With Outlook or Outlook express :

Email Address: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
Incoming Mail Server Type: POP3
Incoming Mail Server: mail.YourDomainName.com
Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.yourisp.com (preferred) or mail.YourDomainName.com
Account Name: 'anyone' (for catch all address) This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
Password: Your hosting account or added E-mail account's password

If you use mail.yourdomain.com in your e-mail program when it asks for your SMTP (outgoing) mail server, you must check off "My server requires Authentication." If it asks for your outgoing mail server username and password, this is the username and password for your actual hosting account - not your email account. If you use MSN, and several others, they will not allow you to use anything but them in that line (this is a security measure to prevent SPAM.)

If you have MSN, or another that gives you an error of: "Relay Denied", You must use YOUR dialup SMTP information, where you are asked for your outgoing SMTP account. You should obtain this information from your dialup Internet Service Provider.
