be your entire email address on your new domain. For example:

After you have logged in, first go to Options => Personal

you would like your signature to be added automatically
to every email. You may also prefix the signature line
with “—“.
Problems logging into webmail:
Most office buildings as well as hotels have
a firewall setup to block access to the ports required
for webmail to load. These ports are 2086 and 2087. They
might possibly be able to remove these blocks from their
firewall.
If you are continuing to have problems logging in, please
contact Tracy at 978-745-8533 or at tracy@tacwebdesign.com
Email attachment issues
Try zipping/compressing your attachment files
The server is designed to block attachment types which
are seen as a danger if they are not zipped up.
Some attachment types that are blocked are: .bat .src .exe.
The reason for this is that your mailbox would be flooded
every day with viruses if this was not in place. A few
attachments that are fine without zipping up are: .gif
.jpg .html .pdf. Unfortunately, there is no way to turn
this off so your only option is to zip your attachment
or doing the below.
Your file size may be too large
The size
of the attachment
if you're sending
an attachment that
is 10 MB or larger,
it will fail due
to the size.
If you are sending it from webmail this limit is less than
2 MB. A better option to get around these limits would
be to upload the file to your site and give out the link
instead. You could even password protect so the public
cannot view or access the file.
