What are the settings I need to use for my email client?

This is what you need to put into your E-Mail client (Outlook, Thunderbird etc.) in order to send and receive e-mail:

Mailservers:

Secure SSL Settings (recommended)
Incoming mail server (POP3/IMAP server): mail.yourdomain (so if your domain is abcde.co.nz then mail.abcde.co.nz)
Outgoing mail server (SMTP server): mail.yourdomain (so if your domain is abcde.co.nz then mail.abcde.co.nz)
(it's best to use your ISPs own mailsettings for sending email)

Username: This is your e-mail address
Password: The password you have set in your Control Panel.

To send E-mail, you must set your e-mail client to "server requires authentication".

Ports:

And the IMAP port for inbound emails is 993
The POP3 port for inbound emails is 995
The SMTP port for outbound emails is 465

If you use the IMAP protocol, please read the following article about deleting old emails from the server: http://smartrange.co.nz/accounts/knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&id=28
