There are two ways to access a mailbox for sending and receiving email
messages:
-
Set up and use an email client program on your computer. Typically,
in such programs you should specify the following settings:-
Username. In this field, specify your full email address. For
example, johndoe@example.com. - Password. Most likely, the password to your email account.
-
Mail server protocol. This property defines whether you want
to keep copies of messages on the server or not. To keep the
copies on the server, select the IMAP option. If you do not
want to keep them on the server, select POP3. Selecting IMAP
will also allow you to train the SpamAssassin spam filter on email
messages you receive, if SpamAssassin is enabled on the server. -
Incoming mail server (POP3/IMAP). Type your domain name.
For example, example.com. The POP3 port is 110. The IMAP port is
143. -
Outgoing mail server (SMTP). Type your domain name. For
example, example.com. The SMTP port is 25. This server requires
authentication.

Use a web browser to connect to the webmail interface.
Note: If you cannot access your mailbox following the instructions in this
section, this might be caused by mail server settings. For example,
the mail server may be secured with an SSL/TLS certificate, making it
necessary to use a specific domain name for both incoming and
outgoing mail, the mail server may be listening on non-standard
ports, access to the ports the mail server is listening on may be
blocked, and so on. Contact your hosting provider to resolve the
issue.
