If the e-mail program you use isn't listed on the Setting Up An E-Mail Program page, the information below will help you configure it. We'd also appreciate it if you could send a message to support@tigertech.net letting us know the name of your program, so we can add more explicit instructions for other users.

It's correct for the username and the e-mail address to be the same. The username must be all lowercase.
Optionally, your mail program may support SSL security encryption for incoming mail. If so, you can turn on the SSL option.

Use these settings to send e-mail:
Optionally, your mail program may support SSL security encryption for outgoing mail. If so, you can turn on the SSL option if you wish (doing so may require you to change the outgoing SMTP port number to 465 instead of 25 or 587).
(A note for technically advanced users: our SMTP servers support optional TLS on ports 25 and 587, and pure SSL on port 465.)
Some older e-mail programs don't accept usernames with @ signs in them.
If you have an e-mail program that doesn't allow you to enter the username in the form address@example.com, you can enter it as example.com-address instead: that's example.com, plus a hyphen, plus address. (The username must be all lowercase).
If you do this, be sure that you use example.com-address only for the incoming and outgoing username, and not for the e-mail address. Your e-mail address is always address@example.com.
