Step 4: Set up your email

Every EasyHost hosting plan comes with at least one email account. You can access the e-mail for this account several ways.

You can use EasyHost's Web-based email interface, SiteMail. SiteMail, available at http://sitemail.easyhost.com, lets you check your email at any time and from any location as long as you have Internet access and a Web browser. All you need is your Master User account name and password.

You can also use a traditional email client, such as Microsoft Outlook or Netscape Communicator, to check your mail. If you would like to use an email client to check your mail, you will need to configure it to work with EasyHost's mail server. If you do not want to use an email client, you can skip this step. If you chose to skip this step, continue with the Step 5 to configure your file transfer client.

The EasyHost Platform Manuals provide detailed instructions for setting up a number of common email clients. You can find these guides in EasyHost's Help Center at help.easyhost.com.
