POP Email Account Setup
Here are POP setup screenshots for some popular Mac and Windows email programs. Replace the sample info with the following:
- yourdomain.com = your actual domain name
- username = your email username. (ex., info@yourdomain.com: the username would simply be ‘info’)
- password = your email password
- mail.yourisp.com = your ISP’s outgoing SMTP mailserver. Your ISP is the company that you use to connect to the internet (SBC, Comcast, etc.), not Laughing Squid. We are the company that provides hosting for your website(s).
