Email Settings for Outlook, Thunderbird, and other programs

Settings to use when creating or editing email accounts

...When your website is hosted by Autograff

These settings are for use in Outlook. Other programs will require the same information, with similar labels.

The incoming mail server for email for all Autograff-hosted domains is

mail.yourdomain.com or mail.yourdomain.org etc.

The outgoing mail server MAY be the same if your service provider allows it. Your internet service provider (ISP) is the company through which you connect to the internet. You have an account with them, with a username and password. We will call this the ISP login.

When you create an email account, for the incoming mail server, you use mail.yourdomain.com (or .org). For the outgoing server, if your ISP does not allow you to use the same settings for incoming and outgoing, enter one from the list below or ask your service provider. You will find the "Additional Settings" or "More Settings" button. Choose "My Outgoing Server Requires Authentication". Click the button for "Log on Using..." and enter your ISP login information (username and password).

Often spammers will use mail.somedomain.com or smtp.somedomain.com to send spam, pretending it came from that domain instead of from them.
