  1. This means your email account within your email client is not configured properly. Verify that you are using the correct SMTP (outgoing mail server); you can find this information on your ISP’s web site.

    Most ISPs filter outbound SMTP connections for their users. When filters are in place users must use their ISP’s SMTP servers. ISPs that filter outbound SMTP access include MSN, AOL, Prodigy, Verizon, Compuserve, and Dellnet by MSN. This list is not complete, but we have confirmed that these users must use their ISP's outbound SMTP server due to blocks placed on their traffic by their ISP

  2. Your POP3 server is mail.YOURDOMAIN.com, where you replace “YOURDOMAIN.com” with the name of your domain.

  3. Use your ISP’s SMTP (outgoing mail server). You can find this information on your ISP’s web site. It’s usually something like mail.isp.net or smtp.isp.net.

  4. The 0x800CCC0E error code is generated by Outlook when it is unable to connect to the remote server in order to send the Email. This connection attempt occurs on port 25, the standard SMTP port. However, due to circumstances beyond our control your connection attempt was denied on port 25. Several factors can cause this, including: a firewall between your machine and our servers, your Internet connection being offline, or your ISP blocking access to port 25. You can read more information about ISP-related port 25 blocking issues in the previous question.

  5. You can review your email account usernames and passwords in CAMS. Login to CAMS at http://www.YOURDOMAIN.com/cams, where you replace YOURDOMAIN with the name of your domain.

  6. Every account activated with us receives a catchall POP3 box by default. A catchall POP3 box provides a single collection point for all of the mail sent to your domain name that does not match any other Email boxes. On new accounts, only the default catch-all box is created, which means you can send and receive Email from anything at your domain name and it will all go into one box. If your domain name was mydomain.com, your default catch-all would be mydomain@mydomain.com, which would receive everything @mydomain.com. If you created another Email box, we will use jane@mydomain.com as an example, anything that did not match that Email box would go to the catchall box. This means people could send Email to jane@mydomain.com and it would be collected in Jane's Email box, and everything else would collect in your Catchall Email box.

  7. You may choose to access your email online. Go to: http://webmail.compuhost.com

    Username:
    Password:

    In the Server box, click on POP3 Server ( POP3 Server, Custweb2 Accounts)

    Then click the Login button - you can just ignore the Language option.

    The first time you login in, it will ask you about maintenance (IMP Maintenance Operations- Confirm). Just click Skip Maintenance and you'll be logged in to the email program.

    The first thing you want to do is set up an Identity, so that when you send mail it shows as coming from your domain name. Click on Options, then under Your Information click on Personal Information. Click on Edit Your Identities. Under Your Identities, select Default Identity. You want this to be your catchall account. For Identity, leave that the same.
    For Your full name: enter your name Your from: address: this is the email address you're sending from Your Reply-to: address: make sure to enter your email address, i.e. yourname@yourdomainname.com Then go ahead and set up a signature; this will be sent with every email.

    Repeat these steps for all email accounts that you want to check through Webmail.
