This is to change over from the old email server at pop3.okcomputer to our new server at SITEHOST.
- In your email program (Mail, Outlook, etc) create a new email account
- Use the following settings:
- In Outlook choose MANUAL SETUP
- Select an IMAP account
- Incoming mail server: mx1.sitehost.co.nz
- Outgoing SMTP server: - same as the incoming, but use SSL, see: SMTP Settings
- Username (logon): your full email address: XXX@YYY.co.nz
- password: [as given to you]
- Click advanced/more settings and find where it says incoming server port
- Tick the box (or drop-down list) to say: This server requires SSL (it will change IMAP port from 143 to 993)
- Make sure the new account is the default
- Send a test email to yourself
If you have problems finding any of the above settings, look at the screenshots here: http://kb.sitehost.co.nz/faq-mail/configure-mail-client
Problems with logon or password, test it on the Webmail: http://okcomputer.co.nz/webmail
