Setting Up an Email Client such as Microsoft Outlook or Thunderbird
Each AgentMethods website comes with email accounts. To use these email accounts, you must first register a domain through your AgentMethods control panel (see these instructions). Once you have added your domain, the AgentMethods administrators will activate your email accounts. You can always access your email through our webmail application, located at webmail.YOUR-DOMAIN-NAME.com (replacing YOUR-DOMAIN-NAME with the domain you have added). Additionally, you can access your mail using a email client such as Microsoft Outlook.
General Instructions for Setting Up Email Clients:
These are the settings you will need to use:

Incoming mail (POP) server: pop.your-domain-name.com
(i.e. pop.thedoes.com or pop.acme.com) Port 110 -
Outgoing mail (SMTP) server: smtp.your-domain-name.com
