Other Email Clients (Software Programs)
In order to use an email client to send and receive your domain's emails, you
must designate a new incoming (POP) mail server and a new outgoing (SMTP) mail
server. If you can't add new POP or SMTP servers, you'll need to change your
current server settings. Write down your current settings first -- you may need
to revert to your original settings later if you decide to send and receive
messages from your other email addresses.
