To configure your Outlook Express or any other e-mail client, you need
to know your POP3 and SMTP servers. To find them out:
-
Log into websuvidha control panel;
-
Select Mail Info in the Mail Info menu.
Your provider's mail server may use different SMTP relays for sending
mail - POP before SMTP or SMTP AUTH. In POP before SMTP,
the relay system collects your IP address when you authenticate yourself
with the POP server, and then permits SMTP relaying from that IP address
for a short period of time. In other words, if your server uses POP
before SMTP, you need to check your mail first, only then you can send
your messages. If your mail servers uses SMTP AUTH, you must
configure your Outlook Express to send a login and password not only
when you receive mail, but also when you send it. Ask your provider
which relay the server uses.
