account was first setup. If you cannot find this information or have forgotten your password, you can contact us to have this information reset.

* - Some ISPs through which you have connectivity (dial-up, DSL or cable) require you to use their outbound mail server to send email messages.

Set “Outgoing mail server (SMTP)” to the Outgoing mail server you were provided with (typically “mail.mydomain.com”)*.
  9. Supply the Account name and password you were given in the appropriate boxes. Make sure to check the box asking if the password you supply should be remembered (if it is not already checked).

  12. Typically, you will wish to select “Connect using my local area network (LAN)” if you are already connected to the Internet when you check your email. However if you have a dialup Internet connection (as opposed to a DSL or Cable connection) you can select “Connect using my phone line” if you wish to setup the account to dial up your ISP whenever checking email. This will cause Outlook to dial the number you specify if a connection to that number has not already been established. Click Next.
