WinHost provides all users with access to send and receiveemail using their domain name. To do this you will have to configureyour email program to use the hostnames detailed here.
Mail server hostname (When configuring your email program, replace "HostingAccountDomain.com" in the examples below with your domain name.)
- POP3 server hostname: mail.HostingAccountDomain.com
- IMAP server hostname: mail.HostingAccountDomain.com
- SMTP server hostname: mail.HostingAccountDomain.com
- Webmail server hostname: mail.HostingAccountDomain.com
POP and IMAP login name The login name for your POP and IMAP accounts is the full emailaddress, not just the user name. For example, if you create the POPaccount "user@HostingAccountDomain.com," the login name is"user@HostingAccountDomain.com" not "user." You must use the full emailaddress as the login name.
Maximum email message size All incoming and outgoing messages are limited to 30MB, including the size of the attachment.
Note: Even though the server can send and receive email up to 30MB insize, the size of an email you can receive is limited to availablespace in your mailbox.
The maximum message size when using the webmail client is 10MB.
SMTP authentication The WinHost mail servers use SMTP Authentication toauthenticate permission to send email through our SMTP (outgoing)server. This means that in order for a user to send an email throughthe SMTP server they must supply a valid POP3 account and password.Most email clients support SMTP Authentication.
SMTP Authentication is in place to prevent non-WinHost usersfrom being able to send email or abuse the SMTP server. Without thisauthentication spammers could utilize our SMTP servers to send spam.
You should only access the mail servers using the hostnames detailed above. Accessing them via IP addresses is
not recommended.The hostnames will not change, the IP addresses they point to however,could change. Using the hostnames prevents the need to update yoursettings if the IP addresses of the servers change.
