Welcome to our Email Services Page!
If your website is hosted with AWCS.net then email is a part of
your hosting package. At AWCS.net we offer POP3 Mail (Outlook type), Web Mail,
Web Based Email Administration and Mail forwarding.
POP3 and SMTP settings.
If you are using and email client such as Outlook or Outlook
express some of the settings you will be asked in setting them up is the POP3
and SMTP servers. When you have email accounts with AWCS.net your POP3 setting
will be mail.”insert your domain”.com for example mail.yourdomain.com. If you
have multiple domains pointed to the same website and you’re not sure, give us
call and we can tell you what your POP3 server is. Your SMTP server settings are
usually the same, for example mail.yourdomain.com. In some cases your ISP will
not allow you to send email through their servers for a different SMTP server.
You might find that you can receive email fine but you cannot send email using
our SMTP servers. In that case contact your ISP that you have your internet
connection from and tell them you need to know what their SMTP server settings
are. When asked for your “Account Name” or “Login” that is your email address
and password assigned to your email account. To see how and where these setting
are entered for Outlook and Outlook express please scroll down the page to see
instructions and screen shots of how to enter them. We understand that this can
be confusing to work through so feel free to contact us to help you . Many
people ask what do those initials POP3 and SMTP stand for. The answers will
surprise and hopefully amuse you. POP3 means, Plain Old Post Office Version 3.
SMTP means, Simple Mail Transport Protocol.
Web Based Email.
You can access your email account two different ways. You can
use and email client like Outlook or Outlook Express or you can access your
email from any Internet Browser from anywhere in the world. This web based email
service is similar to Yahoo Mail, Hot Mail or Gmail. All you need to do is go to
www.awcsmail.net and then
enter your email address and password. This makes it very convenient to check
your mail when traveling or away from your home or office computer. All you need
is a computer with and internet connection and a browser like Internet Explorer
and you can check your mail.
Web Based Email Administration.
AWCS.net offers web based administration of your domain and
email accounts. If your are the primary responsible person for you account with
AWCS.net your email address will be setup as the Domain Administrator. This will
allow you to setup and delete email accounts and change settings for your
domain. As our standard of practice we only setup one domain administrator per
account but you can have as many setup as you would like. To access our mail
administration site please go to
www.awcsmailadmin.net.
Once you arrive at the page just enter your email address and password to make
changes.
Even if you are not the domain administrator you can still use
the email administration system to make changes to your email account. You can
add aliases, forward your mail, add away messages and change your password to
name some of the changes you can make to your email account.
Mail Forwarding.
If you have other email accounts that you currently use and
don’t want to check and email account on our servers we can forward your mail to
any other email account you would like. If your company has a corporate email
system or uses and in-house or hosted Microsoft Exchange Server we can point
your mail exchange records to it or directly forward all mail to your corporate
servers. All we need is the IP address to forward your mail too.
