Email & POP

[JoeCrowder]

I am trying to put my .ws email account on Outlook, but everything I have tried has failed! I called GDI technical support and all they could do was refer me to the info given in our member's area. I called my ISP provider and they were also of no help. Does anyone have their .ws email account on Outlook, and if so, would you PLEASE let me know how to set it up?  

Thanks in advance!

Hi Joe,

I am using Outlook Express, but I think the steps will be the same.  Since you are using outlook I won't bother explaining what is below, this is exactly what is in my account options section.

First, of course, is add a new account in Outlook and configure the general setting however you like.

Server

My incoming mail server is a POP3 server.

Incoming mail(POP3): email.ws

Outgoing mail(SMTP): This is provided by your ISP.  Mine is smtp-server.nc.rr.com

Incoming mail server

Account name: Your full .ws email address. (yourname@yourdomain.ws)

Password: Your password.  (Mine is...wait...no, never mind)

Uncheck log on using secure password authentication and my server requires authentication.

Advanced

For me everything is unchecked.  Not sure if your numbers will be different but here are mine:

Outgoing mail is set to 25

Incoming mail is set to 110


Really hope this helps.  I know, little things like this can kill ya!

I only use my ISP for connection not email, so in my case what should I use?  I have email client setup to bring in my gmail account, so do I use the smtp form that services?
