You Have A Website Hosted Elsewhere

This section is only for you if you are using MS Outlook and have your own email and website that is not hosted by us.

If the following criteria applies to you, then you are on the right page.

- You have a website

- Your website is hosted by another company (such as GoDaddy or Network Solutions)

- You have your own emails with your domain (such as you@yourdomain.com)

Please follow the instructions below to set up MS Outlook to work using OnALot.com's Wireless system

Note: There are 2 sections on this page. The first is for setting up a new email name, the second is for modifying an existing email name.

Section 1: I Am Setting Up a New Email Name On My Website

Please follow these instructions to set up a new, never used before, email name that will work with your website.

  1. You must call or contact the company that hosts your website and set up the following information:
    - your new email name, such as you@yourdomain.com
    - the password for that account
    - do they require Secure Password Authentication or not?
    - the incoming server name, such as pop3.yourdomain.com or mail.yourdomain.com
    - whether the incoming server is a pop3, imap, or http server
    - you do not need the outgoing server name, you will be using OnALot'.com's instead
  2. You must also call OnALot.com and obtain an email name with us, such as you@onalot.com. You need this so you can send email. We also need a password for this account.
  3. Now open MS Outlook. It may ask you if you want to make it your default email program. Click Yes or OK if it does.
  4. It may launch the Wizard if this is your first email account in MS Outlook or will open if you currently have any email accounts set up.
  5. At his point, follow the new email instructions found here, with the following changes:
    • E-mail Address will be the email account you have set up with your host.
    • Your host will give you the Incoming mail server (POP3) information.
    • The User Name and password will be set by you and your website host.

    • Now click the More Settings ... button
    • Check the My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication box and select the Log on using radio button.
      • Insert your OnALot.com account (e.g., youremail@onalot.com) the @onalot.com is necessary. Then add your password.
      • Now click on OK, NEXT and FINISH.

You are now ready to Send and Receive email.
