Email Client Setup

In order to get running with your email, you'll want to get your email client set up.  Follow these directions, and if you have any problems, contact us!

Quick Settings for all clients:

  • Note: Replace yourdomainname.com with your own domain name!
  • Note: More ISP's are requiring you to use their SMTP server in order to send mail. If you are having trouble using our SMTP server, check your ISP's rules!
SMTP mail.yourdomainname.com (port 25 or 587)
POP3 mail.yourdomainname.com (port 110 or 995)
IMAP4 mail.yourdomainname.com (port 143 or 993)
HTTP mail.yourdomainname.com (port 8080)
Web Browser mail.yourdomainname.com (port 80 or 443)

Our SMTP server requires authentication before you'll be able to send mail.  Make sure you check that off.  We use port 25 and port 587 to receive your email, it is NOT encrypted!

If you choose to use the SSL encrypted ports (995, 993, 443), use mail.compudocinc.com as the server name.

Mail can be picked up via our web client as well at http://mail.yourdomainname.com

Post Office administration can be done with an administrative logon at https://mailadmin.compudocinc.com
