   A page will open that let you enter the details of the new e-mail account.

Type a desired name to be used in the e-mail address (e.g. Your.Name) in the field "E-mail address", select a domain name (e.g. yourdomain.com) from the drop-down menu and enter a password which will be used to access the mailbox later on. You may also choose to activate the "catch-all" feature, or set an autoresponder at this time.

How to setup and access my e-mails?

In order to check your e-mail and send new e-mail messages, you can use either a web-based client or an e-mail client installed on your computer (such as Outlook Express, Mozilla Thunderbird, etc.)

1. You may use both a POP3 or IMAP e-mail client with the following settings:
Incoming mail server (POP3/IMAP): mail.properhost.net
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): mail.properhost.net
Username: The name of your e-mail account (may be different from your e-mail alias)
Password: The password to your e-mail account

Note: The outgoing mail server (SMTP) requires authentication.
You should look for an option similar to "My server requires authentication" in your e-mail client. The username/password is the same as for incoming e-mail.

2. To use the Webmail client, log in here:
http://www.properhost.net/login.html

You can also access the Webmail from inside the Control Panel. If you need help using the Webmail, please contact support.
