Email - Accessing your email via POP3

Accessing your POP3 mailbox couldn't be simpler.  First read the previous page and understand that an email address and mailbox is not one and the same on our systems.  Then all you need to do is point Outlook or Outlook Express (or any other email program you choose to use) at the following address:-

mail.<your-domain>  e.g.  mail.joebloggs.com

You will need to use your MyServer username and password to gain access, this will be in the form 'jblgslmartin'.

Here are instructions to use on most of the currently popular Microsoft email programs.  Please modify for use with other email programs.
