Mailbox Setup Guide

Setting up a Standard mailbox only takes a few minutes. You can set up any email software to receive email from your mailbox. This guide will show you step by step how to set up the most common mail software to work with your new mailbox.

You can connect to your mailbox using either the POP3 or IMAP protocols. As a rule of thumb it is better to use POP3 if only one computer accesses your mailbox, while it is better to use IMAP if you have a number of computers that will access your mailbox. This guide will show you step by step how to set up the most common mail clients to work with your new mailbox, using whichever protocol you prefer.

 Before you Start

Before you set up your email software, there are certain things you will need:

• Incoming Server address (shown in your control panel)
• SMTP address (as advised by your internet service provider)
• Username (This is the same as the email address for your new mailbox)
• Password (As specified when you created the mailbox)

Software Covered in this Guide

1. Windows Live Mail
2. Thunderbird
3. Mac Mail

Service2Client recommends secure connections to our email servers. 

• Choose POP3 or IMAP
• POP - An email protocol in which mail is saved in a mailbox on the mail server. When the end user reads the mail, it is immediately downloaded to the client computer and is no longer maintained on the mail server.
• IMAP - A client/server protocol in which email is received and held by the mail server. IMAP requires continual access to the client during the time that it is working with the      mail server.

Smartermail:

• POP3 = mail.s2csecuremail.com 
• IMAP = mail.s2csecuremail.com
• SMTP = mail.s2csecuremail.com 

Standard Mail:

• POP3 = dal11.service2client.com 
• IMAP = dal11.service2client.com  
• SMTP = dal11.service2client.com
