E-mail Accounts

All sites hosted by Artopa come with email accounts for you to use. You can setup your computer to access your e-mail or your can use a Webmail program to access your e-mail through a browser.

Setting up your computer to access your account

How you setup a new account will depend on which program you use for e-mail. When setting up an account use the following information:

  • Username - Your full e-mail address (username@yourdomain.com)
  • Password - The password provided by your site administrator or Artopa
  • Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - Enter yourdomain.com
  • Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) - Enter yourdomain.com Please note that some ISPs may not let you send outgoing mail with another SMTP, in which case you should use your ISP settings. Also, some ISPs (GWI for one) block the default port 25 and you will need to set the port to 26.

Accessing your E-mail accounts with Webmail

You can read your e-mail online using Horde, or SquirrelMail. All of these popular web mail applications allow you to read your e-mail, save them, keep an address book, and perform all of the other basic e-mail functions. The main difference between web mail and an offline e-mail applications, such as Eudora or Microsoft Outlook Express, is that all of these functions are performed on your web server, rather than on your own computer. While offline applications generally provide more features, web mail offers you the convenience of checking you email where every you have access to the internet.

Web mail is completely optional. You can still use your favorite offline e-mail applications, if you prefer. You can even use a combination of web mail applications and another tool - you can check your e-mail online, perhaps when you’re at work, and download your e-mail to your computer when you get home.

To access your e-mail account from the web go to www.yourdomain.com/webmail and enter your full e-mail address (username@yourdomain.com) and password.
