Using Your ISP or other Web-based Email:
Internet Service Provider (Dialup, DSL or Cable Service) normally provide email services. HRC2.NET customers can continue to use that single address to check their e-mail. In the HRC2 CPanel under the Email icon create a single "mail forward" address and set the "catch all" switch to ON. All email arriving at your domain name will forward to any email address you choose. (ie, webmaster@yourdomain.com forwards to yourname@serviceprovider.net or yourname@hotmail.com)

Outgoing Email Blocking:
Some ISPs, in order to deal with SPAM, have stopped all use of third party SMTP (outgoing) email. If a condition exists where incoming email works and outgoing email fails, please check with the local ISP first. These include but are not limited to cox.net and earthlink.net.

Incoming Email - POP3:
Login to your HRC2 Control Panel to configure services. When you create your account a single POP3 box is created (webmaster@yourdomin). Additional POP3s, Mail Forward and Auto Responders can be created or re-configured there. Set POP3 (incoming mail) to mail.yourdomainname.com (or the correct TLD extension). If you need help setting your mail client program please click the email client you use.
