- Create an account, remember the username and password to enter into your Email Client
Client Settings: Connecting your email
- Find the settings/add accounts area
- The mail (POP3) and smtp servers are yourdomain.co.nz
- Enter your account and password details
Usernames are the entire email address [email protected] (the user name by itself will not work) - Under advance setting check ports for Outgoing and Incoming mail.

Outgoing mail port (SMTP) is 465
Incoming mail port (IMAP) is 993

Enter in to you web browser address bar, (remember to change yourdomain.co.nz for your actual website domain)

Trouble shooting
- Trouble Connecting, check username is full email address, passwords are case sensitive
- Trouble Sending, check SMTP port is set to 465
- Check DNS and MX records are correct, if you domain name is with another provider you will need to update those.
