The following section explains how to download mail from your hostmysite.com account using Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express.

First, go to the Tools menu. Click on "Accounts..."

Put in your name as you want it to appear on your emails and click on "Next"

Put in your email address (first letter of your first name, last name, followed by @beacontechinc.com)

Server type is POP3, incoming and outgoing mail servers are mail.beacontechinc.com

Enter your account name, which is the same as your email address (with the @beacontechinc.com) and enter the password for your account. Do not check the SPA checkbox. Initially, the default password for your account is your username preceded by the letter ‘p’ (i.e. pmmurphy).

Now hit “Next” and then “Finish”. You should now see the following window. If not, go to the Tools menu, and click on "Accounts”. In this window, click on your domain until it is highlighted, then click on "Properties"
