2. Select Add a new e-mail account and click Next.
3. Under Server Type, click the appropriate incoming mail server type and then click Next.
4. Under the User Information area, type the name that you want others to see when you send a message, in the Your Name field. Incase you selected POP3 as the incoming mail server in the above step, enter the Incoming mail server as pop.yourdomainname.com. If you selected IMAP as the incoming mail server, then the mail server you need to use is imap.yourdomainname.com. The SMTP server address in any case will be entered as smtp.yourdomainname.com. Type your complete email address and the corresponding password in the User Name and Password boxes respectively under Logon Information.

Many ISPs block port 25 in order to minimize the amount of spam sent using their network. If you are facing issues sending mails using the default port 25, you can confirm with your ISP whether port 25 is indeed blocked by them.
To circumvent this, Gossimer allows you to use an alternate port 2525 for sending mails if port 25 is blocked -
a. In Microsoft Outlook 2003, on the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.
b. Select View or change existing email accounts and click Next.
c. Select the email account you wish to modify and click Change.

28 Feb 10 What is a Domain Alias?
Gossimer allows you to receive emails on multiple domain names, at the email addresses created through your Email Hosting package. This enables you to receive emails on multiple domain names, without having to go through the trouble of setting up email addresses for each domain name.
Example 1
If you have bought Email Hosting for yourdomain.com and want to receive emails sent to email addresses on yourdomain.net and yourdomain.info at the email addresses created for yourdomain.com, then you may do so by mentioning yourdomain.net and yourdomain.info as aliases for yourdomain.com. Here, emails sent to user@yourdomain.net and user@yourdomain.info can be received at user@yourdomain.com.
Example 2
If you have bought Email Hosting for yourdomain.com and want to receive emails sent to email addresses on yourdomain1.com and yourdomain2.com at the email addresses created for yourdomain.com, then you may do so by mentioning yourdomain1.com and yourdomain2.com as aliases for yourdomain.com. Here, emails sent to user@yourdomain1.com and user@yourdomain2.com can be received at user@yourdomain.com.
You can add up to 5 Domain Aliases with each Email Hosting package that you purchase. However, note that DNS Services in your Email Hosting package are included only for the primary domain name, and not for the Domain Aliases.

24 Feb 10 What is an Email Forward or Alias?
Assume you have just created an Email address, say sales@yourcompany.com where you wish to entertain all sales queries from your clients. Now, you desire that all mail being sent to this email address not be collected in a single mailbox, but instead be directed to the individual email addresses of all your sales team members.
This is where Email Forwards / Aliases are useful. You can setup all email for sales@yourcompany.com to be forwarded to any other single or multiple email addresses. This implies that sales@yourcompany.com is an alias for multiple email accounts or other aliases.
You can forward email to a specific address to either a local destination, or a remote one. Hence, mail sent to sales@yourcompany.com can be forwarded to either john@yourcompany.com, or john@hotmail.com, or both! Apart from this, you can also specify wild-carded destinations for your Email.
