  2. Enter your POP Account Information, example username@abc.com
     
    (the following two steps are optional)

After completing the first section, Select "Hosts" within the Tool Bar.

  1. Verify that the POP Account information is correct.
  2. Enter your Internet Service Provider's SMTP Mail Server information.
    Example mailhost.your_isp.com
    (mailhost.your_isp.com is the SMTP Mail Server for that Internet Service Provider)

    Note: Our UNIX web hosting customers can use our SMTP server if you need to have your outgoing e-mail look as if it originated from your domain instead of from an ISP.
