POP3 email accounts are actual e-mailboxes that can send and receive emails. You will need to have already purchased an Email Pak for your domain name before you can setup emails.

There are 2 parts to using a POP3 email account: (1) setup the email account(s), (2) setup the email client (e.g. Outlook Express or other email software). Alternatively, you may also use your POP3 email accounts via Webmail.

To setup a POP3 email account, please follow these steps:

1. Click on the Login Now link on the GetYourChurchDomain.com home page and login using your account information.
   
   
2. Click on the "domain names" > "my domains" in the left navigation menu.
   
   
3. Click on the domain name that you wish to configure, listed on the MY DOMAINS screen.
   
   
   
4. Scroll down to the section labeled "Email Settings". The current service should say: POP3 Email / Webmail.
   
• If the current service indicated is not POP3 Email / Webmail, then you may need to purchase an Email Pak first.
• If you had already purchased an Email Pak, use the CHANGE SERVICE button to select POP3 Email as your current service.


5. Click on the CONFIGURE button to setup POP3 email accounts.
   
   
   
6. Setup your POP3 email account(s) by entering mailbox username(s), password(s), and display name(s).
   
   
   
7. Click the SAVE ALL CHANGES button to finish.
   
   
8. Inform your user(s) of their account information and email client setup information.

What do the email fields do?

In the POP3 email account setup, there are 3 fields (see step #6 on left). Here is what each of them does:

The "New mailbox/ user name" field specifies the username associated with the mailbox. For example, if you setup the username as "pastor", the email address will be pastor@yourdomainname.org.

The "Password" field specifies the password associated with the email account. This password will be used to access the mailbox using an email client, like Outlook Express, or to access the mailbox using WebMail.

The "Display Name" is what shows up in some email programs in the "FROM" field, so if you enter "Pastor John Doe" in the "Display Name" field, when people receive an email from the pastor@yourdomainname.org, the recipient will get something like an email with a "FROM" field that looks like: Pastor John Doe <pastor@yourdomainname.org>
