Configuring your E-mail client software

As an IT Solutions Web Hosting client you should use these settings to configure your software to check your email.  Your setup process will vary according to the software you use, but this configuration information will be needed.  The procedure for MS Outlook is described below. 
Remember to replace "username" with your actual username, and replace "yourdomain.com" with your actual domain name.

Note: These instructions apply to most other hosting services as well, such as your personal email accounts.  However, some details may change and must be verified with the particular provider.  Changes that are most likely expected are the names of their SMTP or POP servers. eg. mail.myprovider.com, smtp.myprovider.com, pop.myprovider.com, etc.
