Setting Up Your E-mail Account
SET UP A NEW E-MAIL ACCOUNT
Customers who order an E-mail Services account for a domain name can set these services up by following
these two steps:
1. Choose a user name for the e-mail account.
Log into to My Account and click Modify/Update for the domain name. Click the E-mail
Settings tab and then click Modify under E-mail Services for the mailbox. Here you can specify a user
name (mailbox name) for that account. (The user name will be the part of the e-mail address that goes before
the "@" sign.)
2. Access the new e-mail account using a Web browser or POP3 e-mail client.
Using a Web browser: In your browser, open the Web address "http://mail.gonamesecure.com,"
where "gonamesecure.com" is your registered domain name. (You can also click the Check Mail link located
in the E-mail Settings section for that domain in My Account.)
You will be prompted for your user name and password. (Note: When you first access your e-mail account,
your password is the same as your NameSecure log-in password.)
Using a POP3 e-mail client (such as Microsoft Outlook, or Eudora): Configure your e-mail client
using the following information:
| Incoming Mail Server (POP3 Host) |
mail.gonamesecure.com |
| Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP Server) |
smtp.gonamesecure.com |
| Mailbox Name (User Name) |
Your e-mail address (pete@gonamesecure.com) |
| Password |
Initially, this is the same as your My Account password |
For specific configuration instructions, refer to the documentation provided
with your e-mail client.

SPECIAL SETUP INFORMATION FOR MICROSOFT®
OUTLOOK 2002
If you receive the following error using Outlook 2002/XP:
553 To send mail, first check your mail
with a valid POP account; this prevents unauthorized SPAM relaying. (#5.7.1)
Configure the e-mail client using the following information:
- Under the Tools menu in Outlook, click E-mail Accounts.
- Select Add a new e-mail account, and then click Next.
- Select the e-mail server used for your account, and then
click Next.
- In the appropriate boxes, type the information shown below.
| Incoming Mail Server (POP3
Host) |
mail.gonamesecure.com |
| Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP
Server) |
smtp.gonamesecure.com |
| Mailbox Name (User Name) |
Your e-mail address (pete@gonamesecure.com) |
| Password |
Initially, this is the same
as your My Account password |
Notes:
- Do not select the Log on using Secure Password Authentication
(SPA) check box.
- Unless specified, type all server and address entries in
lowercase letters.
- You have the option of having Outlook remember your password
by typing it in the Password box and selecting the Remember
password check box. While this means that you won't have to type in
your password each time you access the account, it also means that the
account is vulnerable to anyone who has access to your computer.
- If you are adding a POP3 server account, click Test
Account Settings to verify that your account is working. If there
is missing or incorrect information, such as your password, you will be
prompted to supply or correct it. Be sure your computer is connected to
the Internet.
- To configure additional settings, such as how you want your
computer to connect to your e-mail server, click More Settings.
The e-mail server requires the email client to log on to the
POP3 server before accessing messages. You can have Microsoft® Outlook log
on to your POP3 server automatically by following these steps:
- Under the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.
- Select View or change existing e-mail accounts, and
then click Next.
- In the list, click the POP3 e-mail account that you want,
and then click Change.
- Click More Settings, and then click the Outgoing
Server tab.
- Click Log on to incoming mail server before sending mail,
and then click OK.
- Click Next, and then click Finish.
