Aspiresite recommends that you use either Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Outlook Express as your email client. If you use another email program such as Netscape, Eudora or Pegasus, the information you need to input remains the same. Please refer to your particular program's help files for assistance in setting up your email account.

1- Click Tools at the menu bar, then select Accounts from the drop down menu and you will see a window similar to the graphic above. Make sure the 'Mail' tab is selected and click the Add button. 

2- You will now see an input field for your name. Type your name as you would like it to appear in the 'From' field in any email you send. It can be your full name, first name or nickname. What you type here is entirely up to you. When you are done, click the Next button.

3- Now you need to type your email address in the format you@yourdomain.com, .net or .org. When finished click the Next button. 

4- The next window you see will be similar to the one above. Your incoming mail server will always be mail.aspiresite.com . Your outgoing mail server will need to be set to that of your ISP or your company's internal mail server. Contact your ISP or I.T. technician for help with this setting. When finished click the Next button. 

5- You will now be prompted for your logon information. In the Account Name field, you will need to type your email address, just like you did in step #3 above. Also type your password, and the choice is your whether or not you want to check the Remember Password box. When finished click the Next button. 

6- You will now be asked your connection method. In most cases you will choose the first or the second radio button. If you access the internet using a modem select the first option. If you use a LAN or cable modem, chose the second option. When finished click the Next button, then click Finish at the next window.

Congratulations, you are done!
