The following instructions provide a general setup guide for various email clients. While these settings work for most third-party email clients like Outlook, Eudora, Thunderbird, iPad, and more, they may not be compatible with every email program.
Important: Be sure to replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain name when configuring your email client.
