Email Setup

Email Server Settings

The below information is used for you to access your mail account when using popular email programs such as Outlook or Netscape Messenger.

Please Note: The instructions below include "mail.yourdomain.com" as an address. Just substitute your domain name for "yourdomain.com". Ex: We would substitute "catapultweb.com" for "yourdomain.com".

User Name: Your full email address, ex: support@catapultweb.com
Password: Your password
Mail Type: POP3
Incoming Mail Server (POP3): mail.yourdomain.com, ex: mail.catapultweb.com
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): mail.yourdomain.com, ex: mail.catapultweb.com

A couple of things to remember

You must authenticate when sending mail (it prevents spammers). Found in Outlook 2002 (and up) by going to Tools > Email Accounts > View or change > clicking the "More Settings" button, choosing "Outgoing Sever" and checking the box for "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication".
However, some ISP's (like Verizon) block mail that's not using their servers to send it (outgoing mail server), so you would have to use their outgoing mail server instead of ours. If you don't know their information, just give them a ring. You'll probably need to authenticate, just ask them.
