    Q: Configuring Outlook to Send and Retrieve Your Email?
    Configuring Outlook to Send and Retrieve Your Email?

    A: Before attempting to setup Outlook to retrieve messages from a POP3 email box on NaijaHost servers, please ensure that you have created the account on our servers. You create POP3 accounts using the Email Admin Console. Once the account is created on our servers, you can use Outlook to retrieve messages sent to this mailbox. From within Outlook, choose:

    The Tools menu, and click Accounts.


    Click the Mail tab.


    Click Add, and then click Mail.


    Type the name you want associated with the account, and then click Next.


    Type the e-mail address of the POP3 account, and then click Next.


    Set your Incoming POP3 server to 'mail.yourdomain.com' where 'yourdomain' is the name of your domain hosted with NaijaHost. Click Next

    IMPORTANT: The name of your Outgoing SMTP server must be set to your dial-up ISP's SMTP server. If you are not sure of the name of this server, please contact your dial-up ISP. NaijaHost does not provide outgoing SMTP services from your local workstation.




    Type the full name of the account you have created, along with the correct password. Ensure you are using the full account name, eg. jsmith@mydomain.com.




    Follow the rest of the Wizard's instructions to complete the account setup. When you've finished, your properties screen should look like the one shown below.


    You can access and edit this screen at anytime by choosing:

    Tools-->Accounts-->Mail Tab-->Properties-->Servers Tab

    If you are sure your Outlook settings are correct and still cannot retrieve your email, please visit the FAQ/InfoBase for more information.

    Q: Using WebMail?
    Using WebMail?

    A:
    WebMail is a browser-based interface that allows you to send and retrieve email messages from the NaijaHost email servers. The service is a bit like HotMail or Yahoo! Mail and allows you to gain access to your POP3 email accounts from any browser that is connected to the Internet.
     
    Connecting to WebMail Windows The login screen for WebMail is located at: http://www.NaijaHost.com/webmail/ or if your website is pointed to our servers: http://www.YourDomain.com/MeWebmail.  

    To login to WebMail, you must enter your full email address and correct password, as shown in the example below.  IMPORTANT: Be sure to include your domain name when logging into WebMail.



    The WebMail Interface: The Webmail interface contains folders and command links that allow you to send, retrieve, and delete messages, compose draft messages, set preferences, and maintain an Address Book.

    Sending Messages: To send a message, click on the Create Message link from the main screen. From the Create Message screen, enter a valid email address and complete the other optional text boxes. Enter your message into the large text box and click the Send button.

    Reading Messages: To read your messages, click on the INBOX link. From the INBOX screen, click on a message to display its contents. If you wish to delete a message, click the check box beside the message and click the Delete button. Deleted messages will be sent to the Trash folder, where they will remain for approximately seven days before being automatically removed from the system. You can adjust the time period that deleted messages will remain on the server using the Preferences link.

    Setting Preferences: By clicking the Preferences link, you can customize the following WebMail options: Display full message headers Display HTML E-Mail The purge period for deleted messages Show oldest messages first Sort messages by Date, Sender or Subject Define the number of messages to display in the INBOX A personlized signature Enter the addresses of mailing lists you are subscribed to Once you have made any changes, click the Update Preferences button to save your changes.

    Q: Do you have a Shared SSL Certificate?
    Do you have a Shared SSL Certificate?

    A: All NaijaHost customers receive access to a shared certificate on their server. This provides a higher level of security, unlike some hosting companies that house their shared SSL on a separate server. To reference the shared SSL certificate, use the URL contained in your NaijaHost welcome letter.

    Q: What are Custom Name Servers?
    What are Custom Name Servers?

    A:

    Custom name servers, or vanity names, can be used to customize how your registered domain name information is displayed. They are primarily seen in a "Whois" lookup on your domain name.

    With custom name servers, you might have your information like so: DNS Servers: ns1.mycustomname.com 216.26.xxx.xx1 ns2.mycustomname.com 216.26.xxx.xx2 In addition, a reverse lookup of IP address "216.26.xxx.xx1" will show "ns1.mycustomname.com". You will be able to use your custom nameserver aliases for all domain name registrations. Please note that the IP addresses are still owned and controlled by NaijaHost.

    If someone traces back the IP address using an ARIN Whois lookup, it will display our name because we control the block of IP addresses. Please visit our Pricing page for additional information, and contact NaijaHost Support (support@NaijaHost.com) if you are interested in purchasing custom name servers.
