Please don't leave copies of emails on the server!

Clients with "real" (non-forwarded) domain emails:

For those of you with domain email addresses (yourname@yourdomain.com) which are NOT forwarded to gmail or elsewhere, everything should be functioning perfectly. There is one change, however, and that is that the new server is limiting everyone to 500 MB of server space for emails. This is obviously a lot of space -- as long as you clear your messages off the server regularly. Note that this does NOT mean you have to clear it off your own computer, you just need to click the box in your email preferences that says to delete email off the server.

In Apple Mail, for example, you can do preferences, then accounts, and then under the Advanced tab, UNCLICK "Remove copy from server after retrieving a message" and you can pick "after one week" or whatever.

If you check your domain email in gmail (a great solution), go to mail settings (under the blue gear in the far upper right corner), choose "Accounts and Import." Under "Check mail using Pop3," on the far right click on "edit info." Then UNCLICK the box that says "Leave a copy of retrieved messages on the server."

Other various email programs should have a similar way to do it.

Simple!

Setting up Domain Email in Gmail!

You can set up your domain email (yourname@yourdomain.com) in GMAIL, which means you can send and receive your domain email right from GMAIL.

In gmail, go to mail settings (under the blue gear in the far upper right corner), choose "Accounts and Import.” Under “Check mail using POP3” click the box that says: “Add POP3 email account” and follow the instructions. It’s really quite simple.

Put in your email addy (yourname@yourdomain.com)

Username is full email addy: yourname@yourdomain.com

Pw: xxxx

POP Server: mail.yourdomain.com (port 110 is fine)

Choose: “Send through yourdomain.com SMTP servers”

SMTP Server: mail.yourdomain.com

Click “Always use a secure connection (SSL) when sending mail”

That’s it!

You can even then send using that account, which is awesome.

Make sure to NOT CLICK the box that says "Leave a copy of retrieved messages on the server." – this way, while you can save emails in Gmail, our server won’t be overrun with a million saved messages!

Note, if your domain account is already set up in gmail, to remove copies from server do this:

In gmail, go to mail settings (under the blue gear in the far upper right corner), choose "Accounts and Import." Under "Check mail using Pop3," on the far right click on "edit info." Then UNCLICK the box that says "Leave a copy of retrieved messages on the server."

That's it!

Simple!
