Collecting your e-mail from your virtual server should only take a few minutes to setup.

We would recommend that you use Microsoft Outlook Express or similar client, if you don't have a copy of this then you may download a copy from the Microsoft Site.

First of all launch Outlook Express and select "Tool" from the top menu, once you have done this select "Accounts". You are now at a screen that allows you to setup a new POP3 account (a POP3 account is an account that stores mail on the server).

On the right hand side of the screen that has appeared there is a button which says "Add", click this and select "Mail" from the list. You are now in the "Add a new mail box wizard". The details to enter in each box are below:-

Display Name: Enter your real name here

E-mail Address: yourname@yourdomain.com (you may enter
anything in this box)

Incoming Mail (POP3 or IMAP) Server: mail.yourdomain.com (enter the name of your domain here, eg mail.grade1.co.uk)

Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server: mail.your-isp.com (enter the name of your
Internet Service Providers outgoing mail server in this box)

Account Name: youraccountname (as sent to you during setup)
Password: yourpassword (as sent to you during setup)

Now select how you connect to the Internet, generally this would be through your phone line. Your mail account is now setup.

As default, your account is setup to catch all email sent to your domain. For example you can choose any number of email addresses to publicise, however all email to whatever will arrive in this mail box.

If you require further mailboxes to be set up for different users, please
email support@grade1.co.uk with the details and this will be done for you.
