I have been getting responses from some users to questions as to what you should do in the event that you have already signed up for EVERWORKS Web & Email Hosting solution, and ask, "how do I connect it to Microsoft Outlook on my computer for me to receive emails more efficiently?"
Please take note that after signing up for EVERWORKS Web & Email Hosting solution you are allowed to access to the mail server through two (2) options:
- Webmail
- Email software - Microsoft Outlook
Introduction
EVERWORKS defines your mail exchanger record (MX record) - read more on MX records here - through your domain name as "mail.[domain].com" / "mail.[domain].com.my (applying to whichever extension your domain uses).
For example: If I have a domain of "www.hosting.com" EVERWORKS would define my MX Record as "mail.hosting.com" likewise if it was ".org" or ".com.my" or ".my" or etc.
Breakdown of Micrsoft Outlook Mail Information
This is a breakdown of the main list of configurations that needs to be configured in either Microsoft Outlook or Express for retrieving emails:
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server: mail.[domain].com
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Port: 26
Incoming Mail (POP3) Server: mail.[domain].com
Incoming Mail (POP3) Port: 110
*Please take note :- SMTP Authentication is required for POP3 email access using either Microsoft Outlook or Express.
Where to make your changes
As highlighted above in the breakdown you would need to key in the important particulars for Outgoing and Incoming Mail before you can receive any email in either Microsoft Outlook or Express. It seems like a daunting task at first, but if you go through this image below, you will find it to be rather easy, and not as difficult as you may think.
If you are setting up Outlook for the first time or you are adding a new email profile and the setup doesn't finish successfully, because it cannot detect the mail server you typed in, there are some things that you can try to get it to work:
You can wait a little while and try again. Sometimes, the destined mail server might just be having a temporary hiccup or an unstable network connection.
If trying again doesn't work, you might have to use custom settings.
