* You can use any email client you wish, tested clients are Outlook Express, Outlook and Eudora.  All standard clients should work with our mail server using POP3 or IMAP protocol. All accounts that are not forwarded to an external address are POP3 enabled by default, IMAP will be enabled on request and depending  on your hosting plan.
You can also use any Internet Browser to access your email via the web without setup.

Email client settings:

Incoming POP3 / IMAP Mail server:

You can use your ISP's SMTP relay or alternately use mail.hostmeister.com with     authentication.  Please note that some ISP's block access to SMTP outside there network and you may receive an error similar to "The connection to the server timed out".   You can use alternately port 366 for outbound email.
